Where you can store documents in Office 365

  • OneDrive is designed for individual use, with the occasional sharing of files.
  • A SharePoint team site is designed for sharing and collaborating on files regularly. A team site is ideal for storing files that have shared ownership where several people own the files and might collaborate on them.
  • Both OneDrive and team sites provide anywhere access for you and your employees.
  • Only you can access files or folders stored in your OneDrive for Business until you share them with any user. You can share a file or folder that automatically send the link via email to access shared files & folders.
