The same way you would under any other circumstance. Dropbox doesn't control this or have anything to do with the process. The Dropbox folder is just a folder like any other.
Make sure you're signed in as an admin or have admin rights for the UAC prompt. Change the owner and check the box to replace owner on all subcontainers and objects. In the Permissions section, make sure you're listed with Full Control and check the box to replace all child object permissions, then click Apply.
If that doesn't work, I'd reach out to your IT team and ask for assistance.
