Microsoft 365 now includes SharePoint features in its cloud platform, but you can also purchase SharePoint by itself as an on-premise solution.
Sharing folders
Any updates they make sync with the shared folder, so everyone with access to the folder is up to date. Tip: The recipient can add shared folders to their OneDrive, not individual files.
