Does changing a folder&#8217;s ownership automatically change the ownership of its subfolders and files?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A. No, the ownership change does not automatically propagate down to subfolders. To change the ownership of subfolders and files, you must use the &#8220;Apply permission change to this folder (recursive)&#8221; option within GAT+.#<\/p>\n<p><b>Q. What should I be aware of when using the &#8220;Move file&#8221; option?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A. When you choose to &#8220;Move file,&#8221; inherited permissions can be lost in the process. Additionally, if a file has multiple parent folders, they will be reduced to just one. This change is irreversible.<\/p>\n<p><b>Q. What happens to the old owner&#8217;s permissions after the ownership is changed?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A. By default, when ownership is transferred, the previous owner is automatically added as an additional contributor to the folder and its contents. If you want to deny them access completely, you must select the <b>Deny access for old owner<\/b> option during the transfer process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ownership Change Explained in Google Drive With GAT Unlock Are you considering changing the ownership of folders for any user within your Google Workspace Google Drive?
