Transferring folder ownership

You can request a transfer of ownership for any folders that you own. Remember the following:

• Transferring a folder automatically transfers ownership of all the files in that folder.

• Transfers remove ownership from you and grant it to a user that you specify.

• The specified user must accept ownership. You retain ownership until the other user accepts.

Note

System administrators can transfer an inactive user's files and folders to an active user. For more information, see Transferring document ownership in the Amazon WorkDocs Administration Guide.

To transfer ownership folders

1. Use the credentials provided by your administrator to log in to the Amazon WorkDocs web client.

2. On your My Docs page, select the check box next to the folder that you want to transfer.

   Note

   Don't select the folder name. Doing so opens the folder in Preview mode and disables the Transfer command. Just select the check boxes.

3. Open the Actions list and choose Transfer.

   The Transfer Resource Ownership dialog box appears.

4. In the search box, enter the name of the new owner. If the search returns multiple names, choose the correct recipient.

5. Choose Transfer.

The new owner receives a task under My Tasks in Amazon WorkDocs. After the new owner accepts the files, they appear on that owner's My Docs page.
