What is the Difference Between SharePoint and OneDrive?
OneDrive is the files experience for Microsoft 365 and the SharePoint Server, giving you access to all your work or school files, including the files that people share with you directly or through the teams you're working on. It makes the connection with SharePoint and your computer's File Explorer. OneDrive provides a consistent, intuitive files experience across all your devices, including web, mobile, and the desktop of your Windows PC or Mac. You need to log into OneDrive first to access your documents on SharePoint.
SharePoint in Microsoft 365 provides the content services for all files in Microsoft 365, including files you work with in Teams and Outlook. SharePoint is always there, helping manage and protect your files, and powering content collaboration across Microsoft 365.
With both OneDrive and SharePoint in Microsoft 365, all your files are stored in the cloud. You can sync either OneDrive or SharePoint files to your computer.
