@Chris Carter - I will call your Free Plan email “free email” and the paid plan’s email address “paid email”.

With that in mind, before you want to move a board owned by free email to the paid account, only the board owner, .i.e., free mail, can use the “move to team” action. And, in order for “free email” to move the board to another team, that user would need to be a member of the other team. Since you likely don’t want to add free email to the paid account, therefore incurring an additional license, you can:

1. Add paid email as a team member on your Free Plan team.
2. While signed in as paid email on the Free Plan team, duplicate the board you wish to move. Once you duplicate the board, paid email will be the owner of that board.
3. Now that you are the owner of the board and, i.e., paid email is a member of the paid plan, paid email can move the board to the paid plan/team/space. 

I think that should about cover it, but let me know if I was not understanding your situation.

Thank you Robert! I’ll give that a try. That’s exactly the type of sequence that I thought might be required. FYI that I was able to copy/paste the model from the free account to a new board in the paid account, so that got me part of the way. I’m still hoping that your procedure would allow me to transfer all of the current visitors as well.

@Chris Carter - Re:

If by “visitors” you are referring to anyone accessing the board by the link, after you set the board’s Share setting to “Anyone with the link → Can view”, when you transfer a board between teams, the visitors/public access setting will remain unchanged (unless moving it to an Enterprise Plan subscription where the Company Admin as enabled a sharing policy to restrict  public access). So, when you move a board from the Free to Starter/Business Plan, visitors will still have access to the board – no “transfer of visitors” is required.

I have given access to the board from my free account to my paid account (I created the board in the wrong account - doh!)… yet, within the work account the, even after duplicating the board, it still says its on the free account?

How do I fully export/chaneg ownership of the board to the paid account?

thanks!

Hi,

I’m looking to do the same thing, the only difference is that I am connected with the same email for both accounts (so 1 email for both free and paying accounts). Is there any possibility to transfer/copy my boards from the free one to the paying account?

Thanks very much!

@Nevin - Board owner’s will have the Move to team action for a board and can move boards between team spaces of which they are members of (except if you are trying to move a board out of a paid Enterprise subscription and a Company Admin as blocked this action). However, there are no restrictions when moving boards from a Free Plan space.

And if you are not the owner of a board in a Free Plan space, you can duplicate any board and move the new duplicated board.
