Sharing with partners and external users

Question

Hi,I'm working for a public sector organisation with 6,000 staff. We've recently moved to Office 365. We use teams, Yammer, SharePoint sites, Exchange online and One Drive for Business.&nbsp;We've been getting requests for data sharing with external partners and users. What's the best way to handle this and how are other organisations coping?&nbsp;&nbsp;We want to enable collaboration, but only do so securely.&nbsp;So far, we're considering using Azure B2B guest accounts as described&nbsp;under “Sharing only with external users in your directory” and “Sharing with authenticated external users” as described&nbsp;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/external-sharing-overview&nbsp;We're not using Azure Information Protection, but we may do so.&nbsp;I'm looking for real life experiences, best practice and general advice on how we can securely collaborate.Thanks&nbsp;

I need to know a little more about how you are utlilizing those services and their purpose!
But setting those setting means that you need an admin inviting and adding those users which you are to collaborate with!

I recommend using teams for collaboration! Set up teams with purpose of external collaboration
