Hi, we would like to change owner to a dropbox. But we only receive the answer that only the current owner can change the rights. But the current owner does never log into dropbox. How can we do?

If you're referring to a shared folder, only the current owner of a shared folder can transfer ownership to another member. There's no other way. If the current owner is unable or unwilling to sign in to transfer ownership, you would need to create a new folder, move the files to it and then share the folder with everyone that needs it.
