Should I use SharePoint or OneDrive for Business?
OneDrive for Business is a cloud storage platform that is allocated per user account and is designed for personal collaboration. When a file is uploaded to OneDrive for Business it is associated to that person's OneDrive account. If you have a set of resources that should be managed/owned by a group of individuals, we recommend using SharePoint or Teams for that purpose.
