Onedrive collaboration between multiple tenants
We have multiple tenats which are alle working with Sharepoint Online/Onedrive. We would like to drag and drop files from Sharepoint Online in Tenant A to a user which uses Onedrive from Tenant B. Can we esthablish this with Azure AD B2B?
There are ways to get this done with B2B. This involves using our APIs and using scripts to bulk onboard people from the other organization. And enabling self service sign-up for new users who join the other company.
Scripts: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-code-samples
Self service sign-up portal: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-self-service-portal
You can see a demo of the self service portal in my talk: https://aka.ms/b2bmechanics
Then, run a PowerShell script to make these users visible in SPO:
The ability to search for existing guest users in the SharePoint Online people picker is OFF by default to match legacy behavior. You can enable this using the setting 'ShowPeoplePickerSuggestionsForGuestUsers' at the tenant and site collection level. This can be set using the Set-SPOTenant and Set-SPOSite cmdlets, which allow members to search all existing guest users in the directory. Changes in the tenant scope do not affect already provisioned SPO sites.

Hi Sarat,
Our Office 365 admin could not add any apps from Azure portal listed under Microsoft Apps in Staff tenancy to the Invited student tenant. For ex: We need to add One Drive. Below screenshot is for Drop Box. We are able to add ABC news apps to the invited student user. We can add One Drive Client App as a SaaS App but not any of the Microsoft Apps from the listed dropdown under Enterprise Apps.
- Sarat SubramaniamAmit - to add Office365 apps, have you tried assigning licenses from the licensing tab (image attached)?
Hi,
The link on the best response is broken - can you please re-link?
I am looking for a way to share one drive across multiple tenant.
LMS is involved.
