External Sharing log

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a suitable solution for a customer case!

The customer shares a lot of data with external customers via SharePoint and OneDrive. He would like to receive an overview / log of when the data was accessed and processed externally.
The notifications can be used as standard - but this is not comprehensive, since the customer would like to have some kind of log.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a solution?

 

Many THX

    You could try the external sharing report from dms-shuttle. However, it is not 100% what you asked for. The tool provides a report in Excel format that contains all external sharing links in the tenant/site/library. It may also be useful for a kind of audit.

      thx for the suggestion. The approach sounds good for specific files, but I think this will be hard to manages, if many persons in an organization share files and you would like to have a log or protocol on every file.
