Hi! To transfer a droplet to another account, you will have to take a snapshot of it and transfer it to the new account and then create a new droplet off of it.
First, log in to your old account and take a snapshot of your droplet. Then, transfer the snapshot to your new account. This post explains how to do that. Finally, create a new droplet under your new account, making sure you choose the snapshot as the droplet’s image.
