Hi Rune Haarberg ,

 

What external sharing settings in the admin centre did you set and what kind of link did you send the user? 

 

A screenshot of the error message would be good.

    Hi Rune Haarberg 

     

    Its "Specific People" .

     

    This can be caused by a number of things.  

     

    1. Check the email address in the error message matched exactly with the address you send the invite too. 

    2. Check with SharePoint Admin that the sharing settings are set to allow users from all domains or the user's domain that you are trying to invite is added to the site.
