  • No. Everything in terms of groups has to be local. You may be able to setup a sync that syncs an external group and local group.

  • Everyting in your ActiveDirectory has to be local. With Microsoft 365, you can setup a sync. In that case, it synchronises M365 groups with on-premise groups and then it creates a local group with a link to the M365 group to automatically make changes on both ends. In a group, you also need the users to be the same, so if this is for external contacts, then you most likely can't do it with sync anyway.

  • You can create a contact with the email address of the external distribution list. You can then email to that contact to auto-forward it to that distribution list. Is that what you want?

  • Basically I have SharePoint folder that I need to share with my customer's external email address. But that email is actually a distribution list and not a normal account. Customer uses that DL so I don't have to assign multiple users with permissions to the folder and customer can choose who will be in the DL.
