Migrated files not showing in Shared with Me
Migrated files from on-prem OneDrive (my site) to Online OneDrive using the SharePoint migration tool. Permissions came over fine, and files that were shared with users are still shared with those same users. The only issue is that none of these files are showing up in the Shared with me area.
What can be done to get the files to show up in the Shared with me area? And, does anyone know the specific mechanism that is the trigger for this? I thought it was handled by the search indexing process, but these files do show up in search results, so search seems fine.
There are several reasons why files may not appear in the “Shared with me” area of OneDrive. Here are some possible solutions:
1.Refresh the Shared with me area: Sometimes, the “Shared with me” area may not update automatically. To refresh it, click on the “Shared” tab and then click on “Shared with me”.
2.Check if the files are shared with you: Ensure that the files are actually shared with you and not just accessible via a link. If they are shared with you, they should appear in the “Shared with me”.
3.Check if you have signed in: If you are unable to see the shared folder in the list, please make sure you have signed in your account when accessing the folder. After that, the folder should appear in the “Shared with you” list.
4.Check if you have permission to view the files: Ensure that you have permission to view the files. If you do not have permission, they will not appear in your “Shared with me”.
5.Check if there is a delay: Sometimes, it may take a while for files to appear in the “Shared with me” area after they have been shared with you.
Let me know if you need any help regarding this after going through the steps.
