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...
admin
office 365
security
sharepoint

    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
