Thanks for the links.
I have enabled external sharing for Sharepoint and OneDrive now, and disbled it on the individual users' onedrives through admin center, per the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/user-external-sharing-settings
Now comes the weird part: When I have removed the external sharing ability from a user, the link to the settings disappears from the admin center. I can't turn it on again. Please advice on how to get it back!
In addition to this I have tried to enable external sharing for a user through PS instead as is mentioned in the docs. But I get an error:
So, to summarize:
1. I enabled external sharing for OneDrive
2. I disabled external OneDrive sharing on the individual users
3. No I can't enable external OneDrive sharing on the individual users again, the management link is gone from admin center, and the PS command returns an error.
Tobbe674953 Hello! You're trying to configure a ODFB site collection and the message tells you that you cannot use it, but instead you have other parameters that are highlighted in red. I'm finding it a bit difficult to fully understand what you're doing, you can't access https://admin.onedrive.com/ ?
"You can also change the external sharing setting for a specific OneDrive user by using Microsoft PowerShell and running the cmdlet Set-SPOSite with the parameter -SharingCapability".
