It sounds like the question here may be similar to your other thread. If you upload a (normal, not shared) new file inside a team folder, it doesn't have an owner exactly. That is, it won't be individually listed in /sharing/list_folders. It's just an item inside the team folder that any other editor can modify. 

You can use the FileMetadata returned by /files/get_metadata or /files/list_folder or /files/list_revisions to see who last modified the file though (i.e., in file.sharing_info.modified_by).
