Frequently Asked Questions


  • What is Microsoft OneDrive?
  • What is Microsoft Teams?
  • How do I share a file in OneDrive?
  • How do I create a channel in Microsoft Teams?
  • OneDrive is your "personal file storage system".  By default, files you place on your OneDrive cannot be viewed or changed by anyone else.  However, you can choose to share individual files or entire folders with others if you want.   
  • Your OneDrive files can live exclusively in the cloud.  You can also use the OneDrive client (available for PC, Mac, and mobile devices) to keep copies of some or all of your OneDrive files locally.  The OneDrive client keeps track of everything and makes sure any changes you make to one copy of a file are passed around to your other device(s) if needed.   

Teams is Microsoft’s answer to “department level file sharing” and collaboration.  Unlike OneDrive, Teams can have more than one “owner”.  Owners can be reassigned, and users, chosen by the Team owner(s),  can share files stored in the team site.   

Please visit our Training site to learn how to share OneDrive files.  

Contact the Team Owner to request a new channel to be added. 

If you don’t know who the owner of your team is, and you need to request an “owner level” change (adding a channel, adding or removing a team member, etc..), click on the three dots (…) next to the team name, then click on “Manage Team” in the drop-down menu that appears.  Under Manage Team, you’ll be able to see who “owns” the team and who all the current members are.
