Announcement: New OneDrive Admin Center Preview
- Hi Cary - here is TechNet article on how to enumerate domain guids.

As a quick chaser to my last post, the results from the Admin centre OneDrive use report aren't quite what I'd expect either. Two accounts where I know there are externally shared files don't reflect the true position. One, I think, is as a result of having shared the folder with the external user meaning that all subsequent files are 'externally shared'.
I was looking to potentially use this report as part of risk mitigation processes so that we could identify users with new/high amounts of external sharing. However, it looks like this might not be reliable or might need quite a bit of framing to say, 'It only picks up x, y & z but not....'.
MicrosoftHi Neil,
Sorry for the long delay here! Where are you grabbing that OneDrive sharing report? Is that in OneDrive admin or somewhere in the compliance center? Thanks!

Hi Neil McCafferty,
Sorry for the delay in response! The report you're looking at (OneDrive activity) only shows results for the last "X" days (where X should be configured somewhere in the UX above the report). Some of the shares you are seeing probably occurred outside that timeframe which is why they aren't showing up. Hope that helps!

Neil McCafferty, I'll have to follow up with the owner of that report and see what is going on.
As for the second per-group control, rolling from first release to the rest of Production normally takes a few weeks. So not too much longer! Thanks!

Neil McCafferty, you can generate a report of externally shared content via the SCC as detailed here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Keyword-queries-and-search-conditions-for-Content-Search-c4639c2e-7223-4302-8e0d-b6e10f1c3be3#external
This type of report will not be time-based however, so not sure if appropriate for your scenario.
Stephen,
The report is in the O365 Admin Centre > Reports > Usage > OneDrive activity. You can kind of make this out from the screen grab. We hope to have a report that can identify external sharing exposure by department and job title (in real terms for us, this means by school and teacher/pupil) so that areas of risk can be highlighted.
In other news, I notice that the second sharing control by security group (authenticated users only + authenticated users AND anonymous) has hit first release. Do you know when this is likely to show up in production?
