How to get list of shared files owned by my account

Hi there,   I would like to get a list of files/folders that I own and have shared with someone else, but I've noticed in the list_folder command from the REST API that it doesn't seem to return in...

Unfortunately there isn't a direct way to list all shared files/folders that the connected account specifically owns only. There are a few different types of sharing on Dropbox, so for reference I recommend reading the Sharing Guide if you haven't already.

 

The check the members/owner of a shared folder, you would use /2/sharing/list_folder_members[/continue]. To list the members/owner of a shared file, you would use /2/sharing/list_file_members[/continue]. To list the shared links, you would use /2/sharing/list_shared_links.
