To transfer ownership of files in Google Workspace, you must have the appropriate permissions as the current owner. Here are the steps to transfer ownership:
- Sign in to your Google Workspace account and go to Google Drive.
- Locate the file or folder that you want to transfer ownership of.
- Right-click on the file or folder and select "Share" from the menu.
- In the "Share with others" window, enter the email address of the person you want to transfer ownership to in the "People" field.
- Click on the "Advanced" link in the bottom right corner of the window.
- In the "Advanced" window, click on the drop-down arrow next to the current owner's name.
- Select the new owner's name from the list of available options.
- Check the box next to "Notify people" if you want to notify the new owner of the transfer.
- Click on the "Send" button to complete the transfer.
Note that when you transfer ownership, the new owner will become the primary owner of the file or folder, and the previous owner will lose ownership privileges. Additionally, any shared access or permissions on the file or folder will remain unchanged.
