When should I use OneDrive vs SharePoint?
While OneDrive and SharePoint both provide an online space to access files, their broader use is what separates them. OneDrive is a cloud storage solution that people mainly use to create an online backup of their files. SharePoint is predominantly an online document management system and communication site.
Use OneDrive if you are looking to take all your files from your computer and upload them to online file storage.
Use SharePoint if you need an enterprise-level product to manage documents and create intranet pages.
