OneDrive is used for personal storage: work-related files that you create and work on yourself and sometimes share with others. Files saved to your OneDrive are private by default and cannot be seen by anyone else without you choosing to share them.

SharePoint is used for shared storage: work-related files that are meant to be collaborated on, or viewed, by your group upon the file’s creation. Files saved to SharePoint can be immediately accessed by all members of the SharePoint site by default. In the case of the Company SharePoint - files can be immediately accessed by anyone in the whole company.
