How to get Preview of a shared file in MS Graph?

Im Using MS Graph Client and having a trouble of previewing Shared Items with me. 

 ItemPreviewInfo preview = await graphClient.Me.Drive.Items[id].Preview().Request().PostAsync();

Gives no such file exists error as obvious cos its not in my drive. I know i need to access shared folder may be but ""raphClient.Me.Drive.SharedWithMe...." does not give any item id specifications.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You need to get the shared drive item by calling :

DriveItem driveItem = await graphClient.Me.Drive.SharedWithMe().Request().GetAsync().FirstOrDefault();

Once you have retrieved the shared drive item, you can preview it by calling :

ItemPreviewInfo previewInfo = await client.Drives[sharedItem.RemoteItem.ParentReference.DriveId].Items[sharedItem.RemoteItem.Id].Preview().Request().PostAsync();

Since the shared items are from a different drive, you need to get the RemoteItem-DriveId for the shared drive and the RemoteItem-Id which identifies the DriveItem in the shared drive.

This is explained here
