Share with anyone with the link setting is grey out, why?
- Aug 19, 2019
Works fine here. Don't forget that the sharing settings can be configured on the individual SC level, so even if the org-wide settings allow anonymous sharing overall, some SC/ODFB libraries might not have the option available.
In my case, I can share just fine from my personal ODFB or from a generic SPO site. I get the same behavior as you when I try to share from a Comm site or Group/Team one. When I look at the settings of the corresponding SC though, I see this:
SharingCapability : ExistingExternalUserSharingOnly
So it seems working as expected.

Came here with the same question. It seems like MS has changed the default setting for this and now I cannot share individual files or folders anymore with ppl outside my org/team
I've followed the steps on the link below and it worked.
In a nutshell, you can control site level permissions by the steps below:
- Open SharePoint admin center
- Select the site at Sites>Active Sites
- Click on the option <Sharing> on the toolbar after the site is selected
