Still wondering why I'm not receiving an e-mail when sharing a file from ODFB
Can anyone refresh my mind why this is still happening in some tenants :-)? cc Salvatore Biscari StephenRice

Please give a look to this thread: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/External-user-email-notifications-when-sharing-a-site/m-p/31958/highlight/true#M2786
In the thread @Stephen Rice said: "These mails are not CC'd to the sharer (note: we are building this feature soon) which is why you did not receive a notification in your inbox."
I guess the feature is still rolling out...
- Feb 24, 2017Mmm...what I'm also seeing is that the person I'm sharing the file/folder with is also not receiving the e-mail what it's totally unexpected

In the same thread @Stephen Rice said: "... if you are sharing the team site with a new external user (i.e. they have never been shared with from your tenant before), SPO will send an external sharing invitation."
Could it be that the the person you are sharing the file/folder with is not "new"?
- Feb 24, 2017In my particular scenario, both users are organizational users and SPO is configured so sharing is only allowed between users in the organization...some additional information about customer scenario:
(1) No First Release enabled
(2) Users are licensed under a E2 Plan for NGO
