Remove the "Shared with us" library from showing up in SharePoint Team sites

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to remove the "Shared with us" library from showing up in SharePoint Team sites.

This library shows up from time to time in the left-hand navigation panel when a SharePoint Team site is accessed. And it does go away after refreshing the site a few times. Is there a more permanent solution to ensure that this library does not show up?

Thanks,

Nishanth Chakkere Ramesh

Hi @Nishanth Chakkere，

Per my test and research, we are unable to hide the Shared with us by setting currently. Here is a post discussing the similar issue with yours:

As a workaround, the post mentioned users could inject a css with spfx to custom the navigation bar:

Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future. You could vote the request in this link. Thanks for your understanding.
