SharePoint Online External users redirected to ADFS sign-in page
Some of our external users are experiencing weird behavior when trying to sign-in. Login flow is "User browse the site url --> enter their external signin address --> Choose 'Microsoft Account' as the account type --> Enter their password --> They get redirected to organizations ADFS sign-on page --> user enter their password and keep getting the wrong userid or password message. I have checked in AAD portal and user is added as a 'Guest'. However, I can't understand why user is getting redirected to ADFS SSO page. As an external user with Microsoft account, user should authenticate with Microsoft Live ID, not with ADFS.

Cannot add external users to sharepoint site group
I need help I am trying to share a site using option below https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/turn-external-sharing-on-or-off Allow sharing only with the external users that already exist in your organization's directory Allow sharing only for external users who are already in your directory. These users may exist in your directory because they previously accepted sharing invitations or because they were manually imported, such as through https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-what-is-azure-ad-b2b. (You can tell an external user because they have #EXT# in their user name.) I created the user (GUESTA) in Azure and they accepted the invite to join the org as a guest https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/b2b/what-is-b2b PROBLEM 1 : GUESTA cannot be found in sharepoint when trying to add them to the site visitors group. (see attached) WORKAROUND : If I send the site URL to GUESTA via email they can "request access" to the site at which point they do show up for that site only. PROBLEM 2 : even after the workaround GUESTA is cannot be found for any other site, only the single site. ANSWER NEEDED : how can I make GUESTA show up and be selectable for all sites?

New External Sharing Experience
Good day I have shared a library in SharePoint online with an external user, the user logs in with his Microsoft account and can access the documents, however he can only open a document in the browser and not in excel or word directly to edit. the Library and site collection is set to open in client application. External user has edit permissions. Our company is using Office 365, is there a way user can edit directly in client application and not online? Also would it be possible for the user to sync the shared library? Thank you
