OneDrive vs. SharePoint
What is OneDrive vs. SharePoint?
OneDrive is your personal file storage in Microsoft 365 — files you sync from your own computer and control access to. SharePoint is for company-wide files and team sites that multiple people collaborate on, with shared permissions and version history.
Why OneDrive vs. SharePoint Matters
Files left in personal OneDrive vanish when an employee leaves, taking company data with them. Knowing which one to use keeps collaboration smooth and offboarding painless — OneDrive for personal drafts, SharePoint for anything the team needs.
