    Hello AbdAlrahman Fouda,

    Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    I understand you’re trying to transfer your files from your current OneDrive account to a new one.

    Here are the common methods for you to try:

    Option 1: Download and Upload

    • Sign in to the old OneDrive account.
    • Download all files and folders to your local computer.
    • Sign in to the new OneDrive account.
    • Upload the downloaded files to the new account.

    Option 2: Use OneDrive Sync Client

    • Install the OneDrive desktop app.
    • Sync the old account to a local folder.
    • After syncing, unlink the old account and link the new account.
    • Move the synced files into the new OneDrive folder to upload automatically.

    Option 3: Share and Copy

    • Share folders from the old account with the new account.
    • Log in to the new account and copy the shared files into your own OneDrive.
