Hi there

Our SharePoint Online Admin > Policies > Sharing > is set to "Existing Guests".

How to add more/additional external users, so a specific site can be shared with them?

Thank you.

@frob,

After enable external sharing at the organization level, make sure you also allow it at site level:

Then you could share site with people outside the organization directly:

More information for your reference:

---------------------------------------------------Update-----------------------------------------------------------------

From your decsription, it looks like you select the "Existing guests only" in site external sharing:

For this situation, we can go to Microsoft 365 admin center>choose Guest users under Users tab>Add a guest user>redirct to the Azure AD New user page to invite a guest user:

Hi Julie

I tried above and it lets me add external users to an SP site only when they already exist in our AD. How to add even more users to AD?

Thank you.
