How do I copy files from one onedrive account to a different one drive account? I'm really struggling. Help please.

I have tried to follow a video online but got confused.

Hello, Pen_224

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

If you're transferring files between two different OneDrive accounts, there are a couple of ways to approach it. I'll give you the most straightforward methods:

Download and Upload

1.Download the Files: Log into your first OneDrive account -<onedrive.live.com> and download the files you want to transfer to your computer. You can:

•Select individual files or folders and click Download.

•Or, create a ZIP archive if you're dealing with multiple files.

2.Switch Accounts: Log out of the first OneDrive account and log into the second account.

3.Upload the Files:

•Navigate to the folder where you want to place the downloaded files.

•Click Upload, then select the files or ZIP archive to upload them.

Additional tips: If your files are larger than 250GB or if you are uploading, downloading or moving a large number of files at once, you may have to wait longer for the process to complete.

>> However, this also depends on whether your internet service operator has set a speed limit on the upload bandwidth of your home/personal network. For more details on these limits, please refer to:Restrictions and limitations in OneDrive and SharePoint - Microsoft Support

In addition, if your account was previously a student account authorised for use by the university, consider using Mover to assist you with this migration process. Please refer to this article: Transfer files to your personal OneDrive with the Mover Transfer Wizard - Microsoft Support

Feel free to let know if anything unclear, thanks :)
