External Sharing Difficulties (SharePoint)
I have an external sharing site collection set up with several sub-sites. My understanding is this 1. Anyone can create a Microsoft Account off any non-O365 email and then they can be authenticated ...
Hi Eric Adler,
Do you have the "require recipients to authenticate with the same account that was invited"? If not, then you don't need to create an MSA with the same e-mail address as the account that was invited (gmail). Also, with the new external sharing flow that is rolling out, users who do not have an account will no longer be required to create an account. Instead they can authenticate via a one time code. Hope that helps!

Did you change anything in regards of external sharing in your tenant? Have you tried to add those users as guests directly in Azure AD? Sometimes I have had to do this so some external users can access to my SPO sites
- I have not tried to add them to Azure AD directly. In this model would I set their password and send it to them?
