Share with anyone with the link setting is grey out, why?
Hi all
I happened to find that the 'anyone with the link' option in Share action is grey out.
I checked the sharing settings and all looks fine. Did I miss something?

Works fine here. Don't forget that the sharing settings can be configured on the individual SC level, so even if the org-wide settings allow anonymous sharing overall, some SC/ODFB libraries might not have the option available.
In my case, I can share just fine from my personal ODFB or from a generic SPO site. I get the same behavior as you when I try to share from a Comm site or Group/Team one. When I look at the settings of the corresponding SC though, I see this:
SharingCapability : ExistingExternalUserSharingOnly
So it seems working as expected.
What Vasil said.
In addition to this, all Office 365 groups default to Anyone link being off.
So you have to enable that in the Sharing Capabilities either through SPO Admin center, or Powershell via set-sposite "siteurl" -sharingcapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing

To help future readers of this thread, as of this post, to enable the Sharing Capabilities through SPO Admin center:
Go to O365 Admin -> SharePoint -> Sites --> Active Sites. Select the team whose site you want to enable then at the top choose Sharing. The window that opens gives you the option to enable share with Anyone.- Jeff Ballard
Thanks for updating it works good for Team. However even though the settings for the team are updated "share with anyone" still remains greyed out in a channel within the Team. Can I get help on how to fix this
- Yeah! I know this! Although my business OneDrive was greyed out this morning, but it’s fine now! Not sure if this was the case with the original post or what you said, but it must be a hell of a coincidence then 😂
