📤Transferring spatial data
Overview
You can transfer ownership of a Layer to another user.
Ownership transfer moves full control of the layer, including administrative rights and associated storage responsibility, to the new owner.
How to transfer ownership
To transfer a layer:
Open the layer settings
Navigate to the General tab
Go to the Danger Zone section
Click Transfer ownership
Select the target username and confirm the transfer
What happens after transfer
Once a transfer is initiated:
The recipient receives a notification with a request to accept ownership
Ownership is only transferred after acceptance
After acceptance, full administrative rights are moved to the new owner
Storage responsibility is transferred accordingly
Alternative: transferring via folder ownership
If you have administrative access to a folder owned by another user, you can also transfer ownership by moving layers into that folder.
In this case:
ownership follows the destination folder
storage responsibility is reassigned accordingly
Important considerations
The Danger Zone contains irreversible actions such as ownership transfer and deletion. These actions permanently change ownership or remove data and require explicit confirmation.
Outside of the Danger Zone, changes within Ellipsis Drive are versioned and can be reviewed or reverted where applicable.
If an ownership transfer was completed in error, please contact support for assistance.
