Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft SharePoint, while different tools, can work together seamlessly.

Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud-based personal file storage service. This tool is ideal for an individual to use as a default file-saving location. It can be synced with the desktop so all documents are easily available both offline and online. This is best for documents you do not want others in your organization to have visibility of. However, you are able to share with small groups or specific individuals for collaboration if needed. Microsoft Teams provides a platform to chat, share, and work on files, as well as make announcements, host meetings, and more. This tool is available on Desktop, Web, and Mobile, allowing team members to stay connected and centralizing communication even when working remotely. Teams is great for file collaboration and includes a multitude of add-on’s. Lastly, Microsoft SharePoint Online is a web-based information management platform. The platform includes communication sites which are typically used to allow a small group of contributors to publish information to a wider group of readers, and team sites which are more suited to a small group of collaborators who are all actively contributing.
