# Send to account

The **Send to account** option allows you to copy or move images between different DPG accounts. This can be useful if you're a user of multiple accounts, such as an event and a personal account. Sending images to an account is faster than uploading them and preserves any added information such as keywords.

> 💡 **Tip:** This option will only show in your sidebar if you are added as a user or admin to more than one account.

Select the images to send to another account. Open the **Send to account** panel and select the account to send the images to. Click **Send**. 

> 💡 **Tip:** By default when sending to an account images are **copied** across. A copy of the file is created in the chosen account and the original remains in the original account. You can choose to **move** the images instead by selecting **Move** under Advanced Options, see below.

#### Advanced options: Method

**Copy** - A copy of the selected images is made in the chosen account. Selected images stay in the original account. 

**Move** - The selected images are moved from the original account into the chosen account. Selected images are deleted from the original account.
