  • MS Teams for Collaboration: While you can collaborate in OneDrive, it can be difficult to track permissions at the file or folder level with different owners. Also, if the owner of the file or folder leaves UBC, their OneDrive is typically retired within 30 days. MS Teams makes it easy to upload and collaborate on files in a central location.
