Change the owner of a folder

Updated

  • Edit, delete, and share files or subfolders
  • Invite or remove members
  • Delete the entire folder

If needed, you can change the owner of the folder. After the change:

  • The new owner is notified of the change.
  • Your role changes to Manager; you can still edit, share, and delete content, but can no longer delete the folder.
