Yes, you are correct, I am using GAM-XTD3 for this. Apologies for that missing information.  

Is the folder ID simply the URL to the folder, or is there something more specific than that?

I'm assuming advanced gam.

$> gam user curren...@example.com transfer ownership <The folder ID Here> new...@example.com

This will leave the folder where it was and the original owner will still have access rights, you may wish to change that.

Hello everyone,

Hoping to get some insight regarding formatting a GAM command for my specific scenario. 

We've been requested to transfer the ownership of all files for a specific user within a single shared folder on Google Drive, without moving the files outside of the shared folder. Additionally, there are other users with files within this folder who should not be touched.

I believe we should be using the transfer ownership or transfer drive ownership command, but I am not sure how to specify the folder I want to run the command across, or who I want to give ownership too. When looking into the transfer ownership command, I am unsure on finding the Shared folder's ID, or what is needed for the [select <DriveFileEntity>] option to function correctly.  Additionally, I do not see an option for selecting who is specified as the new owner. 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
