Guest users are not showing in document library
If I grant guest users rights directly to a SPO document library (after having disabled inheritance), the users will have the expected rights, but they will not show up in the list of users/groups with access to the library. This is of course a security problem, because you can't see (easily) who have access, but it also means that you can't remove or edit the user (in the GUI).
If I put the same users in a group, it works as expected.
Are you seing the same thing?
Hello Jakob -
Please refer to this doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-dire
ctory/active-directory-b2b-faq. See the question about SPO people picker:
Are B2B collaboration guest users visible in SharePoint Online/OneDrive people picker?
Yes! However, the ability to search for existing guest users in the SharePoint Online people picker is OFF by default to match legacy behavior. You can enable this using the setting 'ShowPeoplePickerSuggestionsForGuestUsers' at the tenant and site collection level. This can be set using the Set-SPOTenant and Set-SPOSite cmdlets, which allow members to search all existing guest users in the directory. Changes in the tenant scope do not affect already provisioned SharePoint Online sites.
Please run the above mentioned cmdlets to see the added users in the picker and let us know if that worked for you!

Are you picking the users from the B2B users already invited through Azure AD B2B?Yes - as I wrote, the same users are working ok, when added via a group.
