    Not sure why the MS employee wouldn't post this Microsoft Message.

    Such a promising tool...
    but such a downer for not being able to share with external users! I can understand the challenge of managing security though.
    Looking forward to some update.
    Notify us!

    Hi All, I have thought of a work around solution which may work if you have ~20 people you need to use.

    It's a bit long winded but:

    • set up a user in 365 admin center for each user you need to add.
    • purchase a free trial for a 365 product (so they get a mail box)
    • invite each user into your loops workspace
    • give each user access the log in for one of the temp accounts
    • have them sign in to OWA and click on the link
    • when the trial is coming to a close, purchase a trial for one of the other 365 products.
    • I believe with all the e3, e5, business basic etc trials, you could activate trial licenses for ~6 months. hopefully by them MS will have solved this issue.

    *again, this is not ideal, but if you do want to use Loops, this should work.

    If your company is in a position to just purchase licenses for each user, than of course that is a better option. However I am an unregistered NGO and purchasing 21 licenses for my volunteers just for loops seems silly. I will of course look in to purchasing licenses once I am a registered NGO and have set up as a non for profit in Azure
