Can I share a personal OneDrive folder with a business account? As far as I know, you cannot directly share OneDrive personal folders with Business, why? Because OneDrive personal and OneDrive Business are different.

Microsoft OneDrive is designed to separate personal and business accounts for security, privacy, and organizational reasons. Sharing directly between OneDrive Personal and OneDrive for Business (associated with a work or school account) is not natively supported. Each type of OneDrive is associated with a different set of services, policies, and security measures.
