3 years agomilankj As Здравко said, for shared files you can use /2/sharing/list_file_members[/continue] to list the members of a shared file and see which one is the owner.
If the file is not itself shared but is contained in a shared folder, you can use /2/sharing/list_folder_members[/continue] to list the members of the folder and see which one is the owner of the shared folder.

Actually list_file_members can be used for every file - including such not shared at all. In such a case will be just a single user - the owner (the account owner).
