Normally it is instant. You would need to reload the page before the Sharing box picked up the new settings, sorry for stating the obvious.

Have another try now and let me know how you get on.

Andrew Hodges hey still having the issue

So on my Hub site there is a library that cant be shared externally

then I have a sub site with a Library that can be shared externally

the account im trying to share from has read access on both sites, and i have turned on external sharing for both sites,

I can Share from it from the admin account i used to create the site

Hi NoahK9K ,

A read only account won't be able to share a library. You need to have full control over that library to be able to share the library and you won't be able to do that from the Share dialogue you have to do it through cog - > Library settings -> library permissions.
