When you sign in to Office 365, or your organization’s corporate intranet site, you’ll see links to Newsfeed, OneDrive, and Sites in the global navigation bar.
These are your entry points into SharePoint.

Organizations use SharePoint to create websites. You can use it as a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from almost any device.
All you need is a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
