Gmail Document Transfer: how-to

If you have documents in one gmail account, and want them to appear in someone else's gmail account instead of yours, you can transfer ownership of the documents by:

• Login to your gmail account
• Click Documents in the upper left-hand corner
• Click the check-box next to all documents you want to transfer to your other gmail account (er...I mean to someone else's gmail account...)
• Click the "More Actions" tab on the right side of the blue navigation bar, scroll down down and click "change owner"
• A box will pop up and ask you to select the NEW OWNER of these documents (You can choose from your contacts)
• Click CHANGE OWNER
• It will take a moment to load. Be Patient. You can tell it's loading because you will see a red tab at the upper right of the screen that says "Loading...."
• When it's done, your Google Docs page will be the same as before, except the documents you transferred will all be at the top of the page with check-marks next to them.
• At this point you can do nothing, and they will stay in your Google Docs folder, even though someone else is the owner. You will be a collaborator, which means you can edit them, but the owner will see all your changes.
• You can also delete them if you no longer need access, without taking them away from the owner. To do this, Click "Delete" in the blue navigation bar (it has a picture of a trash can next to it). You're done!
