SharePoint issues

Question

Hello 

 

Please i need your help on this issue. 

 

We shared a OneDrive folder with our client (external), and one of the people we've shared with can't access it.

 

He gets an error code that says that didn't work (I'll include a picture of the error). Our permissions are set to "Anyone with a link can edit" and it's password protected.

 

We need to figure out why he can't access the folder and make it to where he can access it.

Hi @SAT TECH ,

Thank you for posting in this community.

Your error screenshot describes: user not in directory. Possible reason for not integrating SharePoint and OneDrive with Microsoft Entra B2B.

As said in this article: Overview of external sharing in SharePoint and OneDrive in Microsoft 365, there are two external sharing models used in SharePoint and OneDrive:

• SharePoint external authentication
• SharePoint and OneDrive integration with Microsoft Entra B2B

Your tenant will automatically create a guest user after enabling SharePoint and OneDrive integration with Microsoft Entra B2B. External users can then access files or folders through the Anyone share link.

To enable SharePoint and OneDrive integration with Microsoft Entra B2B, you can use the following cmdlets:

Connect-SPOService -Url https://yourdomain-admin.sharepoint.com
Set-SPOTenant -EnableAzureADB2BIntegration
