Know uploaded by user of a file and folder

The public Dropbox API doesn't return information about which user originally created a particular file, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Thanks for the information. Is there any forum where we can also file feature request? 

It would be useful to know the user who originally created file with public API as well. This information is available in dropbox UI.
