Thank You for your prompt response.
I would like to clarify that our portal home page is a communication-hubsite .https://(Domain Name).sharepoint.com/site name/SitePages/Home.aspx
The sites linked in the main menu are also communication sites https ://(domain name).sharepoint.com/(site name)/sitepages/home.aspx
This is my portal scenario and whenever we are sharing the folder the external user gets the main menu .
We make sure that the folder has unique permissions (always stops inheriting permissions).
We have more than 5000 users or employees .in the sites the scenario is site visitors everyone folders unique permissions. please have a look and kindly advice
