Someone help me do most basic thing ever in O365, share folder with everyone

guyinpv

I must be stupid but I can't seem to share a OneDrive folder with all the users in O365.
MS clearly has an Everyone and Everyone except external users groups. I go to share a folder and share it with the Everyone group, and nothing happens. It doesn't notify users, doesn't invite them, doesn't add the folder to 'shared with me', doesn't show up in sync etc.

What am I doing wrong here? I have O365 for Business. All I want is for this "Everyone" group to work so I can share folders with all users in the O365 account.

Or are they saying I can only share folders one user at a time all the time? Is the Everyone group just fake and unusable or something?

I don’t believe everyone is a security group just a DL...

You might want to just put everyone in a new security group and assign priveldges that way to the library or folder.

This is what my sharing screen looks like.

@guyinpv It doesn't work that way. Went down that road years back.

Take a look at the below:

It is what @Dashrender noted. The options are as below:

Select the down arrow to choose permissions for the link you will be sharing. Options include:

Anyone (if your organization allows it)
People in your organization
Specific people

He's covering it up.

Sorry, was joking.

@Dashrender's process only creates a shared link.

It does not just make the folder show up in everyone else's OneDrive. So if a shared link is good enough for you, then it will work.
