Onshape Team Housekeeping

This is only our third year using Onshape, but our team area is already cluttered and disorganized, with a LOT of random files in just the top directory. I created folders and then found I could only move MY documents to MY folders. I am an admin of the group, but this is still the case. There is an account used to originally create the group that is generic to the team, but I’m not sure anyone uses it currently… If I get access to that team-creating account, will I be able to move documents not owned by me? Or am I sort of stuck unless I can get all document owners (including people who graduated two years ago) to transfer ownership or move the documents themselves? I’d prefer to just quickly do the housekeeping… If I could freely move things around, it would take less than an hour probably. Thanks, and any other tips on this topic are also appreciated. --Chris

Someone from the onshape team would likely be a better person to ask (onshape support is actually quite good in my experience), but here is what I think:

I believe onshape documents and folder ownership can only be done by the owners of those documents, which means you will need access to that account unless you want to remake the team.

If you can’t get the account, all documents for educational accounts are public, so if you make a new team you can easily copy those documents to your account in a folder owned by you and the new team. They won’t be the originals but will be complete carbon copies. That would be my suggestion if you are unable to get into the owner account.
