StephenRice I am having this problem as well. I type in the email for an external user and it keeps bringing up my name. People talked about hitting enter after typing in the email but that just resolves to me. It looks like I have permissions set up correctly but it just doesn't share.

Hi Deleted,
Can you try hitting "Ctrl + K" and see what happens? It looks like the e-mail is unresolved. Let me know if that fixes it (as that will help confirm what the bug is). Thanks!
Stephen Rice- When I try to share a file with my personal email to test external sharing, I get this same error. If I accept the suggestion (what I think ctrl-K would do), it just resolves to my WORK email, which isn't remotely helpful.
I've tried opening up SharePoint settings to allow anyone with the link, but OneDrive's share dialog still won't allow my email. If I copy the link & open it in an incognito window, that works fine, but it's cumbersome.
In order to share using the dialog, does everyone I want to send a link to need to be set up as
a guest in Azure AD? That seems nuts.
Also, am I to understand that OneDrive's privileges are LESS permissive than SharePoint? That doesn't seem logical.
