Notification when external user accepts sharing invitation
Within the Security & Compliance center you can filter by accepted invitations. So no email alert but at least you can get to the infromation:
MicrosoftHi Allan,
With the new external sharing flow, you don't need to create a Microsoft account to access the content. Instead you just need to verify that you own the e-mail address by entering the verification code. There should be no need to sign-in or sign-up for an account. Thanks!

- Thank you, yes, I have been looking forward to that feature. But right now I am not being offered to enter such a code. I only see a box where I have to enter a username or mail address for a Microsoft account, which does not exist for said Gmail address... So as an external user I would be stuck...

Hi AllanWith,
Can you show me screenshots of how you are repro'ing this? Sharing dialog settings? As well as the e-mail enter page? Thanks!
Stephen Rice
Certainly! And thank you for listening :)
1. These are the sharing settings. Apologies for it being in Danish. But as you can see, I have shared it with a Gmail mail address.
2. This is what I see from the Gmail client, at which point I click the included link:
3. Finally, this is what I see, when I try to click the link from the email. As you can see, it doesn't ask me to enter in any code or even offer to create a new Microsoft account, as it used to. Obviously I could go create a Microsoft account some other way, but that would not be the most intuitive reaction for most users.
