A new folder I created says it doesn't have an owner when I try to share it

Yes, I am able to share a copy of the file. I appreciate your help, but I'd like to understand why a brand new folder created by me when I am logged in is not automatically "owned" by me ??? Am I going to need to go through this process of creating a copy of a new folder every time I want to create a new folder in order to ensure I am the "owner" of all folders? This doesn't make much sense to me.

Hey DonnetteD, let me jump in here!
Was that a one-time situation, or do you still notice the same behavior when you create a brand new folder, and try to share it?
Can you create a new folder, and then try to share it without copying it? I'm wondering if this was a fluke or if it's consistently happening with all of your newly created folders.
