Option Share content with external users not available

I'm trying to share a workspace to external users (contracted developer), I followed a solution online which is to enable the first option in the Export & Sharing settings section which is "Share content with external users"; however this  option is not available on my Admin portal (see below), please advise.

Hi  @ifseadmin ,

According to the documentation:

What you want is the option "Invite external users to your organization", "Share content with external users" is the previous name.

This is the documentation link:

The location is under admin portal – Tenant settings - Export and sharing settings:

Thanks for the suggestion but I already had this option turned on as you can see in the image I posted (Enabled for entired organization).  I enabled the first 3 option in this category but still didn't work, when I tried to add in the email address for an external resource, I get the error that the email domain is not in my organization.
