Transferring Ownership of Content in Box
To transfer ownership of content in Box, you must make one of your collaborators the new owner of its parent folder. You cannot transfer ownership of individual files in Box. Each Box folder can only have one official Owner. When you transfer ownership to someone else, you become an Editor on the folder.
Additional Notes:
- If the person you are transferring ownership to isn’t a collaborator on the folder already, you’ll have to invite them to the folder first.
- When you transfer ownership of a folder, you are also transferring ownership of all of its contents (subfolders and files).
- If the item isn’t in a folder, or if it is in a folder with other items that you do NOT want to transfer, create a new folder, put the item in it, then transfer that new folder.
