The short answer is that it depends on your requirements. To decide which one will suit you better, you need to first understand the difference between OneDrive and SharePoint.

OneDrive is similar to an online file cabinet where you can add or upload files, share them with specific people, and keep documents synced on all your devices.

SharePoint is more of a collaboration tool for teams. It stores everything related to a team—files, document libraries, news, plans, and apps—in the team’s corresponding site to ensure seamless access to the resources and data required to complete tasks.

Let’s consider some use cases. If you’re working on a file all by yourself and need it to just be reviewed by someone, you can store it in OneDrive. If you’re trying to build a time table for a team, it makes sense to put it on a team site where members can access and edit the file.

Also, if a file that you were individually working on becomes relevant to a team, you can move it from OneDrive to SharePoint.
