Hi Snehal,
Welcome to the Box Community!
If you are looking to transfer the ownership of your folders to someone else, you may follow the steps in this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196273-Managing-Collaborators#transferfolderowner
A few important reminders before performing the steps in this article:
- Files and folders owned by the user are inaccessible while they are being transferred. This means that during the move, any shared content owned by the user is inaccessible to all collaborators, thus we recommend performing the transfer after business hours.
- The process of transferring content can take some time to complete, depending on the amount of content your user owns. The more content you own, the longer it may take to complete.
- Box does not perform transfers as one single action. Instead, Box chunks a transfer into smaller pieces and then schedules each piece of work separately. As a result, portions of the folder tree display gradually at the destination, until the entire transfer completes. If the current owner has a large amount of content to transfer, we recommend performing the transfer after business hours.
Thanks for reaching out and let us know if you have any questions!
