Delete the "Shared with us" link on navigation menu for modern sites

Hi everyone!   I've tried to remove the lin on the navigation bar called "Shared with us". It appears whenever it wants and disappear...   I've read many posts but it looks that no one have tried...

KevinDMyGG Where and when do you see the "Shared with us" option?

 

Can anyone add screenshot of it?

    Changing the Navigation Orientation from Vertical to Horizontal removes the "Shared with Us" button.

      Hello,

      Is it possible for you to reconsider the idea of removing the link that is auto generated?
      The value behind the link is to identify data that is shared through the specific MS Teams channel, to other areas. This is a way to manage the data lifecycle and ultimately, GDPR.

      Is there a reason you are using a Team site and not a communication site? Is the "Frontpage" the landing page of your SharePoint Online environment?

      I could gladly help you with the SPO/Teams architecture. With a communication site, the "shared with us/delt med os" will not be visible.

      Yours sincerely,
      Aref Halmstrand

        Hi
        For me, the first issue is, that it pops out in the middle of a "structured" list. That is MAJORLY poor design.
        The second issue is, that I have made a site suited for my teams needs, and this "shared with us" is not part of our needs, as nothing will be shared with us (in this team).

        I assume that "removing it from the list" would be a fairly simple task, (the functionality could still be part of the site, just no shortcut sometimes showing up).

    From what I can see, this will appear in the left navigation anytime someone goes into a document library within a Private Group site.

    the "shared with us" will appear on url with this syntax
    https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/_sitename/Lists/_listname/AllItems.aspx

     

    when you use sharepoint site URL, e.g. https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/_sitename
    it won't show the "shared with us", but once you clicked any list on left side bar you will be provided with "shared with us", no matter customization you did it will keep showing up

    cant upload screenshot due to permission issue
