I figured it out! I went to the SharePoint Admin Center, and on the Active Sites page, chose the Teams site (blue check mark). At the top, I chose Sharing, and changed the External Sharing setting to "Anyone".

Back in Teams, when I viewed the Team's Files on Sharepoint, I was able to create the "Anyone" link.

I've managed to change settings so the 'anyone with this link' works in general and standard channels, but this does not show in private channels... Any ideas please?

Private Channels are their own SharePoint site.
