You can now control sharing on per-site (collection) level so you can disable it completely for ODFB or for some users only. There's a global switch for this under https://admin.onedrive.com/?v=SharingSettings

 

Lots of other controls are available as well.

Is it actually possible to disable sharing at site collection level also internally, as asked by Guy Yardeni?

I was under the impression that only sharing with external users could be disabled...

    Internal should also be possible via the corresponding Site settings (access requests and invitations). jcgonzalezmartin is the expert on SPO, he should be able to correct me if that's not the case :)

      For other members yes, but not for ODfB where the user is the SCA, correct?

      I am afraid the there is no solution to Guy Yardeni's interesting problem...

      jcgonzalezmartin, do you have a solution?

        AFAIK, there is not a setting in SharePoint that allows to "disable" the Share button for both SharePoint and OneDrive so the Sharing options is going to be visible there ...the only thing you could do is just "hide" the share option using some JavaScript / CSSS that it's going to work well for SPO classic sites and not for modern sites (we will be able to do it with App Customizers in the SPFx)
