Hello @mth14 ,

Droplets cannot be directly transferred across Teams or Accounts. You can take a Snapshot of the Droplet, which can be transferred between Teams. This can be done via your DigitalOcean Cloud Control Panel. Here is a list of steps you’d need to take to accomplish the transfer:

  1. Navigate to the Images page (https://cloud.digitalocean.com/images) on the control panel, and locate the Snapshot you would like to transfer.
  2. Select the icon called More -> Change owner, choose a team to move it to.
  3. Click the Transfer Snapshot button. When a member of the team logs in, they will see a notification on their Images page (https://cloud.digitalocean.com/images) that they have a Pending Snapshot Transfer Request.

From there, either an Owner or Member of the team can either accept or deny the transfer. You can read more on this here: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/images/snapshots/how-to/change-owners/

Hope this helps!

Cheers, Lalitha

Is there still no way to directly change ownership of a project? We wouldn’t have created a team in the first place if it had been clear that team members would not have access to the projects owned by the primary account.

Is this still not possible in 2023?
