May I know the reasons of this field to be absent? 

Is it possible that I am not an admin and using user api's so I can't access team details? Or there are other reason for not getting owner info?

mukund Unfortunately I don't have more specific information to share as to when 'owner_display_names' should or shouldn't be expected in the response. I'll send this along to the team to request more specific documentation on that, but I can't promise if/when that would be updated.

    I am having the same issue. This information is very important so that the user knows who shared the file with them. If there is another way to access such details for a shared file, please let me know, otherwise it would be good to see the owner details returned with the api response.

     

    Thanks for your help.

      mobilizer Thanks for the note! I don't have any updates or other solution to add here, but I'll follow up if/when I do.
