Hi there, Show Me Shorts , let's jump right into this!
It sounds like you're part of a team, and you wish to change the ownership of some shared folders that your members own.
You can either sign into their account using their credentials, or sign in as each team member and use these steps, in order to achieve that. You should be able to visit each account's sharing page, in order to see all of their shared content.
If you decide to remove them from the team, you can always choose to transfer their files to another active member on the team. See more about that here.
If you have any questions, let me know!
