Transfer Ownership
==================
Users can transfer the ownership of files and folders to other users. Sharing
ownerships of those transferred files/folders will also be transferred.
#. Navigate to *Settings* (top-right menu) > *Sharing*.
#. In the *Files* section, click on *Choose file or folder to transfer*. A file picker opens, showing all files and folders in the user's account.
#. Pick a file or folder and click on *Choose*. The chosen file or folder name gets displayed.
#. Click on *Change* to change the choice if necessary.
#. Pick a new owner by typing their name into the search field next to *New owner*.
#. Click on *Transfer*.
.. note:: The username autocompletion or listing may be limited due to administrative visibility configuration.
See `administrator documentation <https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/file_sharing_configuration.html>`_ for details.
