      I am having the same issue with OneDrive. I tried the powershell commands described here (after installing the SharePoint Powershell components). Ran all commands, received no errors. Even using get-sposite ...  -details | fl  I can see that the Sharing Capability is "ExternalUsersAndGuestSharing". Everything seems correct.  It's been about 2.5 hours since I did this, I still cannot share from Onedrive to external users.  Is there a time period that needs to pass before this takes effect?  Am I just being impatient or do I have a larger issue? :)  Thanks

        It should take effect almost immediately. PowerShell = Magic :)

        Open your SharePoint admin center, and check the box next to the onedrive URL [my.sharepoint...] Then, in the ribbon at the top, click Sharing, and make sure it's enabled in there. Should Be as per PowerShell.
