A Microsoft 365 group makes sharing files easy by including a dedicated library, which is the primary place for storing all your group files.
When you create a file or folder in the group's library, all members of the group will be able to access it. When you add new members to the group, including guests (external users), they too will be able to access the files. By default, group members have view/edit access to the files, while everyone else in your organization has view access.

Share group files with guests
You can share group files with guests by attaching any file stored in your group library. See Guest access in Microsoft 365 Groups for information.
If, when sharing group files with guests, you see a message informing you that attachments to guests are blocked, your guest will not be able to open the shared files until your tenant admin enables file sharing for guests.
Post files to the group library
Any time you post a file to the group document library, it will be accessible to all group members. Just drag it from your computer to the group's library. See Upload files to a library for more information.
If the file you want to share is already in your document library, you can keep it where it is and invite the group to it.
