Transfer my content from old account to new

pkdmepkdme
Hi,
This is my old account, and its has lot of content. I have another new zotero account, to which I want to transfer all the content. How can I do it?. I have all things sync locally available. Is there any possible way to do it apart from the tedious way of exporting and importing things.
Can I use my local stored zotero folder to link to new account. But it always give me error

"This Zotero database was last synced with a different account (“pkdme”) from the one you are attempting to sync with (“priyu.research”). If you continue, all Zotero libraries associated with the “pkdme” account will be removed from this computer.

Before continuing, make sure all data and files you wish to keep have been synced with the “pkdme” account or you have a backup of your Zotero data directory."


Thanks

    Can you start by saying why you want to do that? There's rarely a reason to.

    The only available options are export/import or a group, but neither is without downsides

    Same here. My computer is second-hand and still has the previous owner's account logged in. Everything looks brand new and since I've only been using offline features, I never noticed. I only found out I was logged into someone else's account when I tried to cloud sync to another computer. Now I can't transfer the content from that account to my own.

    @Anbaobao: Unfortunately your only option in that case would be to export the library as Zotero RDF with files and reimport into the other account.

    (You'd always want to create a new OS user account when taking over someone else's computer — as would the person transferring it. They should've created a new account and deleted theirs before handing it over.)
