We were discussing document libraries. Sharepoint is an implementation of Content Databases. OneDrive is also a document library. In fact, this is one of the earliest file hosting service which is operated by Microsoft. Every user gets a quota which can be enhanced with subscriptions. The service was initially named SkyDrive and was made available in many countries. Later, Photos and videos were allowed to be stored on SkyDrive via Windows Live Photos, which allowed users to access their photos and videos stored on SkyDrive. It was therafter expanded to include Office Live Workspace. Files and folders became accessible to Windows Live Users and Groups which made sharing and file management easier. Subsequently SkyDrive began to be used with AppStore and Windows Phone Store via the applications released. APIs are also available for OneDrive.
OneDrive for Business is different from OneDrive for users. The former is an integral part of Office 365 or Sharepoint Server and provides place in the cloud where users can store, share and sync their work files. It is managed by the organization with the help of Sharepoint services and is virtually isolated from any or all personal storages of users such as OneDrive personal accounts. That said, the files are easy to be moved from one to the other if the users have setup access using corresponding accounts.
Sharepoint services is however different from OneDrive for Business. While both are offered through Office365 business plans, OneDrive for Business evolved from Sharepoint workspace and before that Groove whereas Sharepoint online is a Cloud-based version of the Sharepoint Service that dates back to Office XP. Both are powered by Sharepoint. While one is referred to as location, another is referred to as team site. All files in the former default as private while those in the latter inherit the permissions of the folder they are uploaded in. The interface is also different between the two where the former is exclusive to the user and the latter has a theme shared by the organization.
