Hey MrPatrick1, how are you today?

 

Based on what you described, it's true that an API would be the ideal match, in order to make it work, and fit precisely on your needs. 

 

You can always use Activity in your admin console, which would give you some insights in regards to shared content. And you could then check each individual folder or file, in order to check the members there. 

 

There are multiple things someone can view/create an activity report on there.

 

However, we don't have a feature that allows you to check if a file or folder has used a different mechanism, in order to be shared outside of the team with any other means. 

 

I hope this clarifies.
