Change onedrive accounts
If you have the space, your best, and probably easiest way is to sync both accounts to your PC. Move the files over, let it sync up done. But this would require a 2+TB free disk space.
Other ways could be to use explorer view to move the files from one to the other but you'll want to do them in smaller batches incase there are issues during move.You can access that by using Internet Explorer and in the view drop down in the top right is open in explorer, navigate to both onedrives in IE and open these, then you will have both open you can drag and drop files between them. Again, Do in smaller batches by folder(s).
Another option is using a migration tool such as the SharePoint migration tool, but I'm not 100% sure that can go onedrive to onedrive, so probably not best option to mess with :P
- SharePoint Migration Tool will only help here if he download all the content from his "old" ODFB and migrate the downloaded content to the new ODFB....and he will need also the 2 TB of free space to do the migration what I see can be a problem.
- Hi,
Would recommend BitTitan and automate the OneDrive for Business to OneDrive for Business migration

Licence is relatively cheap: around £20/$30 I think. Have used this several times.
Best, Chris- Mmm....I would recommend to review the cost of Bittitan...If I remember well, the amount they charge is related to the volume of data you want to move
