O365 Sharepoint
-->
Microsoft SharePoint is a cloud-based service that helps organizations share and manage content, knowledge, and applications to:
- Empower teamwork
- Quickly find information
- Seamlessly collaborate across the organization
SharePoint provides a rich collaboration environment where people inside and outside your organization can work together, coauthoring document. Microsoft 365 provides a variety of options to help you create a secure and productive file collaboration environment that meets the needs of your organization. Use these resources to get started. SharePoint automatically creates a Team Site when you create a group in the Office 365 Admin Center. Use this Team Site to save documents for collaboration within your team. Office 365 creates a OneDrive folder for each user account that users should use for personal files that don’t require collaboration.
The resources on this page are designed to get you started. Depending on the needs of your organization, you may want to read about migration and governance options before you start rolling SharePoint out to your users. If you're ready to get started with SharePoint, read about collaboration options and how to create a modern intelligent intranet. As you roll out SharePoint to your organization, remember to train your users to help them get the most out of these tools.
If you're just starting out with SharePoint, learn about the FastTrack onboarding and adoption services, find a SharePoint certified partner, or visit the SharePoint community.
Once you're using SharePoint, get the OneDrive sync app and the mobile app. You can also suggest a feature.
