Students, faculty and staff can use SharePoint Online to manage projects, build collaboration portals, post and manage files and documents, share calendars, and access online forums and shared resources.
Using Microsoft Teams or Groups? Teams and Office 365 Groups automatically use SharePoint to store and share files. In Microsoft Teams, access SharePoint from the Files tab. For Office 365 Groups, open the group in Outlook Online, click the ellipses under the group name, then click Site.
