Excel Share document look and feel
For semi-annual channel new UI was introduced with the build 1803.9126.2259 from July 10, 2018
Sharing files UI: For OneDrive for Business or SharePoint files, clicking the Share button in the upper right-hand corner of the ribbon or going to File > Share launches a simplified and improved Share dialog. For new or locally-saved files, the UI allows users to easily upload their files to OneDrive to start collaborating.

To my knowledge there is no setting to change that UI. At the same time Microsoft deploys new functionality and bugs fixes gradually, switching them on step by step. That means what even if you are on the same build that doesn't mean Excel apps are fully identical. I guess full deployment could take up to few months.
To be sure you may open support ticket or repeat that question on answers.microsoft.com, that forum is much more oriented on support.
And please check File-Account if you all have connected services like this
however not sure that affects something.
We prefer the slide out, and not sure why the change to a pop out window. I am hoping it is a setting that is causing this.
Are you all on the same build of Office?

We have the same build, so it must be a setting somewhere.

Thanks SergeiBaklan for the answer. I knew you'd have something on this!
Jerry Gonzalez, no worries at all. That's what the community is here for! Happy to help.
Cheers fellas

I'm experiencing the pop up version on my version of Excel which is a slightly older version of the one you are using. Even Excel online mimics the same pop up.
I've reached my limit so I will tag in SergeiBaklan who is our top contributor to see if he might know what's happening?
Sorry I don't have a better answer but you got me on this one!
Cheers
