User can share OneDrive docs with some internal users, but not others
Hello everyone,
I have a user who can share an Excel file with some users, but not others and these are all internal users. We just cut over people's OneDrive and Emails over to another tennant, if that has something to do with it. The sharing permission level is New and External users for both SharePoint and OneDrive. I have verified that the user is in the new one drive. I don't understand it and from what I am seeing is that there is nothing that should prevent this user from sharing with other internal users. What would be causing someone to be able to share with one internal user, but not another?

Can you define what this means? Can the user1 not find user2? Or when the file is shared by user1, user2 is not able to access it?
If it is the latter, make sure that those users are signed in as, "Work/School" and not, "Personal"? Have those users sign out of OneDrive, close it and then sign back in making sure to select, "Work/School" and see if that helps.
To fix a problem where a user can share an Excel file with some internal users but not others, you should check if the user has appropriate permissions, if there are access controls or restrictions in place, if there are tenant settings that may be preventing file sharing, and if the user has properly synced their OneDrive account with the new tenant. Once the cause is identified, appropriate actions can be taken to resolve the problem.
