Hi there
How to get a list of shared links in a SharePoint Online document library? Any PowerShell or other way?
(Shared links when we click on the ellipsis next to a folder/file, and click Share, and type the emails of users)
Thanks.

this describes a way to list it but you need to be the site owner to run it

it returns a csv file

This works but the built-in feature suggested by another user does the same thing and doesn't require running an external PS script.

@Xyza Xue_MSFT How could I modify this to show the users email that has the access to the links? Is there a way to slim the scope down to a specific folder in a document library?

Hi @frob

You can try using Microsoft Purview:

Hi @Dillon Silzer
In our case, the audit report will not work, as I migrated the data to SharePoint Online, so the action was never taken on the site. Ideally, a PowerShell script can work.
Thanks.
