Hello,

I am attempting to transfer ownership of a folder but continue to receive an error

 

"There was a problem while trying to transfer item ownership to xx"

 

this happens when I try to transfer ownership only, and doesn't happen if I change roles to co-owner.

    Hello,

    This issue can be frustrating. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve it:

    Check Permissions: Ensure the recipient has the necessary permissions to accept ownership.
    Reduce Item Count: If the folder contains many items, try transferring ownership of fewer items at a time.
    Clear Cache and Cookies: Sometimes, clearing your browser’s cache and cookies can help.
    Use a Different Browser: Try using a different browser to see if the issue persists. Official Site
    Contact Support: If none of these steps work, reaching out to Box Support might be necessary.
    Hopefully, one of these solutions will work for you.

     

    Need help with anything else

    Best regards
