SharePoint & OneDrive

SharePoint & OneDrive

This section covers how we store, share, and access files across the organization.

OneDrive is your personal work storage — similar to a private folder or jump drive — while SharePoint is where teams and departments keep shared files. You’ll access both directly through File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac), no browser required.

Topics in this section include:

  • When to use OneDrive vs. SharePoint

  • Accessing shared folders from your computer

  • What the sync status icons mean

  • How to know where your files are stored and who can access them

If you're used to a mapped drive or file server, SharePoint will feel familiar — but smarter, and backed by Microsoft 365.
