Transfer owned folders
Move all of the items owned by a user into a new folder in another user’s account.
Only the root folder (0) can be transferred.
Folders can only be moved across users by users with administrative permissions.
This call will be performed synchronously which might lead to a slow response when the source user has a large number of items in all of its folders.
If the destination path has a metadata cascade policy attached to any of the parent folders, a metadata cascade operation will be kicked off asynchronously.
There is currently no way to check for when this operation is finished.
The destination folder's name will be in the format {User}'s Files and Folders, where {User} is the display name of the user.
To make this API call your application will need to have the "Read and write all files and folders stored in Box" scope enabled.
