External users having issues with organizational and microsoft accounts

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.
Salvatore Biscari jcgonzalezmartin thanks for explaining and adding the direct links :-)
- That's why I always ask for an official reference to questions like this ;-)...imagine small companies in Office 365, you cannot ask / force them to use B2B for external sharing :-)
