Hi ​@Vivian Chan

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re glad to assist regarding your Box access. 

 

Are you trying to access a shared file/folder but you don’t know the folder owner? If yes, try searching through  your past collaboration invitations in your inbox. 

 

Each folder/file invitations has a corresponding email notifications that’ll show you the sender. 

 

Hope it helps! Let us know if you have questions.
