Hi @Stefano Conti, hi @Sahil Arora,

we have the same problem of Stefano, we are not able to invite externals to our groups even if all the required settings seems to be ok.

How did you solve the problem? What is missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Are guests allowed to sync group files via ODFB, or only view them online?

My understanding is that the answer to your question is yes...a guest user in a group is a member of the group, so he/she could sync files using ODFB sync client

Hi Juan,

Thank you for the answer, i have been reading through the office groups documentation, and can't find anything regarding this - and when i try to sync files as a guest the folder turns up empty.
