External users having issues with organizational and microsoft accounts
Within the last month we have started to notice more and more external users having issues accepting sharing invites sent from SharePoint online. I believe this has to do with recent changes to t...
FYI, create a Live ID using an organizational e-mail is not allowed anymore. Microsoft disabled this some months ago...I don't recall the port where they said that, but that's what is happening
Yeah jcgonzalezmartin you are right but they changed this to use Azure B2B and thought you do no longer need a ms account
- Where is this documented? I'm aware of B2B that I see as an option but not as a must and if Microsoft has decided to discontinue this simple way of sharing is just a mistake in my opinion...not every company is going to use Azure B2B...and what about sharing in ODFB...do I have to have Azure B2B to be able to share with external users? Don't think so ;-)...just my two cents
it is still possible but prefered to use B2b if possible. as far as i know it is not necessary to create a live account anymore.. but not 100% sure

Consumer email addresses (such as outlook.com or gmail.com) are not supported by B2B. Hence an external user with a consumer email address must sign in with an MSA.
