What is the difference between OneDrive and SharePoint?

OneDrive is centered on an individual's working files; SharePoint supports shared organizational content.

Answer

OneDrive is generally suited to files owned and managed by an individual, including work in progress. SharePoint is designed for team-owned documents, collaboration sites, policies, and information that must remain with the organization when employees change roles. Microsoft Teams often uses SharePoint behind the scenes for shared channel files.
