For a while I've been making models/drawings for somebody else as they were not particularly cad literate. Now they are starting to learn,with my help, and have there own account here in onShape. I would like to transfer all of everything I drew for them over to their account. How do I do that? I've looked at import export files and it doesn't seem to be want I need. Both accounts are hobbyist
Thanks

Simply share the document and make them owner and then remove yourself from share. This is how it can be done within pro accounts but I suppose it works on free scene too?//rami5

When sharing, choose participant as owner. Then remove yourself from share or ask new owner to change your role.//rami5

"Owner" is not one of the options. Is that because I am trying to share from an educational account to a non-professional account?0

That’s because that screenshot is 4 years old. To do it now, right-click the doc on the docs page and “transfer ownership”Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEA0

Hi. Is there a way to share an entire folder rather than sharing documents individually? Thanks.1
