Transfer ownership of a workspace
Follow this guide to give a whole workspace to another Docly user. The new owner gets the workspace with all its folders and documents.
Updated: 25.10.2026 12:13 Make the new owner an administrator of the workspace
Only another administrator of the workspace can become its owner. Open the workspace, click "Share" and choose "Read- and write permission".
Click "Invite", enter the new owner's e-mail address under "Who", choose "Admin" and click "Write invitation" and then "Send invitation". If they are already an administrator, skip this step.
Open the workspace properties
Go to the workspace (the top folder) and open "Properties". Choose the "Admin" tab.
Only the owner of the workspace sees the transfer, and only on the workspace itself — a folder inside a workspace cannot be transferred on its own.
Click "Transfer ownership ..."
Choose the new owner under "Select new owner:". The list shows the other administrators of the workspace.
Click "Transfer" and confirm
Confirm that you want to transfer ownership. The transfer runs in the background and updates every folder and document in the workspace.
Handing over to a customer?
If the workspace is a solution you have built for a customer who should have their own subscription, use "Hand over to customer ..." on the same tab instead — see the guide "Hand over a workspace to a customer".
