Find out who owns a folder
Due to a mix up I have two folders named exactly the same on dropbox.
One folder I created/orginated, own and share with a group of people.
Another that another user created/originaled, owns and shares with the same group of people..
The are both there in my file tree (I work online rather than on my desktop) and I can't tell which is "mine" and which is theirs.
Ideally I would like to just delete mine and keep the other one. Thus making only one version of this folder shared with everyone.
How do I identify the owner of the folders?
If I delete my version will it disappear for all the other people who share/edit that folder automatically?
(If not then I could just rename it to "DELETE ME" and then everyone would know.)
Any help would be most appreciated.
Hey dfod, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
You can determine the owner of a shared folder by following these steps, but you should also be able to tell which folder is a shared folder and which one isn't by their icons on our website.
I hope this helps!
