      <description>&lt;P&gt;How can I get the Owner name or email of a file that is shared with me using file id or file preview url.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am using .Net SDK.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This depends on what kind of sharing you're referring to.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If the file is in a shared folder that you are a member of, you can use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_Routes_SharingUserRoutes_ListFolderMembersAsync_1.htm" target="_self"&gt;ListFolderMembersAsync&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_Routes_SharingUserRoutes_ListFolderMembersContinueAsync.htm" target="_self"&gt;ListFolderMembersContinueAsync&lt;/A&gt; methods to get the list of members, and check which one is the owner.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If the file has been individually shared with you, you can use&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_Routes_SharingUserRoutes_GetFileMetadataAsync_1.htm" target="_self"&gt;GetFileMetadataAsync&lt;/A&gt; to get the metadata for the shared file, including the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/P_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_SharedFileMetadata_OwnerDisplayNames.htm" target="_self"&gt;OwnerDisplayNames&lt;/A&gt; if available.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have a shared link for a file, you can use&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_Routes_SharingUserRoutes_GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync_1.htm" target="_self"&gt;GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync&lt;/A&gt; to get the metadata for the shared link, including&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/P_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_SharedLinkMetadata_TeamMemberInfo.htm" target="_self"&gt;TeamMemberInfo&lt;/A&gt;, if the links owner's is a member of the same team.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/P_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_SharedFileMetadata_OwnerDisplayNames.htm" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer noopener noreferrer"&gt;OwnerDisplayNames&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;value can't always be fetched, though I don't have more specific information to share on when/why that is the case. I'll send this along to the team to ask to get this better documented though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;@Greg-DB&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Did you ever get clarification on why the OwnerDisplayNames field can't always be fetched?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;@Gred-DB&lt;BR /&gt;Is there any way to determine who owns/uploaded a file via the api? The best I can find is the owner of the shared folder, but I'm wondering if there is a way to see who uploaded a specific file.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1513287"&gt;@swively&lt;/a&gt; Shared folders themselves have owners (see earlier in the thread), but individual files inside shared folders do not. You can see you &lt;EM&gt;last &lt;/EM&gt;uploaded a file (i.e., the latest version of a file) via FileMetadata.sharing_info.modified_by though, e.g., as returned by &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;] or &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_metadata" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/get_metadata&lt;/A&gt; (or corresponding native methods in an SDK). You can also check the revision history for a particular file via &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_revisions" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_revisions&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
