OneDrive vs Sharepoint vs Groups vs Teams

Still I'm on the search what to choose what is useful for our HRM departement to share files.

 

We've got 2 to 4 employees who have documents, which they created or customize seperately or together at the same time.

The files are on a file server, protected by NTFS security and the users are in specific HRM AD Security Groups.

 

Now we want to move all this to Office365 and get rid of the file server.

So what I want is a similar environment as our file server we used. So do I put all these files in a seperate HRM folder on OneDrive for Business and secure it down with security rights, or do I use SharePoint for this or even go to use Groups or Teams, the relative new objects in Office365.

 

Ik hope someone can give me a solid answer to that and explain why to choose for that solution, so I can discuss this with the HRM employees!

 

Thanks in advance,

Ronald

    If this is a dedicated group of people that have conversations/collaborate with each other, based on what I see here I'd go with a Group.

    If they dont need conversations, planner, notebook, to help in whatever management of the documents they are doing, (meaning you ONLY require a place to put the files period) I would go with a simple SharePoint site

    Too simple a use case IMO for Teams

    Definitely never use OneDrive for group collaboration like this, if whoever's onedrive you choose leaves the company, those files would be lost unless you moved them somewhere else.
