Box Status

Using Java SDK to dermine if a folder is a collaboration or not?

Hi,

 

I am using the Box Java SDK to access the files and folders of a box user.

 

My question is, if it is possible to determine of a folder is a "real" folder in the folder hierarchy of this user or if it is a collaboration and actually exists in the folder hierarchy of another user.

 

I have the idea to compare the folders owner or creator with the user I am processing, but I am not sure if that is the right way and if yes, if I should take the owner or the creator. But maybe there is a better way?

 

Greetings,

Pascal

    Hi Pascal,

     

    Can you help us understand your use case of why the app needs to know this?

     

    Thanks!

    Hi,

     

    the app tries to get all files from an enterprise and uses the "as-user" header to access the root folders of all the users. For that we use the Box Java SDK. The problem is that a folder that is shared (collaboration) occurs in the folder hierarchy of multiple users and I see no way to distinguish a "real" folder from a collaboration folder.

     

    In the moment I assume that the owner of a folder is the user where the folder really is and therefore if the owner is not the user we currently are using (with the "as-user" header) than the folder is a collaboration and can be ignored. This seems to work.

    This is correct. The owner is always going to be the only non-collaborator, and the owner's file tree is the canonical location of the file. Everyone else is a collaborator.
