Cloud Storage

"I have 8GB of files in dropbox but want to transfer them to Onedrive. I've signed up for the £1.99/month Onedrive subscription for 100Gb of cloud storage which should be more than enough but I'd like to know the easiest way to transfer files from dropbox to Onedrive? And is there a method I definitely SHOULDN'T use?!"

Easiest way would just be to have a machine that's signed in to both the old dropbox account and the new onedrive account then copy and paste from the dropbox folder to the onedrive folder. The limiting factor will be upload speed to onedrive, if you're in a rush you could take your laptop somewhere with a fast internet connection.
GazM:
Perfect, thanks Remus. That's what she'd suspected but just wanted to check she wasn't missing something obvious.

I've got about 120GB of guidebook material backed up to a one drive account whose annual subscription is coming up for renewal. It'll be £60 which feels like a lot for an Office subscription I no longer really need and a backup which I rarely ever touch. I can't bump down to the cheaper plan without deleting a load of stuff (the limit is 100GB) so I'm looking for a cheaper alternative.
Google have cheap cloud storage options for infrequently accessed data called Coldline or Archive storage but these options look geared towards commercial operations.
Any suggestions?

Have you stored in uncompressed or as a zip file? If the former, you may be lucky enough that compressing it drops the size suitably for qualifying for the 100GB version
