Transfer file ownership
Keep your organization’s data by transferring file ownership when a member leaves your organization.
As the administrator of an organization, you can transfer files from one member to another to ensure files remain accessible to your organization.
Who can transfer files?
Only organization administrators can transfer file ownership between registered or deactivated members in their organization.
Organization members cannot transfer file ownership.
Files from non-registered or removed members cannot be transferred.
