Microsoft should hire you. My eyes are bloodshot from all the reading of MS documentation to make sense of this, yet you communicated everything I needed in under 8 minutes.

Have had a tough time trying to differentiate between the two applications and you've just made a very easy way for me to understand in your explanation. Thanks

I’ve watched a few videos but yours is the one that really made me understand why to use OneDrive vs SharePoint. The permissions nightmare and employees leaving the company really put things into perspective!
Thank you!

Brilliant video. Recently had a discussion with our team and no one seemed to understand the relationship or when to use one drive or share point. Your video will be come a guide for us. Thank you

[dawnd]

Thank you! This information was overwhelming to me when we got O365 last week but you made it much easier to understand
..me...we...us!

Great video I will be using the infographic to explain to the greater team. As they are struggling with where they should save things.

I love how you explained the Me/We/Us - I understand so much more by watching your video and you are a wonderful presenter!

[ddeng]

Great video. The most easy understanding and convincing explanation. I run a small start up and we just increased several o365 license for new members and I trust that it is time to move rom onedrive documents sharing to sharepoint as we move into the next stage of our business. Thank you very much!

Hallelujah! A clear layout of the three, what they are for, and how to use them. All in under 8 minutes. THANK YOU!

About to delve into SharePoint for the first time. This video was great to explain where it all sits - loved the bit about Me = Onedrive, We = Teams, Us - SharePoint. Sometimes the simplest explanation nails it in one. Thanks.

[julieellington]

Just what I was after, a clearly explained video of how this Teams, One Drive and Sharepoint works with documents...duly sharing with us oldies at work who are struggling to get our heads around it all!! Thanks so much :)

[robinbrotherhood]

This was the first explanation of SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams that made sense of when to use what platform -- and it was fast. Thank you!!

[bobschackner]

Thanks - this made the distinction so easy to follow. I absolutely love the, "Me, We, Us" analogy. Perfect! Thanks so much.

Very useful video Matt. I explain this to Team Members and clients but will now use your video and have a discussion following the view of your video. Keep up the good work and thank you.
