Sharing lists with others outside your organization

I recently decided to finally move from Wunder to To-do .

It is a work account but I also have some personal lists to share with my wife (Ie.g. groceries).

How do I share lists with her? if I invite her she gets an error as she is not part of my work organization /group.

Do I need two separate accounts or something (ugh) - how would that work in the app?

    I'm with you on this.  This is beyond annoying that I am forced to switch but cannot share my list.  May be forced to switch products/apps if MS can't figure this out.

    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.

      Hey, has anyone had an update on this, being April now Im wondering if this has been implemented and I've missed it or the target date has been missed?

      thanks!
    • This is horrible. So MS has announced the shutdown of Wunderlist, yet there is no way to share outside of the ToDo org.  Just terrible MS.

    TQFord  I think this is a question that MS keeps avoiding. Why aren´t we getting an answer if this is going to be possible at all or when it´s planned. The silence is complete!
    MS, please let us know so we can go on and find a worthy alternative to Wunderlist.

    I have the same question. We have switched to ToDo and cannot share list outside org.

      Hi, can anyone advise if/when MS will fix this issue. Also know a number of people who have suffered the same frustrations not being able to share outside of their domain. Would like to know if this will be fixed as last posts I could find suggested it should be but are from 2020. Thanks

        Unfortunately no.... and don't have anything from MS that I have seen.

         

        They have made it a bit easier to switch accounts... and you can have a browser in one account and the app in another.  Not great - app needs a lot of work, some improvements have been made but looks like it is a low priority for them for some reason.  Very disappointing, buying a competitor and then crushing the innovation.
