Transfer files from another cloud

Hi. I want to know if there's a direct way to transfer all my files from OneDrive to Dropbox.

    Hey there Anam - how are you today?

    Assuming that you have those files on your computer you should be able to move or copy them inside your Dropbox folder - if you have installed our desktop app which is designed to watch your Dropbox folder and sync any files placed in the folder that is!

    Your Dropbox folder is just like any other folder on your hard drive, but with syncing features.

    To take advantage of Dropbox, move or copy files into the Dropbox folder. This will place the files into the Dropbox folder. Once Dropbox sees changes in the Dropbox folder, it automatically syncs the new changes to Dropbox servers and to any other computer linked to your account.

    Note that you can also access your Dropbox online at https://www.dropbox.com

    For more information on how to sync with Dropbox you check out our Dropbox tour. 

    Hope this information gets you going and please let me know if you have any more questions.
