Hi All,
Today we will see about SharePoint Online. Let's say you have been asked to share a content (file or site or anything). Now these two words come into picture "everyone" and "everyone except external users".
Want to get more details about "External Users" - Check here
When a user is added to Office 365, the user automatically becomes a member of Everyone except external users. The important thing we have to note is that, By default, the Everyone except external users group is added to the Members group on the SharePoint Team Site. It is automatically assigned a permission level of Contribute. This means all users who are added to Office 365 can view, add, update, and delete items from lists and libraries.
If you want to change the permission levels for this group, you can remove it from the Members group and then add it to a group that uses different permissions. For example, you might add the Everyone except external users to the SharePoint Visitors group. This automatically assigns a Read permission level to all users in the Everyone except external users group.
And there is a difference between "everyone" and "everyone except external users".
Everyone:
All users no matter whether they are authenticated to access the SharePoint Online. For example, you share a document with everyone, and then all users can anonymously access the document as if they have the document URL.
Everyone except external users:
All internal user accounts which can be recognized by SharePoint Online.
And we have some limitations while using these groups.
Share me your feedback :)
Have a good day :)

And we have some limitations while using these groups.
- While sharing some content with either of these groups, you can't send invitation mail for them.
- You can't remove a user from either of these groups. Say, you want to share a document with all the persons except some few people. You can't go and delete those specific users. For this situation you have to create a new SharePoint group and add all the users you want in that.
