Sharing OneDrive folder with people without license

It should be possible to share a OneDrive folder with people without a OneDrive license.

However, sharing a link only seems to work in the browser, not in file explorer.

How to get this functioning?

OneDrive for Business
Sync

    You need a local mail client that can communicate the share status. If you're using a browser-baser email viewer then you may need to fix your computer's default mailto handler

      Both ends use 365 including Exchange Online, the receiving side does not have a OneDrive license but that should not be necessary as I understand.

        That has nothing to do with my question. If you don't have a desktop mail client for OneDrive to use you can't share from Explorer. It doesn't matter what your mail server is.
