Though this is limited, as if you have folder A with 500 unique files, you still have to transfer ownership of *each file* in the folder to a person.
We just went through this with three staff leaving and was a horrible process. (with more than 500 files) Though we did find a work around of sharing the folder with some one -- which sets the premissions for all the enclosed files in the folder -- and then copying the folder and pasting it into the new owner's drive. We downloaded gdrive to do this on the desktop and into a SPA. Clunky but better than what is offered. I'd be interested if anyone knows of a better way. Supposedly there is supposed to be a "super administrator" that can transfer files over in mass.
