Confusion with Guest Accounts
Yes, there is a difference in how users with O365 accounts are handled compared to how users with generic IDs are handled. Check out this article for more info: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/what-s-new-in-sharing-in-targeted-release
Is there a way to see this in the logs. We are sharing a file to external recipients that are not part of IT. They do not know how this all works and it would be great for us to be able to review the logs and confirm they have a O365 tenant.
My guess right now is that they were using O365 and changed to Google Docs (the users confirm they use Google Docs now). But some how their IT department did not switch off their O365 accounts causing this issue.
Need a way to confirm this as the users don’t know or remember.
Yes, it should be reflected in the Unified audit log: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/securitycompliance/search-the-audit-log-in-security-and-compliance#sharing-and-access-request-activities
VasilMichev I would have thought one of those would provide such information but it does not or at least not in whatever the case we are running into. When these users attempt to access this resource and are prompted to login (which they do not know that information), the activity is not reported in these logs. I have been able to confirm, that an anonymous link will work, so whatever the case is, it is related to this login issue. Still waiting on Santa (I mean, Microsoft) to assist on this issue.

Hi Jeff Harlow,
Hopefully I can help out here! Is the goal to be able to determine which type of user is accessing content via the audit logs? Thanks!
