Make 'admin' account co-owner of ALL folders on account

Hi all,

I am configuring a backup solution for a customer (1-way download to Synology NAS).

Unfortunately, when the account was created, no master 'root' folder was created, therefore the approx. 60 folders all have different owners etc.

I have created a master 'root' folder and I intend to Move all of the other folders into this 'root' folder, therefore everything in the root folder (and subsequent folders created) will be backed up to the NAS as they will be child folders of which the admin account is co-owner of.

THE PROBLEM:

Until I manually go into the admin console and manually add the admin user as 'co owner' of all these folders, I cannot move them. To do this manually is quite time consuming.

Is there a way to make this admin user co-owner of ALL current folders on the account?

No problem if not, however it would save a lot of time!

Thank you.

Hi Admin,

Welcome to the Box Community!

There is currently no option to add a co-owner on multiple folders at once in the Admin console. You can check and post in our Platform and Developer forum to see if this is possible via API.

Thanks for posting and let us know how else we can help!
