It's important
that your business documents are secure, available from any device, and can be easily shared
between employees and customers. You can accomplish this
with OneDrive and SharePoint both of which are part of your
Microsoft 365 subscription. Let's take a look at each and when to use them at your company. Use OneDrive to store your
individual or personal files. You're the only one who can
see and edit these files unless you choose to
share them with others. It's tightly integrated
with apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, so it's a
convenient place to store and access your documents. On the other hand, use
SharePoint when you have a team of people working on files together. Unlike OneDrive, everyone with access to the SharePoint site
can see each other's work. With SharePoint, you can
work on your documents from the SharePoint
site or from Teams files since they point to the same location. In addition, you can create
libraries, pages, workflows, and change the permissions
for your documents. Since SharePoint is more of
a content management system, it's ideal for team or
project collaboration. Let's look at examples of each. Use OneDrive to create private
or sensitive information such as confidential business
plans, financial records, or performance reviews. Use SharePoint to create
collaborative documents such as company policies,
project schedules, and training materials that
everyone can work on together. Whether you're using
OneDrive or SharePoint, your team can work on business documents while securely managing them in the cloud.
