Shared by vs Shared with

Both 'shared by' and 'shared with' are correct, but 'Shared by' is used to indicate the person or entity who did the sharing, while 'shared with' is used to indicate the recipient of what was shared. The choice depends on whether you want to focus on the sharer or the recipient.
