Cannot use gmail account with shared document our site
Hi I have a number of users who have gmail accounts who I want to share documents and sites with. How do I do this with SharePoint Online / Office 365 ? Thanks Nigel
For a general introduction, you can start here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-external-sharing-for-your-SharePoint-Online-environment-C8A462EB-0723-4B0B-8D0A-70FEAFE4BE85
Do you have some problem in particular?
Hi Salvatore
It would you cannot share files and site with gmail accounts only Microsoft accounts.

If you want to share anonymously, you can do it with everyone, since he/she doesn't need to authenticate. If instead you want to share with authenticated users, they should authenticate with an MSA or an O365 work or shool account.
Hence to authenticate with Gmail accounts you should first create a corresponding MSA.
Anyway, this is all described in the article I linked in my previous post.
Hope it helps...
