Which one should you pick?
Pick Notion if
You’re building around content workflows. Notion is where most podcast teams park guest packets, run-of-show docs, and editorial calendars. The free tier is fine for solos; the moment you collaborate seriously, Notion-tax kicks in, and AI features are now gated behind the $20 Business plan whether you want them or not.
Pick OneDrive if
You’re building around microsoft 365 teams. OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage, bundled into nearly every Microsoft 365 plan, and most relevant when your team is already on Word, Excel, and Teams. The free tier starts at a stingy 5GB, but Microsoft 365 Personal at $9.
