365 Groups "Full Teamsite" & External Sharing
You can change the default using PowerShell.
From https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-external-sharing-for-your-SharePoint-Online-environment-c8a462eb-0723-4b0b-8d0a-70feafe4be85?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US:
"By default, all SharePoint site collections that are part of an Office 365 Group have the sharing setting set to Allow sharing only with the external users that already exist in your organization’s directory. To change this setting, you can use the Set-SPOSite Windows PowerShell cmdlet."
Jaun,
Thanks for your quick reply, but I'm aware of that and it's enabled.
The scenario I tried to describe is different: I tried to share a single library/file from an 365 group's SP teamsite with an external user not beeing a member of the group. I don't want to share the whole site/communication/... with the user, only parts of it.
Any ideas on that?

- It'll be interesting to see what shakes out about this use case. I can totally see the use case and how it's relevant and my microsoft programmed brain would say "because it's an office 365 group and meant to use the new azure ad objects it won't be supported because groups is an all or nothing situation"
But I also know that you can use granular permissions in the hidden SharePoint site collection and I know that because it's a SharePoint site collection it should in theory be able to turn on the external sharing and support this use case.- Antony,
Normal business is the use-case :)
Assume an internal-team that does discussions, uses the notebook, organizes itself in planner but also wants to be able to share some results (documents or apps e.g. issue tracking) with an external audience. Of course, I can create another SP site for it, but why? ... it's all there.
My understanding of "full SP site" is different :-)
MarkusMarkus,
Was this topic you had ever resolved? I am struggling with the same question from my users. Any insight or solutions to this problem would be helpful.
Thank you,
Jaime
