How Do I Change the Owner of a Google Drive Folder?

You can change the owner of a Google Drive folder by transferring ownership to another user. This process gives the new owner full control over the folder, including the ability to edit, share, and delete its contents.

Here's how to do it:

1. Open the Google Drive folder you want to transfer ownership of.
2. Click the "Share" button in the top right corner.
3. Click the "Advanced" button in the bottom right corner of the sharing dialog box.
4. Click "Change owner".
5. Enter the email address of the person you want to make the new owner.
6. Click "Transfer ownership".

Important Note:

• The original owner will no longer have access to the folder after transferring ownership.
• Only the owner of a folder can change the ownership.

Example:

Let's say you want to transfer ownership of a folder named "Project Documents" to your colleague, John Doe. You would follow the steps above, entering John Doe's email address in step 5. Once you click "Transfer Ownership," John Doe will become the new owner of the "Project Documents" folder.
