What is the resolution for this? I am having the same issue.


I figured it out, for those of you looking for solutions my problem was this.


 


Restrict Ownership Transfer


Determines whether non-admins can transfer ownership of a file or folder to external collaborators and move a file or folder owned by your enterprise to a folder owned by an external account. Select this option to prevent ownership transfer of a file or folder to external collaborators.


Admin and co-admins of your account will still be able to transfer ownership to external collaborators.


The default state is cleared.


 


I was impersonating a user trying to transfer ownership to another user account. I was able to transfer to a co-admin account and transfer a second time to my final owner.
