What is the replacement for `GET /me/drive/sharedWithMe

Question

The Graph API GET /me/drive/sharedWithMe is marked as deprecated. What is the recommended replacement?

The Learn AI agent suggested that "The recommended replacement for this API is to use the driveItems returned from the sharedWithMe method." Does this mean that the API itself will not be removed, but only the response model will change?

Answer 1

Hi @Meg Gotshall

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

From this official document, it stated that sharedWithMe API is deprecated and will stop returning data after November 2027.

It will be removed and no longer return any data from the calls.

At this moment, Microsoft has not announced any alternative for this deprecated API.

You can read here for more details: drive: sharedWithMe (deprecated) - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn

I hope this information helps.

Hi,
we ran into the same problem and were slightly disappointed / annoyed that there wasn't a clear migration plan.

Our current workaround/approach is to use the search API using a path-filter like this:

query = 'path:"https://site-name-xyz.sharepoint.com/personal/"'
response = client.post(
            "/v1.0/search/query",
            json={
                "requests": [
                    {
                        "entityTypes": ["driveItem"],
                        "query": {"queryString": query},
                        "from": offset,
                        "size": size,
                    }
                ]
            },
        )

This query seems to find onedrive files and folders shared with the user, teams files shared in personal chats, and the drive-items of the user itself.
You could also extend the query to filter for folders, or exclude the users files.
