Guest users are not showing in document library
Hello Jakob -
Please refer to this doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-dire
ctory/active-directory-b2b-faq. See the question about SPO people picker:
Are B2B collaboration guest users visible in SharePoint Online/OneDrive people picker?
Yes! However, the ability to search for existing guest users in the SharePoint Online people picker is OFF by default to match legacy behavior. You can enable this using the setting 'ShowPeoplePickerSuggestionsForGuestUsers' at the tenant and site collection level. This can be set using the Set-SPOTenant and Set-SPOSite cmdlets, which allow members to search all existing guest users in the directory. Changes in the tenant scope do not affect already provisioned SharePoint Online sites.
Please run the above mentioned cmdlets to see the added users in the picker and let us know if that worked for you!

I never did find the ShowPeoplePickerSuggestionsForGuestUsers feature on either commandlet. I did get it working this way, though I really don't understand why.
- User created via Azure AD New guest user feature
- Goto SPO and click Share (or add to a user group in SPO)
- Enter the users email address, same as the one used in step 1.
This works. After I did this, I also was able to find the user via their display name in the people picker.
Danny CheungThis is probably from the cache of browser or outlook contact cache.
- I’m pretty sure that it is not for two reasons. First, I do all of this administrative work in and in private browser. Second, these are email addresses that I have never seen before or emailed before. They are a list of users sent in from a client partner company.
As a sidenote, what I have started doing is inviting all users to AzureAD using powershell and then adding those invited users to sharepoint groups that have already been added to the document library, also via powershell.
