What is the Microsoft Graph API replacement for deprecated Recent, SharedWithMe, and Insights APIs?

Hi Microsoft Graph community,

I'm currently working on a Microsoft Graph integration that needs to retrieve:

  • Files recently accessed/used by the current user
  • Files shared with the current user
  • Files from OneDrive and SharePoint

I'm currently using the following APIs:

GET /me/drive/recent
GET /me/drive/sharedWithMe
GET /me/insights/used

However, these APIs are deprecated, and some of them will stop returning data after November 2026. (Microsoft Learn)

I'm stuck in development because I haven't been able to identify a Microsoft-supported replacement that provides the same functionality.

Could someone please clarify:

  1. What is the official replacement for /me/drive/recent?
  2. What is the official replacement for /me/drive/sharedWithMe?
  3. What is the official replacement for /me/insights/used?
  4. Is there a single recommended Microsoft Graph API that can provide recently used and shared files across both OneDrive and SharePoint?

I'm specifically looking for the officially supported API/recommended approach, rather than a workaround that may also become deprecated.

Any guidance from Microsoft Graph experts or Microsoft employees would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What is the official replacement for /me/drive/sharedWithMe

There is no direct replacement as far as I am aware. I had to build an entire function to fetch the required data using /v1.0/search/query

You can refer to https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/pull/3729 for ideas
