Looks like I was right to mistrust cloud transfer programs. This is rated the best but look at the state of the actual reviews.. https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/multcloud.com

It has been a while since I have been involved with OneDrive, but I think you will find the personal version (which is what you are paying for), is not the same as the business version - which is an entirely different product based on sharepoint.
It isn't that you just get more features if you pay, it is entirely different technology - they just "brand" it the same.
Is this a one-off transfer of files, or is it going to be a regular thing? And how big are the files we are talking about?
Is there any sensitive personal information included in the data?

Its two Large sets of files. Both use google drive share facility to give you access to the files after you purchase them. One is a mega Tshirt design bundle and the Other is a Plasma DXF files both are around 10 gigabytes.
whats more confusing is there are only 2 purchases but three sets of files. 1 shows up in both google drive and one drive the other only in google drive...arrggg.

One of those is showing a screenshot of Microsoft One Drive, the Other is showing Google Drive.
These are different storage products by two different companies....
Do you want these transferred to a dropbox folder?
Do you pay for Dropbox? The free version is limited to only 2Gb of space.

Yes but they are both using the same email address. I think the problem is the vendor gives me a download link where THEY store the 10gb files 8n Google drive. I can only get them to download after they are zipped.
I may have solved the problem in that I realised the files get zipped in a number of zips but then each has to be downloaded individually. In this case an hour later.
I am not sure how it decides the default location to save to.
Yes I pay for Dropbox I have a terabyte.
And yes I need them transfered to Dropbox. I also want them on my main pc .
One of the issues I face is drop box has a m8nd of its own. I store large files that I simply don't want on the PC in my caravan. (It uses a metered connection) but despite me designating new files online only they seem to migrate to the caravan PC as well.

Doesn't really matter what email address they are signed up from, but the way they work will be fundamentally different.
If you have access to an unmetered internet connection on your main PC, then download the files on that PC and upload them to your dropbox there.
On the caravan PC, look at your dropbox settings and make sure they are set to "online-only" mode or use selective sync to choose which folders to sync.
Otherwise dropbox will download everything to that PC as well.
