I need to give users the ability to share files but not edit, add or delete anything - I have tried everything I can think of and tried the other solutions online.
We need to share outside of our organization with only viewing ability.

Any advise?

Thank you!

    Based on your description, I understand that you want to share files with external users. As the same time, external users cannot edit files.

    1.Enable external sharing in the tenant level. Go to SharePoint admin center -> Polices -> Sharing -> Set Anyone in the Content can be shared with section.

    2.Enable external sharing in the tenant site level. Go to SharePoint admin center -> Sites -> Active sites -> Select the site -> Sharing -> Set Anyone in the External sharing.
