Both OneDrive and SharePoint help secure your files and let you access them from any device. They also let you collaborate with others on the latest version of a file instead of sending around different copies that become outdated.  
Use OneDrive to store:

- Your individual work or files that include private info not to be shared.
- Early drafts of files that you don't want to see yet. (You can move them to Sharepoint when ready to make them available to the team or org.)

Use SharePoint (which you can access through Teams Files) to store:

- Team Project Files.
- Any resources that should be owned by the business or group even if you leave the organization.
