Everyone external Share permission in SharePoint Online per note from MS Support
Hey Freddy Bang,
I have an answer for you :) By default, the value of the ShowEveryoneClaim is "unspecified". Get-SPOTenant returns the "effective" value in this case, which is currently "true". After this change goes live, the "effective" value of "unspecified" will be False. We're going to update the documentation to make this more clear (keep an eye out for that in the next few days).
In the meantime, if you want to keep the current behavior, you should explicitly set the value to True via PowerShell.
I'm not sure if this counts as a "clear" understanding but I hope it helps! Let me know if this doesn't make sense!

Hi Freddy,
I think I can give you the relevant info here:
If you want documents that are shared with "Everyone" to continue to be accessible by external users (present and future), then run:
Set-SPOTenant -ShowEveryoneClaim $true
If you want documents that are shared with "Everyone" to only be accessible by internal users, then run:
Set-SPOTenant -ShowEveryoneClaim $false
Hope that helps!

Thanks StephenRice,
I assume I have to look at the documentation for https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/get-spotenant?view=sharepoint-ps and/or https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4089534/how-to-grant-the-everyone-claim-to-external-users-in-office-365 or where to keep looking?
