Hi,
we want to share certain folders with clients via a link.
UPDATE: This is a group / shared team folder!
It shows me a message when I click "share" that my admin has to allow this for our organization
However, looking into our admin it is enabled:
How can we fix this?
I have tried clicking on everything possible

2020-08-05T13:10:06.843+00:00 As I said, for Groups/Teams this is the expected behavior.

2020-08-05T08:35:33.51+00:00 You should enable external sharing in both tenant level and site level.
1.Tenant level:
SharePoint admin center -> Polices -> Sharing -> Set “Least permissive” as Anyone.
2.Site level:
SharePoint admin center -> Active site -> Find your site -> Sharing -> Set “External sharing” as Anyone.
Also make sure that the Limited-access user permission lockdown mode feature in the site collection features is deactivated.
