Posting here as MS Support have not come up with a solution. The scenario is tenant wide and is regarding the Share feature in a standard modern document library. Quite simply, for the same external user:
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks

Hi @Deleted ,
What happens if you break the permission inheritance on the folder and then add the user in?
Do you as a SharePoint admin still get this issue if you try and share the folder or is it just users with Contribute/Edit permissions?

In my 19 years of hacking SPS for living I have never touched this setting. The solution is to deactivate the "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" in the root site collection. This allows for the sharing of folders. Don't ask me why......

@Deleted Have you tried disabling the 'Limited User Lockdown' mode on the site? I believe it is enabled by default.
Open the SharePoint site> Settings> Site Information> Site Settings> Site Collection Features> Scroll to “Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” and deactivate it.

@Deleted Guess I was a couple of minutes late on my reply!

Hi@Deleted ,
That setting is not enabled by default in SharePoint Online, like you I have not touched that setting on many, many tenants.

Hi @Andrew Hodges - the Limited Use Lockdown mode feature gets enabled if you activate the publishing infrastructure feature.
(We've run into this before because of that.)
