Tried with OneDrive and it Works! Get the URL from SharePoint Admin Center - look for the one with my-sharepoint in it - Thats it.

    the one posted above:
    Yes this was using SharePoint Online Management shell which you can get here:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35588
    
    Note: to run this you have to be a "Global Admin" or it won't work.
    
    $adminUPN="replace_with_admin-username"
    $orgName="Company Name"
    $usercredential = Get-Credential -username $adminUPN -Message "type password"
    Connect-SPOService -Url https://$orgName-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $userCredential
    
    $siteurl="https://$orgName.sharepoint.com/sites/desired_site_collection"
    set-sposite -identity $siteurl -sharingcapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
    
    The
    "Connect-SPOService -Url https://$orgName-admin.sharepoint.com"
    URL you get from Sharepoint online admin center
