Research direction

Start with the SupabaseClient and storage.objects references in the issue, then review storage-api issue #65 to understand the existing ownership cleanup behavior. Define the admin or server-side transfer behavior and verify that ownership changes to the selected user without weakening access controls.

Description

enhancement

I've been searching for a way to change the owner of a file in storage.objects from the SupabaseClient and can't find a way. The closest solution I found was to make it null after the user is deleted (via https://github.com/supabase/storage-api/issues/65).

I would like the ability for an admin user to change / transfer the ownership of a file to another user, or handle that operation pn the server.
