Comment on The Dropbox Shared Folder API Betaparent

Comments

Thanks, I think your second answers covers my use cases. Let me explain them:

Currently, file's metadata has no ownership information. If I see it in my files or my deltas, it could be because either I created or somebody else created them in a shared folder or somebody else shared a folder with me and i accepted.

In other words, if user X adds a file to a shared a folder with user Y, when User Y requests for deltas from the API, I cant tell if the User Y is the creater of these files.

It looks like Id be able navigate the revision to figure out who created the file. or who placed it in the shared folder, so this api is certainly a welcome addition
