This is useful if, for example, the owner wants you to share content with you and nobody else. Like any media in your library, view the Shared media by clicking on the tile. This opens the media in the Media Details page where you can view it.
The easiest way to see if something is a shared item or not is to look at the media tile. Whose name appears there? If it's your name, it is your media; you own it. If it is someone else's name, then it is owned by someone else, but viewable by you. To view media that was shared with you:

FAQ
Do I own the content that's shared with me?
No. Please understand that this is not a copy of the media. It functions more like a link that gives you access to it and nothing more.
