You may have a variety of reasons to transfer ownership of Dropbox files and folders. If you are doing this because you are leaving Carleton, be aware that there is a one time opportunity for an ITS Dropbox Administrator to assign ALL files and folders to a different team member's Dropbox account. (In cases like this, there are some files which cannot be transferred.).
- Hover over the folder you’d like to transfer ownership for and click the three vertical dots (more options).
- Select Manage Permissions.
- Select the dropdown arrow next to the person you’d like to make the owner and select Make Owner.
Note: you cannot assign ownership of a folder you do not own; this includes Team folders.
For more details, see Transferring ownership of Dropbox folders.
If a folder is owned by CarlFileKeeper and you believe you should be the owner, please submit a ticket.
