New Word/Office/Excel/Powerpoint missing for guest link users.
I have a strange issue with SharePoint I'm after creating a new tenant for a school and I've enabled guest link sharing using the following powershell command
Connect-SPOService -URL https://-admin.sharepoint.com
Set-SPOSite -Identity https://.sharepoint.com/sites/ -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
However when the guest user opens the link they only have an option for a new Visio document not Word/Office/Excel/Powerpoint which is what they actually need,
I can create a new visio document and save it in the library so its not a permissions issue and it only happens with guest links not with regular users.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this ?

I think a similar issue is being discussed in another thread: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneDrive-for-Business/Shared-folder-with-editing-rights/m-p/126981#M2961

That looks similar but I'm having the same issue even when I create the folder and share it out to the guest user. Guest users can only create visio documents in the folder and new folders.

Hi Raymond Preston,
If you permission a folder/site to an external user (not using a sharing link), does that user still see the subset of creation options? Or does it only occur when a link is shared? Thanks,
