Students, faculty and staff can use SharePoint 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.
When to use Microsoft Teams or SharePoint
- Files that will be shared with team members (e.g. team or project documents, formal collaborations with others).
- Workflows are needed to assign list items or documents to others to take action on or to collect feedback.
- You want to create custom permission levels for confidential information.
- App and service integration (e.g. line-of-business applications, Power Apps, Power Automate or Power BI).
- Advanced versioning is required.
When to use OneDrive for Business
- Files that will not be shared (e.g. documents that no one else needs to see, draft documents or personal expense reports).
- Files that will be shared with limited scope (e.g. articles or documents you want to informally review).
- Basic versioning is sufficient.
When to use OneDrive Personal (subscriptions unaffiliated with the University)
- Files that are exclusively personal files (e.g. family photos or recipes).
- Files will be shared with family, acquaintances and others who do not work at the University.
