Thanks Juan.

From the blog article, about the new features: "Ability to invite a user with any email address to collaborate. Whether a user has an Office365 or on-premises Exchange email address, an outlook.com email address, or any social email address, he/she can now seamlessly access the invited organization with inline, lightweight creation of an Azure AD or Microsoft Account."

Unfortunately I have been unable to correctly add an outlook.com user. :smileysad:

In the portal the user appears to be added and the invite appears to be sent, but the recipient never received the invite.

Any ideas?

 

EDIT

Never mind: the user found the invite in the spam folder...

So it appears it worked!

    We are now able to share a folder with that external user (having an outlook.com account) also from a Group having the default setting of "ExistingExternalUserSharingOnly".

    Awesome!

    This is a very welcome update indeed!

        Thanks!

        And many other users too, I guess, will be happy for this.
