Is there a central location showing shared files?

Is there a central location to view all files that I've shared?    I have 2 TB of data nested in 100+ folders and subfolders.  Over the years, I've shared lots of files in the various subfolders ...

Unfortunately, none of my shared files are shown there.

    Thanks for the info, could you contact the support team directly for them to investigate this in more detail?

      UPDATE:  I chat with Support and learned that there is no way to see what files I shared FROM me to others.  The Files/Shared tab only shows what files were shared TO me from others.  That's a pretty insane design flaw if this product wants to compete in the collaboration space.  Shame on me for not confirming the absence of this feature before sharing files but it's mindboggling that such a simple feature could be missing.
