Hi, I have found some issues in external sharing feature used in OneDrive for Business. It would be really great if I can get some response on these issues by any of you experts. Thanks. - Wh...

MicrosoftHi Prashant,
At this time, we do not CC the sharer when SPO/ODB send the external sharing invitation mail. This will be changing shortly however so keep an eye out for the message center announcement.
We are also working on improving the experience inside of ODB & SPO to help users understand what resources are shared and what resources aren't.
Thanks!

Thanks Stephan. I hope to see these improvements soon because users are really getting frustrated with this odd behavior when they do not know if sharing invitation is sent or not and if file is shared or not.

prashantguptag & jcgonzalezmartin, we don't have a specific ETA we can share at this time, sorry!
- Ok, thanks for the info!
- I expect new improvements can fix some issues I'm seeing when sharing files & folders from ODFB...the new sharing option is really simple, but It's not working as expected
- StephenRiceHi Juan,
Can you describe what you are seeing that is not working as expected? Thanks!

OneDrive Program Manager- Sure...that's what I have seen in my corporate and test tenants:
(1) Select a folder or a file you want to share.
(2) Share it with a user (a corporate one or an external)
(3) Sharing e-mail is sent to the user
(4) The file or folder shared is not shown in the Shared with me section in ODFB
Repeat the process, but sharing the file / folder from the details panel so a different sharing dialog is shown...in this case, the file/folder is shown in the Shared with me once it's shared...aparently this issue is already reported according with the support guy I was talking to last week
