Access Denied when sharing folders
Ok! I found the problem! Well... Actually Microsoft Support helped me with this.
It seems that another part of our organization indeed had changed the setting without telling us in IT.
Solution:
In the "Site setting", "Site Collection Administration", "Site collection features" the "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" must NOT be activated.
This setting is automatically activated when the "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" feature is activated.

- Nice. This solved my issue. I was unable to share-externally on any new SPO site I was creating as a standalone (non team site). I encountered this starting about summer of 2018 and never resolved it. My old sites still worked, so just used them. Now we can start externally-sharing on new sites. Life is good! Yea!
