Report on external sharing for Onedrive and Sharepoint Online

Question

We've always allowed external sharing but are now looking at eliminating or limiting that option for security reasons. I'm trying assess who has shared files externally and what files have been shared externally across all of Sharepoint online and Onedrive for all time. How can this be done? Any methods or even being pointed in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.
