VBA Code to list dropbox folder ownership
I have to transfer the files of several coworkers from Dropbox to Onedrive. Many of these folders are being shared among themseleves. So, the folders to be transferred from each person's account should be those folders owned by each person. This way, after transferring the files, each person will be able to re-share their folders. Is there anyway I can build a vba module in Excel to make a list of Dropbox folders that includes whos the owner?
