Choose **Shared** in the left rail. It lists the content other people shared with you, whether they named you directly or granted a collaboration you belong to.

## What appears in Shared

- Items shared with you as a person.
- Items shared with a collaboration you belong to.
- Managed folders another person shared with you, which also appear as rows under **Shared** inside the **Managed folders** section of the rail.

The **Share type** column on each row says how the access reached you.

## What does not appear in Shared

- Items shared with the whole Account. An Account-wide share behaves as an audience for a link rather than a listed grant, so it does not add a row here.
- Files posted in a Space. Drive hides the folder behind a Space channel today, so a file sent into a channel is reachable from the channel's **Files** tab rather than from **Shared**. The rail keeps a **From Spaces** group, but it lists Account-scoped folders you neither own nor received directly, not channel folders.
- Anything shared with you and then archived by its owner.

## If it did not work

- Ask the person who shared it which recipient they chose. A share aimed at a workgroup or a Space reaches you by a different path.
- If they sent you a link instead, open the link; a restricted link still requires that you are in the item's access list.
- If the link reports **You do not have access to view this content**, the grant did not save. Ask the owner to add you again, per [Invite people to a managed folder](/help/drive/invite-people-to-a-managed-folder).
- For a file someone posted in a Space, open that channel's **Files** tab.
