Is there a way to create a view that will allow showing listing of two entity types, for example combine items from the Content and File Entity Files views?
Lets say we wish to show a listing of all content belonging to a user. We create a view for Content entity, then add user as a required relationship, but this does not show the file fields to be added to the view.
Thats tough to answer without a little more information.
It depends on whether or not they share anything in common. Views over on the right hand side of the UI has a menu for what are called relationships. You could for example setup a content type based view and then add a relationship to the user who created the content type node. After the relationship was created you'd then have access to information stored (fields) on the user as well as the fields from the content type itself. What these relationships are doing behind the scenes in views is setting up SQL joins between the various tables in your Drupal database.
Another thing you might want to look into is entity references and taxonomy tags. Both of those can be used to setup connecting points between pieces of content that can be rendered by a view much in the same way.
You could use SearchAPI module.
This module provides a framework for easily creating searches on any entity known to Drupal, using any kind of search engine.
With this module you can creare an index with different entity types (nodes, terms, users, files) and show them in a view.
