Recipe Transfer File Ownership
This handles the admin task of moving Google Drive file ownership from one user to another, which comes up when employees leave or change roles. It's a two-step process: first you list all files owned by the original user, then you transfer them one by one to the new owner using the Drive permissions API. The caution here is real: once you transfer ownership, you can't reverse it unless the new owner cooperates, so double-check your file IDs before running the second command. You'll need the gws-drive skill and the gws binary installed. It's straightforward but unforgiving, so treat it like any other irreversible admin operation.
