In this video, I explain the difference between folders and document libraries in SharePoint Online.
Folder vs. Document Library in SharePoint Online is a comparison of two different features in the popular cloud-based Microsoft collaboration platform. A Folder is a basic organizational feature that is used to store and organize documents and other files. A Document Library is a more advanced feature that is used to store, organize, and manage documents and other files. Both features offer users the ability to store and organize files, but they offer different levels of control and features.
A Folder is a basic organizational feature that is used to store and organize documents and other files. It has limited functionality and does not provide access control or version history. It is best for organizing documents into categories and does not provide document collaboration features.
A Document Library is a more advanced feature that is used to store, organize, and manage documents and other files. It provides access control, version history, and other collaboration features. It also allows for the creation of folders, workspaces, and other features to help organize documents. Document Libraries also provide access to other services such as Office Web Apps and Office Online.
