If you have a personal OneDrive account and a Drexel OneDrive account, you can have both accounts on the same computer, and transfer files and folders from one account to the other on the same computer.

Make sure you install One-Drive on your computer and set it up for your Drexel OneDrive (part of Office 365) account first.

The webpages below will tell you how to do this.
