Difference between two SharePoint Sites
Hello PetersDave
this are different site templates, team site (groups connected) will be used for M365 Goups or Microsoft Teams, a team site (not groups connected) is a SharePoint site only, without any other M365 services like exchange, entra id or planner. The url /sites/ or /teams/ is only an aid for better visualization.
Here are an article about this topic: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/community/team-site-or-communication-site?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845
I have updated the article with more informations about your topic, i'm sure, it will be released soon.

Hello Dave,
Thank you for the reply, however I am still bit buffed as to the difference between creating team site from SharePoint admin portal using the team template, and creating a team site using MS Teams and associating it with existing o365 group. Is there any difference between these two teams SP sites? Or the final outcome is the same in both cases.
Looking at the article, this would correspond to Team Site - this would have the /teams/ and Team Site (not groups connected) this would have the /sites/ prefix , right?
Hey PetersDave
the finale outcome is the same, only the permission management from a Team Site (groups connected), over member and owners, and the permission management from a team site (not groups connected), over SharePoint groups, are not the same.
The prefix is "only" a prefix, it doesn't make any differences in the SharePoint site template.
Best, Dave
