Hi,

A user's GDrive data was mistakenly transferred to a user. I can transfer ownership of the folder but the files still show as the other owner. Is there a GAM command to bulk transfer ownership of the files?

I tried this but getting an error:

gam csv <path-to-your-csv-file> gam update drivefile id "~FileID" newowner "~NewOwnerEmail" transferownership true

Thanks

You're correct. The original poster was referencing an email from 17 months ago.
