I probably wasn't very clear and it's just what I have observed but a team site that is part of an Office 365 Group, has more restrictive sharing by default (in my dev tenant at least). This is explained in that Turn external sharing on or off for SharePoint Online link and the https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Turn-external-sharing-on-or-off-for-SharePoint-Online-6288296a-b6b7-4ea4-b4ed-c297bf833e30#ID0EAABAAA=Office_365_Groups:
"By default, all SharePoint site collections that are part of an Office 365 Group have the sharing setting set to Allow sharing only with the external users that already exist in your organization’s directory. To change this setting, you can use the Set-SPOSite Windows PowerShell cmdlet."
The PowerShell would be something like this, assuming there isn't an easier way to do this -
Set-SPOSite -Identity https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/site1 -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing

Again I am not sure if this is relevant but its what I have noticed.
Just to add, I tried that PowerShell and it did enable anonymous sharing for me in my Office 365 Groups based team site:
In my previous post you can see 'anyone' was greyed out but now it's enabled:
This worked great for accessing the files through Office365! Now when a file is attached to an email in Office 365 from the Group library, the sender can select from:
"Recipients can edit/view, Anyone in my organization can edit/view, Anyone can view"
My issue is now that I can't do the same from Outlook 2016. When I attach a file (from the same library), the sender can only select from:
"Organization can Edit / View" and "Recipient can Edit / View"
Any ideas/suggestions?
