Hi, I want to call api to change ownership of file but I saw only editor and viewer option, suppose I assign someone as editor using api and then i delete file from my folder then it will delete from others account too.

 

Is there any other way to tackle this situation

Hi @Piyush Jaiswal 👋 Welcome to Box community!

Only the current owner of a file/folder can transfer ownership of the content. If you’re the current owner, you can move the file to a folder that you wish to transfer the ownership to. Afterwards, please follow this developer guide on how to Change Folder Owner.

Same goes with file/folder ownership in your Box account. You can refer to this article about Transferring Folder Ownership.

Thanks and have a great day! 🌻
