OneDrive vs SharePoint. When to use which for your files

OneDrive is your personal file cabinet. Save your own work there and share individual files with people. SharePoint is your team's filing system. Put shared projects there so everyone works from the same place. If it's just you, use OneDrive.

OneDrive and SharePoint do similar things but serve different purposes. OneDrive is personal. Your files, your space, you decide who sees what. SharePoint is for teams. Everyone accesses the same files, everyone works together, and all permissions are controlled by the team. Both live in Microsoft 365, both sync to your desktop, and both keep your files in the cloud.
