OneDrive = your personal cloud storage space

• Think of OneDrive as your personal online hard drive.
• Each user has his or her own private space.
• Designed for individual work, drafts and personal files.
• You can share files, but it's not designed for a team structure.
• Ideal for: personal files, work drafts, private documents.

SharePoint = storage for teams and companies

• SharePoint is more like an enterprise shared drive with a structure.
• It is used for teams, departments and companies as a whole.
• It includes websites, shared libraries and authorization controls.
• Files are stored for all persons who have access to this site.
• Ideal for: corporate assets, team collaboration, shared folders.

💡 How they work together

• Although they are different tools, they use the same backend storage system in Microsoft 365.
• When you save a file on OneDrive, it's stored in your personal storage space.
• When you save a file to SharePoint, it is stored in the team's shared storage space.
• When using Teams, the "Files" tab actually corresponds to SharePoint.
