The typical way to āmoveā a Droplet is to take a snapshot of it, then transfer the snapshot to the other organization and create a new Droplet from it:

You canāt directly transfer a Droplet to another user, but you can transfer a snapshot of a Droplet. The recipient of the snapshot can recreate the Droplet from the snapshot.
When you transfer a snapshot, the snapshot is no longer available on its original team, but the Droplet that the snapshot is based on is unaffected.
