Transfer of ownership
In Nextcloud, there is a new feature that allows you to transfer files and folders to other Sciebo users of the same institution. This can be useful,
for example, if you want to transfer data from your personal account to a project box.
This function can be found under the menu entry Settings/Share/Files. There, the data to be transferred can be selected. In the next step, the ID
of the account to which these data are to be transferred is selected. If this is confirmed, the person who has access to this account will receive a
notification (Web interface: bell symbol) asking them to approve or reject the transfer. After accepting the transfer of ownership, a background process
is started for the transfer. According to Nextcloud, this can take up to an hour. The data are physically transferred from one account to that of the
recipient, and the new owner thus has full control. After the transfer, the data will end up in a separate folder Transfer... and can be moved to the
appropriate location if necessary.
Eventual shares will be transferred as well.
