Change owner of cloud document
A member of our team is leaving. The only way we can change ownership of her files is to have her download them and share them locally. This is fine and all but it breaks all the links to the document so I have to go into the various places we share the link, like JIRA, and add new links.
I would prefer that we could just change ownership of the file to another team member.

We announced CC Spaces in XD today at Adobe MAX! In a space, all members will share ownership of the document, which means people leaving an organization won’t impact your workflow. More details to come!

After a very frustrating 2-day run-around with live chat over this issue, I'm absolutely baffled that this is not a feature.
My current choices are:
a) Lose 3 years of version history across hundreds of projects, or
b) Spend several days of work time manually saving and archiving various versions saved locally, recreating shared links and more
Obviously it's going to be option B because I don't really have a choice but good lord please fix this Adobe. Save your customers some time with this simple, critical feature.

it's absurd that this is not a feature. adobe's lack of response on it is even more disturbing.

It's majorly inconvenient that this feature does not exist. I am very disappointed. :(

Please add this feature! Allowing editors to update shared links and any other permissions that the owner has should've been built in as part of the collaboration features.

This option would be quite appreciate. I've lost so many hours transferring an account of another lead designer.

By the time this feature gets added, is there any other way to transfer file ownerships? I too am leaving my company and linked shared from file I created need to remain same without me being there - can someone help?

My design lead is leaving and now I can't update links for the files he created. Now having to resave these files and now the links are changing? Transferring ownership needs to be created ASAP

It's a very necessary feature for teams to be able to transfer ownership (or have multiple owners) of XD files, libraries and design system

This is similar to the issue of updating links. I really hope this gets fixed before any other features come out. Otherwise, I have to persuade my team to switch to Figma like at my last company.

What a massive oversight for something so critical to design handoff. I have no way to transfer ownership to my team for design files? Am I being trolled?
This software is such a joke. One of the main reasons I got a new job is because my current company refuses to switch to Figma, and all XD provides me with is a new headache every time I open it. **** Adobe.

I've been facing this same issue right now. I want other employee to be the owner of the projects and I'm trying to come up with a solution like: having he downloading the cloud files locally and then saving it again. Just to see if anything changes. But we do NEED A SOLUTION for this ASAP.

We desperately need this for enterprise organizations where a design system is being built and there are FTE and Contractors working for the greater good of humanity.
