Can I Merge Dropbox Accounts?

User Case: “I created a Dropbox account and saved some data. After a few months, I lost the email associated with that Dropbox account. Then I created a new Dropbox account” Jeffery Cody said, “I, in general, only use the new account. Is there a way to combine my two cloud drive accounts?”

Many users have two Dropbox accounts like Jeffery to save different data. We all know that the free storage of Dropbox is too small to store much data, thus you have to upgrade one account to the Pro version if you insist on using Dropbox as the cloud storage tool.

With enough space in one account, you can transfer files from one Dropbox account to another. And, if you want to use two or more Dropbox accounts, you also can link two Dropbox accounts together.

How to Merge Two Dropbox Accounts?

As you already know, Dropbox does not support two different accounts on a single desktop, making it nearly impossible to merge Dropbox accounts. Here in this article, you will find 3 free ways to help connect and merge Dropbox accounts on a single device.

Solution 1. Combine Dropbox Accounts through Local Computer

This way will spend more energy and time. If you want an easier way, you can scroll down to the last section. You probably have installed the Dropbox app and synced one of your Dropbox accounts to your local computer. Suppose the account you have synced to your computer is account X, and the other is account Y, then you should transfer data from account X to Y:

Step 1. Log off account X from your computer.
Step 2. Sign in with account Y.
Step 3. Locate the Dropbox folder of the X account, which should be named Dropbox (old).
Step 4. Copy everything in the Dropbox(old) folder to the new Dropbox folder

Wait for the Dropbox desktop app to complete the sync and the account merging is done. If you want to transfer data from account Y to X, you can just download all the content online from account Y to your Dropbox folder on your computer.

Solution 2. Merge Two Dropbox Accounts with "Share"

In addition to the above methods, we can also choose the sharing function in Dropbox to indirectly realize the combination of two accounts.

Step 1. Enter the Dropbox account that contains the data you are considering moving from.
Step 2. After logging in, create a shared folder and move the data need to connect to the shared folder.
Step 3. Share the folder to another Dropbox account and grant the edit permission.

Step 4. Enter the second account and find the shared folder in the "Shared" tab. At this point, you can obtain this data at any time.

Compared to the first method, this method is smarter but has some disadvantages.
