To change the owner of a folder, first invite the user you wish to
transfer the folder to as a collaborator on the folder.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "item": {
           "type": "file",
           "id": "11446498"
         },
         "accessible_by": {
           "type": "user",
           "login": "user@example.com"
         },
         "role": "editor"
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.userCollaborations.createCollaboration({
    item: {
      type: 'folder' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField,
      id: folder.id,
    } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField,
    accessibleBy: {
      type: 'user' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField,
      id: user.id,
    } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField,
    role: 'editor' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField,
  } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBody);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.user_collaborations.create_collaboration(
      CreateCollaborationItem(type=CreateCollaborationItemTypeField.FOLDER, id=folder.id),
      CreateCollaborationAccessibleBy(
          type=CreateCollaborationAccessibleByTypeField.USER, id=user.id
      ),
      CreateCollaborationRole.EDITOR,
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.UserCollaborations.CreateCollaborationAsync(requestBody: new CreateCollaborationRequestBody(item: new CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField() { Type = CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField.Folder, Id = folder.Id }, accessibleBy: new CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField(type: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField.User) { Id = user.Id }, role: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField.Editor));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.userCollaborations.createCollaboration(requestBody: CreateCollaborationRequestBody(item: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField(type: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField.folder, id: folder.id), accessibleBy: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField(type: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField.user, id: user.id), role: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField.editor))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getUserCollaborations().createCollaboration(new CreateCollaborationRequestBody(new CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField.Builder().type(CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField.FOLDER).id(folder.getId()).build(), new CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField.Builder(CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField.USER).id(user.getId()).build(), CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField.EDITOR))
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  BoxCollaborator user = new BoxUser(api, "user-id")
  BoxFolder folder = new BoxFolder(api, "folder-id");
  folder.collaborate(user, BoxCollaboration.Role.EDITOR);
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  from boxsdk.object.collaboration import CollaborationRole

  user = client.user(user_id='11111')
  collaboration = client.folder(folder_id='22222').collaborate(user, CollaborationRole.VIEWER)

  collaborator = collaboration.accessible_by
  item = collaboration.item
  has_accepted = 'has' if collaboration.status == 'accepted' else 'has not'
  print(f'{collaborator.name} {has_accepted} accepted the collaboration to folder "{item.name}"')
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  // collaborate folder 11111 with user 22222
  BoxCollaborationRequest requestParams = new BoxCollaborationRequest()
  {
      Item = new BoxRequestEntity()
      {
          Type = BoxType.folder,
          Id = "11111"
      },
      Role = "editor",
      AccessibleBy = new BoxCollaborationUserRequest()
      {
          Type = BoxType.user,
          Id = "22222"
      }
  };
  BoxCollaboration collab = await client.CollaborationsManager.AddCollaborationAsync(requestParams);
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  // Invite user 123456 to collaborate on folder 987654
  client.collaborations.createWithUserID('123456', '987654', client.collaborationRoles.EDITOR)
  	.then(collaboration => {
  		/* collaboration -> {
  			type: 'collaboration',
  			id: '11111',
  			created_by: 
  			{ type: 'user',
  				id: '22222',
  				name: 'Inviting User',
  				login: 'inviter@example.com' },
  			created_at: '2016-11-16T21:33:31-08:00',
  			modified_at: '2016-11-16T21:33:31-08:00',
  			expires_at: null,
  			status: 'accepted',
  			accessible_by: 
  			{ type: 'user',
  				id: '123456',
  				name: 'Collaborator User',
  				login: 'collaborator@example.com' },
  			role: 'editor',
  			acknowledged_at: '2016-11-16T21:33:31-08:00',
  			item: 
  			{ type: 'folder',

  				sequence_id: '0',
  				etag: '0',
  				name: 'Collaborated Folder' } }
  		*/
  	});
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Then, update the created collaboration by changing the role of
that invited user to `owner`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X PUT https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations/1234 \
      -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
      -H "content-type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "role": "owner"
      }'
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  BoxCollaborationRequest requestParams = new BoxCollaborationRequest()
  {
      Id = "12345",
      Role = "owner"
  };
  BoxCollaboration collab = await client.CollaborationsManager.EditCollaborationAsync(requestParams);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  Collection<BoxCollaboration.Info> pendingCollaborations = BoxCollaboration.getPendingCollaborations(api);
  for (BoxCollaboration.Info collabInfo : pendingCollaborations) {
      collabInfo.setRole(BoxCollaboration.Role.OWNER);
      collabInfo.getResource().updateInfo(collabInfo);
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from boxsdk.object.collaboration import CollaborationRole, CollaborationStatus

  collaboration = client.collaboration(collab_id='12345')
  updated_collaboration = collaboration.update_info(CollaborationRole.OWNER)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.collaborations.update('12345', {role: client.collaborationRoles.OWNER})
      .then(collaboration => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Depending on the settings, a user with access to a folder might be able to
  invite other users, yet in all cases only the current owner of a folder can
  transfer the ownership.
