Is "Shared with me" supposed to show Files that is shared with me from external users?
- Hi andreasd1
AFAIK, Shared with me is documents shared with you by other internal users within your organisation
Reference article as confirmed by Microsoft here -

Hope that answers your question

OK, thanks guys. I found this quite old Uservoice which asks for this feature: https://onedrive.uservoice.com/forums/913531-onedrive-sharing-collaboration/suggestions/7119800-shared-with-me-view-should-show-files-folders-sh
Actually, since about the beginning of the year, you should be able to see externally shared files as well. Folders included. You can identify them via the "globe" icon next to the item name:
- That’s great to know VasilMichev, I didn’t think this functionality was there yet. Will try it out on Monday. Thanks for the heads up!
VasilMichev Wow! That's awesome. But it seems like it doesn't work for me yet. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot, when there's no external entries in the "shared with me" list?
I sent a Sharing link from my test tenant to my work tenant 4 days ago and it's still not listed there. Maybe the feature is not rolled out globally yet?
Might be limited to First Release, not sure. Or simply a staged rollout that will hit your tenant in the coming weeks.
