These three Microsoft 365 tools work together, but each has a clear job once you know the difference.
// WINDOWS PCS ONLY
We do not support OneDrive on Apple Macs, iPads or iPhones. Apple does not allow our remote-support tool to take control of an iPad or iPhone (an Apple restriction), and our remote support covers Windows PCs only. On an Apple device, Microsoft’s own OneDrive help is the place to start.
OneDrive vs SharePoint
OneDrive is your personal work drive — files only you need. SharePoint is shared team storage — documents the whole team or business works on. Saving shared files in SharePoint, not personal OneDrive, avoids losing access when someone leaves.
Where Teams fits
Teams is the front door for chat, calls and meetings — and it actually stores its shared files in SharePoint behind the scenes. Used well together, they keep your team organised and your files in the right place.
Key points
- OneDrive = your personal work files
- SharePoint = shared team and business files
- Teams = chat, calls and meetings
- Keep shared files in SharePoint, not personal OneDrive
