Ok I have O365 on 2 win 10 laptops. I've set sharepoint up. But its different on each laptop.

I have sharepoint tab in explorer that points to my onedrive business folder. On one laptop but not the other.???

This all stems from trying to share via sharepoint a team site across my staff and and external company.

I only need to share 2 folders and god willing a calendar.

But I also need this to work across both my laptops.

any ideas or have I fudged this up from the start
 
You need to provide a bit more detail, are you trying to sync your SharePoint document library to the two laptops? If so it sounds like you are using the old groove based sync client on one computer and perhaps the new sync client on the other. You should be using the new sync client and this should show your org name in explorer. Let us know if this is the case and we can advise further.

Quite possibly. I did an update on the missing laptop and it came up with a message saying I'm using a newer version of O365. How would I check this.

I have no issues starting again.

I have a sharepoint calendar that is syncing to my desktop outlook on both laptops and onto a member of staffs. But I cant get it to sync to someone outside our organisation. I can share it via an email link but when they open it in outlook it just adds a blank calendar.

Open any office program and go File > Office Account > Office updates to see if you have the latest desktop apps. Are the email accounts in office 365 exchange?

EDIT: Have you enabled external calendar sharing? https://support.office.com/en-gb/ar...al-users-fb00dd4e-2d5f-4e8d-8ff4-94b2cf002bdd

Re Edit: I have now. But wont know if that worked until tomorrow.

Office 365 exchange. Probably not. I'm using a mixture of 123reg and Vidahost for my emails.....I wouldn't know where to start with exchange

Outlook apps etc are all up to date too
 
You won't be able to share an Outlook Calendar unless it's within O365 (you'd have to share that from whichever provider hosts your mail, although the process is the same). If it's a SharePoint calendar, that's different, and can be setup quite easily.

As nightmare99 suggests, there is a "fits all" OneDrive Client, but popular to contrary believe it has not been rolled out fully and depends on the build version of the Windows laptop as to whether you have it or not.

Go to Office 365 portal > SharePoint Admin > Sharing

The settings there are pretty obvious so you should be OK from here on
