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."
You cannot able to share files to user who is not the member of the group because ' Allow sharing only with the external users that already exist in your organization's directory' is enabled in SharePoint and there is no way to change this as the site for Office 365 Groups is hidden.
It is only possible to share file to external user who is not the part of Office 365 Groups by adding the user in Azure AD B2B.

Thanks for clarifying that Santhosh. Saves me from digging into the details myself to see if it was possible!
