OneDrive and SharePoint use the same engine but solve different problems. OneDrive is your personal work drive; SharePoint is your team's shared library. Here's when to use each — and how they work together.
Sync a SharePoint folder to File Explorer so it works like any local folder — or add it as a OneDrive shortcut. The two methods, when to pick which, and how to fix sync issues.
Create a folder in a SharePoint document library — from the web, from File Explorer, or from Microsoft Teams. Plus when to use folders vs metadata, and how to enable folders if they're disabled.
Create a SharePoint list from scratch, from a template, from Excel, or from another existing list — then add columns, set view, and start tracking data.
Build a modern SharePoint page — pick a template, add sections and web parts (text, image, news, list, video), then publish to your team or company.
Create a new SharePoint site in Microsoft 365 — choose between a team site and a communication site, pick a template, set permissions, and add it to your hub.
Delete a SharePoint site safely — back it up, understand what gets deleted along with it (group, Teams, OneNote), recover it from the 93-day bin, or permanently purge.
Export a SharePoint list to Excel as a one-shot CSV or as a live Power Query connection — plus how to refresh it, export selected rows, and fix common formatting issues.
Sync a SharePoint library or folder with OneDrive so files live in File Explorer, sync across all your devices, and work offline — using Sync, Add shortcut to OneDrive, or both.
