I have a staff person who is collaborating with people who are not on staff. She’s been sharing O365 SharePoint documents and folders successfully for a long time. She successfully shared a particular document with someone but suddenly the person she shared with is getting the following error:<br />
“That didn’t work. We’re sorry, but username@gmail.com can’t be found in the sharepoint.com directory”<br />
<br />
I &nbsp;would have assumed an account for the external user in the form of: username_gmail.com#EXT#@ou<wbr />rdomain.co<wbr />m would have been created. but it didn't. I see lots of other user names in that form.

How do Office 365 usernames that contain #EXT# get created?

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.
