    Hi @Rising Flight ,

    First of all, we need to allow external sharing at the organization level, then allow external sharing on the team site.

    Please check following steps to enable the organization-level and site level external sharing settings:

    1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center as Global admin or SharePoint admin, then browse to the SharePoint admin center and open the Sharing page.(For which options to select, please refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/turn-external-sharing-on-or-off#which-option-to-select)
