As an administrator, you can set basic permissions for:

III. FAQs
If the external sharing settings are changed, will it affect the organization's existing documents?
Yes, it will. Documents that have already been created will follow the latest settings. For example, if the organization was originally set to External sharing is not allowed, documents created by members couldn't be shared outside of the organization. However, if the settings are later changed to Allow the content to be shared externally, members can share these documents outside of the organization.
How can documents be shared externally?
If an administrator has allowed members to share files and folders with external users, then members can share documents externally. To learn ways documents can be shared externally, visit Share documents with external members and Share documents and folders using a link.
