Sharing a document library with external users
- Nope...didn't work...
When I login as external user, I should be able to use the external email address and Microsoft account password, right? Before and after password reset, I get this message:
" That didn't work
You're trying to accept your invitation with xxxxxxxxxx@outlook.com.
This item is shared with xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com. This organization's policy requires you to accept the invitation using the account that is shared with.
......"
This sounds like it is related to a relatively new admin setting for external sharing. If you are a SharePoint admin in your tenant, go to the SharePoint admin page and then "Sharing" on the left.
I see this when I go to mine:
Notice in the middle of the screen, under additional settings:
External users must accept sharing invitations using the same account that the invitations were sent toIf that box is checked, then you must accept the invitation using the same email that it was sent to.
In my case, it was already checked by default. So, didn't help with the error :)
I have a case open with Microsoft to find out more on this...
" That didn't work
You're trying to accept your invitation with xxxxxxxxxx@outlook.com.Can you log in with your gmail address without clicking on the invitation link? You shouldn't be forced to use @outlook.com unless that's your gmail/microsoft account name. Log in, then accept invite?
What are the sharing permissions on the site, collection and tenant levels?
- That doesn't work either...
External Sharing enabled at both tenant and site collection level. On the site level, it's read access...
