team member name of a file
Hi, i have a shared folder with 3 users, How do i obtain the name of the user who uploads a file in the shared folder. Does the file inside the shared folder contains any attribute about the user or...
Hi, i have fixed it, i tried it with Metadata instead of FileMetadata and that was the problem. This worked without any errors.
FileMetadata filemetadata = (FileMetadata)client.files().getMetadata(metadata.getPathLower()); FileSharingInfo fileSharingInfo = filemetadata.getSharingInfo(); fileSharingInfo.getModifiedBy();

Dropbox StaffYes, when you get the FileMetadata for a file, e.g., in the response from DbxUserFilesRequests.listFolder/listFolderContinue, you can use FileMetadata.getSharingInfo to get the FileSharingInfo. On that, you can use FileSharingInfo.getModifiedBy to get the account ID of the user that modified it. You can then use getAccount to get more information about that user if necessary.
Hi, I m able to get the shared folders and files with listFolderBuilder and listFolderContinue. This is my code
DbxRequestConfig config = new DbxRequestConfig("dropbox/java-tutorial", "en_US");
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, ACCESS_TOKEN);
ListFolderResultresult=client.files().listFolderBuilder("").withIncludeDeleted(true).withRecursive(true).start();
while (true)
{
for (Metadata metadata : result.getEntries())
{
System.out.println(metadata.getPathLower()+"\t"+metadata.getName());
}
if (!result.getHasMore()) {
break;
}
result = client.files().listFolderContinue(result.getCursor());
}
this returns a json data from where i can retrieve id, name, path etc.

I'm stuck how to get the sharing_info, i tried using
FileSharingInfo data = metadata.getSharingInfo(); data.getModifiedBy();
But it doesn't work. What am i missing here ?
