How can I transfer ownership of my Dropbox account to someone else?

As club secretary, I created a dropbox account using the club gmail but account is in my name. My term as officer ends in 2025, how do I transfer ownership of this account to the new secretary?

Whoever owns the email address is the owner of the Dropbox account. Just change the name on your account and make sure the new owner has access to the email address and password for the account. They should change the password once they take control of the account.
