Difference between One Drive, Groups and Sharepoint to store files to store company files

Question

Hi,

We are in the process if setting up a company and trying to figure out what is the best option for storing files.

One Drive, Groups or Sharepoint site.

Does anyone have a comparison chart or could explain the differences?

Thanks,

Rick

Answer 1

Hi Rick,

For the team cooperation, I suggest you store the files in a group site or a team site as you can share the files with the users in your organization. The OneDrive for Business library is mostly for users to store their private files. Moreover, the group site and the team site are slightly different. The group site can work with some features in Outlook Web App designed for the team members to proactively participate in the team activities and discussions. However, if you want to use more features of the site in SharePoint Online, I suggest you use a team site instead.

For your reference: Should I save my documents to OneDrive for Business or a team site?
