    @Glenn Maxwell

    OneDrive is an online document/file storage platform. It’s typically used as a central location to store and access files. SharePoint is a collaboration tool for businesses that need multiple individuals and teams to work on documents and products at the same time.

    In other word, OneDrive is better for individual projects and SharePoint is best suited for teams.

    The following table shows that SharePoint Online limits and boundaries:

    You could refer to this article Guide to the modern experience in SharePoint to view more information.

    Thanks,
