How to Transfer Google Slides to Another Account
Follow this interactive demo to learn how to transfer your Google Slides to another account.
📌 Why this matters
Transferring ownership moves files completely out of your Google account, which is essential when leaving a job or handing off projects permanently. Unlike sharing with edit permissions, ownership transfer ensures the file won't disappear if your original account gets deactivated or loses access. The new owner gains full control over sharing settings and can even remove your access entirely. This becomes critical for maintaining business continuity when team members change roles or when client work needs to live independently of your personal workspace.
