Sharing lists with others outside your organization
You are correct. You cannot currently share lists outside your organization. We've voiced this concern (loudly) and MS seems to be listening and have promised an end-of-March 2020 implementation of being able to share with others with an @Outlook account. Not ideas, but it's free and should work.
After that, they plan to open it up like Wunderlist was. No date on that.
Yes, this is a serious drawback and our company was looking at other tools if they don't fix it (ToDoist is the front runner).
We have thousands at our company waiting to convert until this is reconciled.

thanks!
- No updates as yet.
Thanks for asking. I have not heard updates and it's still not working. Several of us have been trying and not hearing from Microsoft. Also, note there are TWO suggestions for this to be opened up, so please VOTE ON BOTH. They're also not combining the two suggestions which would be the best way.
I just converted yesterday from wonderful Wunderlist. I guess I'll have to find another app now. I have lists for work and personal. Most of these people on my personal side will not be getting a Microsoft account just to use the app nor can I force them. I can't share outside of my organization with my wife, and does have a Microsoft 365 account. So, disheartening that MS takes a great product and throws it in the garbage.
- Any update here? I still can’t share lists with my wife. This is a complete deal-breaker. I’ve loved so much about Teams, but now I’m actively being punished for paying for Office 365. It’d be MORE functional if we used gmail for the business and signed up for a free Teams account! 🤦🏼:male_sign:🤦🏼:male_sign:🤦🏼:male_sign:
