Starting a new dropbox and want to move almost 1 TB to my new dropbox.
Hi!
I have had my dropbox on my husband and want to have it on my email instead. Then I have to move over almost 1TB to the new dropbox but to download files takes forever. Are there any faster way...

Hi there Karin Holmstrom Art, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
There are two ways you could go on about this.
The first one would be to swap the email address of your husband's account with yours, but this would require a 3rd email address that's not associated with a Dropbox account already to act as a placeholder during the swap process.
The other, easier and quicker way to do this, would be to create a folder from your husband's account, copy or move all of your content there and then share this folder with your own email address/Dropbox account.
I hope this helps and please let us know if you need any further assistance, Karin.
