Dear Team,
We are trying to change the drive owner because one of the users has left the organization but he is the owner of multiple shared drives so before deleting his account we want to transfer the shared drive ownership to another user in the organization.
Kindly help to achieve this query.
Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.
Thanks & Regards,

Correction: the command line should say "~email" not "~owner"
