Allowing External Access
Hi guys, I want to allow guest external access for the folder. I followed the guide and video posted by Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/solutions/collaborate-on-docume...

In most cases, the change to allow external sharing in OneDrive and SharePoint should take effect within an hour, but sometimes it can take longer depending on your organization’s policy or admin setup. It’s also possible that your global or SharePoint admin has restricted external sharing at the organization level, which would override your settings. I’d suggest double-checking with your Microsoft 365 admin to make sure external sharing is enabled for both SharePoint and OneDrive at the tenant level. Once that’s confirmed, your settings should start working properly.
