Does a sharing link for anyone in the organization includes guest users?

Hi,   When a user creates a sharing link of type "anyone in the organization", will this link work for guest users?    Can this setting in Azure AD change the answer?       Thanks, Ron...

Hi roniy 

 

The link will not work for guests.  Its internal users only.

    Thanks, Andrew Hodges 

     

    What about the setting I mentioned above? will it change this behavior?

      Hi roniy ,

       

      I don't know exactly what that setting does but it won't have any bearing on the sharing links in terms of allowing guest users to access the files if you select "People in CompanyA"

        Hi all,

         

        Just wanted to pop in here and confirm.

         

        Links that work for People in Your Organization will only grant access to people who have the link (e.g. it's been sent to them) and who are listed as internal users in your organization.

         

        It's behavior is unaffected by the Azure B2B setting around limited guest access. 

         

        Thanks,
