Hi, after I re-try a few more times then somehow it works. But can I check with you, if I shared the sharepoint to people be it inside or outside of the Organization, how do I Ensure that they can’t share the folder or link of the files to other people both inside and outside of the Organization?

TheGreenOne888 glad it is working now! Definitely let me know if you have any other issues.
And by default, any user who has edit permission to a document is allowed to share it. You can disable "MembersCanShare" on a site by site basis though which restricts all sharing to just the owner/s of the file/folder/site. Note though if you give someone a shareable link (e.g. people in your org), they will of course be able to forward that link along and give access that way.
Hope that helps!
