Managing External Sharing in Microsoft 365 Without Chaos

External collaboration is no longer optional. Vendors, partners, clients, and contractors all need access to files, Teams, and sometimes even entire SharePoint sites. Microsoft 365 makes this easy—but too easy if it’s not governed properly.

Unchecked external sharing can quickly turn into chaos: sensitive documents shared with the wrong people, anonymous links floating around forever, and zero visibility into who has access to what. The good news is that Microsoft 365 provides powerful controls to balance collaboration without compromising security.

This article walks through how to manage external sharing in Microsoft 365 effectively, with clear technical steps, best practices, and real-world governance tips.
