Groups Guest access and SharePoint access
Hi Salvatore,
Well I am happy to say that I figured out how to get External Sharing for Guests working for my groups Office 365 Team Site.
Scenario-
Unable to Share a Group Folder or File with External Users (Guest)
Guest Sharing Enabled at the Tenant Level - Yes
Executing Set-SPOSite -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing - Did not work, message still indicated I needed to EnableGuestSharing at the Tenant Level (Although it already was).
What worked for me was executing the following command from PS to enable guest sharing.
set-spotenant -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
then running this against the site I want to enable guest sharing
set-sposite https://site.sharepoint.com/teams/development -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
Long story short, although guest sharing was enabled in the Admin Center, for whatever reason, PS still saw this setting as "off". By enabling this setting using SET-SPOTenant worked.
Happy to know that you solved the issue!
Regards.
