Hello, I have a question about the fees that are incurred during file ownership transfers.

● Question

I tested transferring ownership of files from a “free account” to a “paid account”, but the “paid account” has a new monthly charge.

However, I do not want to make any more mistakes in testing again,

Can you please tell me the correct official “how to transfer ownership without incurring extra charges”?

● Accounts I use, 2 types in total

A, a free account for personal use.

B, paid account for company use. (professional plan, annual subscription already paid)

● Operation performed this time

1. Create a test file for the free account.


2. Send the file to a paid account for sharing with “read-only” permissions.


3. Accept file invitations with a paid account.


4. On the free account, change the paid account’s permissions to “Owner”.


5. The free account automatically switches to “Editor” by the operation in #4 above.


6. On the free account, move the above file to “Draft”.


7. On the paid account, move the received file to the “Team Project with Pro Plan Paid”.


8. Over

I suspect that perhaps i moved the file to a “paid team project” while the account that became the editor remained in place, thus incurring a new charge.
