Hello Thomas,

Thanks for your response.
It is great that you have started using the system already.

If you are using MS Teams, you are already using SharePoint Online, since all the files and everything are getting stored on SharePoint Team Site.
For now, you can use MS Teams as you are using and you can leverage the platform, no need to worry about SharePoint Online right away 🙂
Slowly your Organization will be there.

Let me know in case if you have any other queries.
If I was able to help you with the information i provided, I would like to request to mark it as a Response.

Thanks!

Good evening Abhishek_kum1 ,

Thank you so much for the explanation, this helped me a lot!

In the beginning it will be just my colleague and myself, so I don't need a complex server system with different teams. I made a test in Microsoft Teams where I made one Team, and in the "Files" section I would place all the documents, sorted for each project (see example attached). Like you said Onedrive I will keep using but only for my personal files.

I managed to place the Microsoft Teams folder also in my Windows File Explorer to have that "classic" feel, and with the Microsoft Teams app I also see everyting on my smartphone. Everything also synchronizes fast without problems. I think I'll give it a try like this, what do you think? And is it more recommended to work in Microsoft Teams or in SharePoint? Since the Team in Microsoft Teams also has a Sharepoint Site, I guess you can work in both?

Kind regards,

Thomas Soete
