See all the files shared with a specific user

Question

Dear community,

As we have many department changes withing our company we need to know which files are shared with which user in order to be able to clean things up.

Is there a way to see all the files shared with a specific user?

I can see the files shared with me by using the following within graph: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/sharedwithme

We want to be able to do this for another user. Is there a possibility within Microsoft (graph) to do this, the following doesn't work as 'sharedWithMe' only works for your own user, even with the Site.Read.All and Files.Read.All permissions: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/{userid}/drive/sharedwithme

The Compliance Portal has some capabilities but the timeframe is too short to clean up shares from over the years.

Hi, dear @Oliver Martin

Calling the /users/{user id} endpoint to list items shared with a specific user is currently not supported. Only call /me endpoints are supported to list items shared with yourself.

So based on your demands, I suggest you submit a user voice to add a support request for the /users/{user id} endpoint, and I will vote for you.
