I would try the following: Create a new folder in your Google Drive to move all your shared items into. Go to "Shared with Me" and add all the shared items from there to the new folder in your drive.

Like emails and social media posts, Google Docs can become subject to phishing scams and information theft. Aside from the points raised above, you must take a few things into consideration when dealing with publicly shared Google Docs.
If you see a link to a publicly shared Google Doc file in an email, make sure that the hyperlink really points to a real Google Docs file. Some senders use email and link trackers to collect information about users. Instead, you go through an intermediate server that can collect information such as device type, browser type, IP address, geographical location and more.
Below is a tracked link. You can verify this by hovering your mouse pointer on the link and reading the address that appears at the bottom of your browser window. You can directly click on the icon to open the file in Google Docs. A final privacy consideration when using publicly shared Google Docs: Be very careful of links inside documents. Make sure to check the destination of links inside the document. They might go through trackers, giving the owner the capability to collect information about visitors.
