"Shared with Us" link in Modern SharePoint Menu (behavior)?
Can anyone explain the behavior of the "Shared With Us" link in the left menu of the modern sharepoint sites? Specifically dealing with a Group-connected site at the moment.
But the link keeps appearing sometimes, disappearing sometimes, it causes "subbullets" under the Documents to become subbullets under the "Shared With Us".
Brent Ellis I need help in removing the "Shared with us" link from a SharePoint site. It doesn't show up on the home page, but shows up randomly when you go into a document library. It messes up the side menu as it shows up in position three in the menu. This is very annoying and confuses a lot of are users.
THIS CHANGE HAS BEEN REQUESTED SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT 7 YEARS AGO. FOR CRYING OUT ALOUD MICROSOFT JUST ADD AN ON/OFF BUTTON FOR THE SHAREPOINT ADMINISTRATOR SO THEY CAN TURN OFF THIS USLESS FEATURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Same problem, must be a way to delete this...
Came up with a no-so-elegant workaround, better than nothing: https://blog.jussipalo.com/2019/09/problem-for-apparently-nearly-3-years.html
I have the same question, please give us an option to remove this thing, it's super annoying...
How to delete this "Shared with Us" link in Modern SharePoint Menu?
Please help....
Anjani Challamcherla Has anyone determined if the "Shared with Us" link in Modern SharePoint Menu can be removed/deleted?
- Need a way to delete it. How it can be done?
Microsoft please wake up and give the SPO Administrators a way to hide the useless "Share with me" menu link. It is in the wrong location in the menu and no one in our company uses it
- Agreed. I've been going around in circles trying to remove it from the left-hand-side navigation panel (or are they still calling it the 'Quick Launch'. It is now March 2021 and this has been rumbling on since EARLY 2017!
- Anyone have a user voice to vote on? I'm not sure they are HEARING US. Pernille-Eskebo, @SharePoint .... somehow I don't think these things work. 🙄🤣😡

How about a link to the actual voting page please......Plus this has been talked about at length now for a while. I do not know anyone who wants this feature. If you can provide a link to the actual page where you can vote on this particular topic please. Otherwise having to search the whole site is difficult.
Thank you
Rob
Agree - Need the ability to remove this in the navigation bar!
Agreed; need to be able to disable "Shared with Us" as a link in the left nav menu.
- Agreed - need a way to remove this, or at least move its position because it's location is in between lists?
Agreed - When designing solutions for people that aren't used to utilizing this platform, I need the least amount of visual clutter possible.
Agreed with all here. Probably the most frustrating part of SPO so far is so many pieces that aren't optional or configurable.
We need the ability to delete this or manage it through the menu.
as explained this shows foles or folders that have been explicitly (to: field) shared with that group. In my experince this navigation item is only visible when the user navigates to the default document library, I'm unsure about additionally created doclibs.
I guess your custom sub navigation messes with the scripts that show and hide this shared with us navitem.
Please let us delete this - it makes no sense in many situations. The solution of using a React web part to inject CSS isn't a solution.
Note: for others unsure of whether this just appears in the default document library - unfortunately that is not the case, so just creating other document libraries doesn't solve the issue.
