How to use team drives to transfer file ownership across domains 0 Recommended Answers 0 Replies 0 Upvotes

I have a large number of files in a Gsuite account that is being closed down by my former employer. I have backup copies of the data but would like to transfer ownership of certain files so that the document id is retained. The document id's have been hard coded into various places such as query statements in sheets, data sources and links within data studio, links in google sites etc.

I believe it is possible to transfer ownership using team drives, but have never done so. (https://www.tabgeeks.com/tabgeeks-blog/how-to-transfer-ownership-between-domains-in-google-drive)

It is the final step referred to in the link that I wonder about. Is it just moving files from Team drive to my drive?
