When you use Teams, you're using either SharePoint or OneDrive already. Well, that's kind of a trick question, actually. And if you don’t know what metadata is, that’s totally fine. But metadata, even if you love it, isn’t really necessary in your OneDrive because you generally know your own folder hierarchy. The main feature difference? OneDrive doesn’t support metadata.
