Approval workflow

Hi, I am trying to allow our users to share files to external party either using sharepoint or onedrive. When they share, an approval is required. Onedrive - I realised there is no ways...

Try with MS Flow for both situations:

thanks, is it possible to enforce this flow to all users?

  No, it's not posible, ODFB is personal and you cannot force the user to create a Flow.
  
  Alternatively, you can disable external sharing in ODfB and only enable it in SharePoint with approval Workflow.

    Thanks. I attempted using sharepoint workflow. I am not sure why, but there is no email coming through.
    
    I have amended under library setting -> Versioning settings ->
    
    Require content approval for submitted items? : Y
    
    Create a version each time you edit a file in this document library?Create major and minor (draft) versions
    
    Who should see draft items in this document library?: Only users who can approve items
    
    Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited?: y
    
    under library setting -> Workflow setting->
    
    Show workflow associations of this type: Documents, This List and Folder
    
    I create a workflow for it to email to myself( owner)
    
    please advise. thanks
