Sharepoint: External Sharing Difficulties

Hi,
Our company has Office365 for zimmo.be, our HQ also has Office365 mediahuis.be
Those are separate accounts.
When person x@zimmo.be wants to invite y@mediahuis.be, we get this error (see attachment)

In the config I tried both:
-Allow users to invite and share with auth. external users
-Allow sharing to auth. external users and using anonymous access links

What did I do wrong?
tnx

that looks correct - so if you are still seeing an error when trying to share with a user from max-immo.pro or mediahuis.be domains, I would suggest raising a support ticket.

So it sounds like you have configured the tenant level external sharing settings correctly.

It is worth checking the settings at the SharePoint site collection level. See here:
