Sharing lists with others outside your organization

I recently decided to finally move from Wunder to To-do . It is a work account but I also have some personal lists to share with my wife (Ie.g. groceries). How do I share lists with her? if I invit...

Thanks for asking. I have not heard updates and it's still not working. Several of us have been trying and not hearing from Microsoft. Also, note there are TWO suggestions for this to be opened up, so please VOTE ON BOTH. They're also not combining the two suggestions which would be the best way.

I just converted yesterday from wonderful Wunderlist.  I guess I'll have to find another app now.  I have lists for work and personal.  Most of these people on my personal side will not be getting a Microsoft account just to use the app nor can I force them.  I can't share outside of my organization with my wife, and does have a Microsoft 365 account.  So, disheartening that MS takes a great product and throws it in the garbage.

    Any update here? I still can’t share lists with my wife. This is a complete deal-breaker. I’ve loved so much about Teams, but now I’m actively being punished for paying for Office 365. It’d be MORE functional if we used gmail for the business and signed up for a free Teams account! 🤦🏼‍:male_sign:🤦🏼‍:male_sign:🤦🏼‍:male_sign:

    Hi all. Wanted to let you know that I have been able to use Todoist to share lists across the family without everyone having to have the same email domain

      May I ask you you were able to share MS To do with family members not with the same MS domain?

        Unfortunately No. 

        Tried a bunch of different things... all sub-optimal.

        Currently, I run 2 accounts... and have to sign out and in review/change personal list and then out and in to return to work account.... rather nuts.

        I certainly, get there are significant security implications here... but "can't get there from here" is not believable.

      Todoist is outstanding... but I am forced to use outlook as my calendar and only having a one-way sync with Todoist with Outlook is just too annoying for me.
      Maybe Microsoft will acquire Todoist and wreck that one too 😉

        i use MS Todo for work. I also now have Todoist for family sharing. It is a bit of a pain to have 2 different software Products, but I found this to be the least painful.
