Discuss Dropbox Developer & API
while listing files from any folder (even root) i need to know the owner of the file. is there any way i can get that?
In such a case you're the only participant of the shared file currently. Your friend seems to left sharing of discussed file (intentionally or not) and that's why the file is ownerless. Such "mistakes" (if mistakes) are likely to bring up after file editing - some editors replace the edited file on save instead of update. Better share files as part of shared folder instead of individually - in such case probabilityfor unintentional unshare is less likely. Inform your friend about that.
actually when my friend checked his dropbox he can see 2 members, him (as owner) and me (as editor).But for me it only shows me as the editor.
My doubt is that when i open on any folder in my shared section. It automatically gets added to all files in my dropbox. The same doesnt happen for shared file. is that the reason?.
Also for a folder shared with me with editor permission, i am able to further share it with someone else. But the same is not possible with a shred file (editor).
