Hi, Ross.

I tried a command gam user adrianh...@abc.com transfer ownership 1p5Hzc5w55sMLQxHl1t6qKxiQYIKPXpQB tkul...@abc.com.
However all the files listed under this folder have been transferred but subfolders and files within it are still owned by the source user.

I would appreciate If you can share t a correct command

Send me a private Meet/Zoom invitation and we'll investigate.
