There are several reasons why you might want to transfer ownership of a Google Drive file. Perhaps you've completed a project and want to free up space in your Drive, or maybe you've finished your part in a collaborative effort and believe it's time to hand over control.

Whatever the reason, transferring ownership can be a simple way to streamline your Google Drive usage. But it can quickly feel quite technical. No need to worry though, because in this guide, you will learn the steps to transferring ownership easily.
