Converting terminated user's OneDrive into shared onedrive

Question

I have a user who has been terminated so I want to have control over his one drive, just like we convert a mailbox into a shared mailbox is there any similar thing to do with one drive? So that the manager of the terminated user gets access to the one-drive account. I want to do this using PowerShell.

Hi Yesh Rajawat, per my test, currently the Set-SPOUser cmdlet is support giving access to another user. Updates are also synchronized in SharePoint admin center.

You can run below cmdlet in SharePoint Online Management Shell:

# Connect to SharePoint Online
Connect-SPOService -URL https://domainname-admin.sharepoint.com

# Give new owner access to terminated user's OneDrive.
Set-SPOUser -Site https://domainname-my.sharepoint.com/personal/ownername_domainname_onmicrosoft_com -LoginName newowner
@domain.onmicrosoft.com -IsSiteCollectionAdmin $true

For more information you can refer to the documentation: How to Give OneDrive Access to Another User

Hello, Yesh

You can delegate OneDrive access by accessing your SharePoint admin center and navigating to the User profiles feature where you will grant a user access to the terminated user's OneDrive.
