Hi Anthony-123,
just to eliminate all, can you try to reset the filter completely and try to see if you can find this alert in the list of all alerts.
You can use "CTRL" + "F" and try to search for Unusual volume of file sharing
If you can´t find it, are you a Global Administrator, what kind of Admin is your user? Do you have a Global Admin user to test it (open this) alert?

Hi Anthony-123,

My alerts are something else, those are Mail-Flow alerts (https://security.microsoft.com/viewalertsv2).
