OneDrive
Use OneDrive to store your own files. You have 1TB of storage and can access your files no matter where you are or what device you are using. You can share files or folders with other people. You own the files and decide the type of permissions, but the recipient has access to them and the latest version if you change it.
WEBINAR ON ONEDRIVE
The video is 21 minutes long and has Swedish and English subtitles. Turn on subtitles by clicking the T button, and change language by clicking on the gear.
Teams
Use Teams to share files with a group, project or office. All participants own all the files unless other permissions are set. Teams is a simple way of working together on files. All members of the group can edit the files at the same time, and they will always have the most recent version. The files used in Teams are also stored in Sharepoint as a group website is automatically created in the background when a team is created.

Sharepoint
It is possible to choose a team site in Sharepoint without creating a team in Teams. Sharepoint enables you to move and copy files to other team sites at the University, move them on an existing team site, or share them externally. You can also control the authorisations for shared files and folders.

What is the difference between Teams and Sharepoint?
We recommend creating a Sharepoint team site if your main need is to be able to store shared files. However, if you also need to collaborate and communicate with each other, then we recommend using Teams. If you have a Sharepoint team site and later decide that you would like to use Teams, then you can add your Teams group to the site retroactively.
Which storage service is the right one?
To summarise, OneDrive is used for your own material, whereas Teams and Sharepoint are more suitable for shared files within a working team. If you have shared files via OneDrive, and later stop working at Umeå University, they will no longer be shared. If you have been using Teams or Sharepoint, people will still have access to the file.
