SharePoint share files with group members only

Hi, The company I work for has recently started using SharePoint an Ms Teams, the main use case was to share document with external users, it is all working until here but now we would like to rest...

ganeshsanap thank you for your quick response

The thing is that some group members are guests users so I can't change the external sharing.

There is a SharePoint site setting to restrict the sharing file/folders for owners only, do you know how this can be done globally for the tenant?

The option I'm talking about is SharePoint site > Site Permissions > Site Sharing > Change how members can share

-Site owners an members can share files...

- Site owners and members, and people with Edit permissions an share files....

- Only site owners can share files...

Unfortunately in SPO there is not an option of having a mixture of guest users and corporate users so you can configure a Site in a way it cannot be shared externally. The only feature I know in Microsoft 365 that it's similar to what your mention is Shared Channels in Microsoft Teams that is powered by Azure AD B2C

Is there a way of restricting sharing files/folders and site to owners at tenant level?
