yes I think we can agree this is the only piece of content I have seen online on this topic.

mikkele Hey! Just want to add this here as well. Can't believe how I missed this.. Will update my previous post.
ChristianJBergstrom Referring to the https://office365itpros.com/2020/09/03/teams-upgrades-its-file-sharing-to-be-consistent-with-office-365/ the "Sharing in a Chat feature" has had a long bumpy road, and even now for me it doesn't seem to work. The way it should work is that when in Teams you paste a link to a file in SP/OneDrive you should get the 365 sharing options pop-up, but this doesn't happen for me anymore
For this use case we use the ”sharing links” as described in the link just above your latest reply. And perhaps a bit early to say anything about Teams Connect as it’s 6 months until GA.
- Thanks I am aware of both features you linked to. Maybe shared channels can help but from my understanding they only work for external users that already have M365/AAD, so for the use case in this post, there is still a gap for other external users
