What's the difference between OneDrive, Sharepoint, and Teams?

Answer

OneDrive is a Microsoft Office app in which users can store documents, files, or other items.  It is a personal space where these files can be organized according to preference and shared with others.  It's very similar to Google Drive.
 
SharePoint is larger in scope, as it is a "content management system". While it can effectively store and manage documents, it is more of an organizational and collaborative tool whereby larger groups have distinct spaces within it for housing separate content.  It can be used for website creation; specifically, it is used by MU as the site for the MU portal. 
 
MS Teams is another tool that overlaps in functionality.  This tool is purely collaborative and helpful for project management activities. Users can be assigned to a workspace, each with the ability to add and focus on specific projects.
