Even though I was the "owner" of the BOX, when I tried to add an owner and changed Mr. A to "Editor → Owner",
I'm in trouble because I became an editor and I can't return myself to the owner. How can I return myself to the owner?

    Hi there, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    Please be advised that this behavior is expected due to only the current owner may change the ownership of a folder in Box.

    Since you changed the permission of Mr. A from an Editor to Owner, in order to return the ownership of the folder back to you, Mr. A would have to change your permission from being an Editor to Owner. Check out this article for details: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196273-Managing-Collaborators#transferfolderowner

    If you have any questions, please let us know and we will help you!

    All the Best,
