Agreed. I'm a new user and having some trouble figuring this out.

I'm not sure how much development is going on here... you might want to check out GAM...

Its a lot more than just recursive ownership, but one of the branches does include a recursive ownership command... hopefully it wll be integrated into the main one soon but I've been using it without problem.

It has a "transfer" command to transfer files and folders, and it also has a "claim" command to ensure that anything inside a partiular folder is automatically "re-owned" by a specific user. This is very useful in some scenarios and I'm really surprised more tools dont incporate similar level of ACL and Granular permission controls in gapps... its mind boggling from someone coming from a "file share" environemnt... (Plus it tends to become a complete mess when anyone stores any document in any folder they want...yikes...)

anyways here is the fork you want: https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki (manual) and the fork that includes claim and transfer: https://github.com/lerklompen/GAM

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, my usage case is a little different; I'm a regular ol' user trying to export his stuff before he leaves. That tool is nice, but seems to require admin rights on the domain. Looks like a much better alternative for most users of this program, though.
