Transfer ownership of a shared folder
How to transfer the ownership of a shared folder? I created and shared one, and want to leave all the files with my friend and disconnect myself from the folder. I want her to become the owner (the folder becoming a natural part of her OneDrive collection). How do I (or we) do that ?

I could really use this with transferring from one account to the next.

Totally agree. Understand the workaround, but it's clunky and clearly a workaround. I think it should be part of the tool. And, again, to point out that Google has this and MS doesn't. If there's a reason, that would be at least something.

Easiest for now is that your friend creates an own folder and then copies from your folder.
