Can an azure group have a onedrive?

Can a group of azure users (eg group "teachers") have a onedrive (Other than their own), where they can have r/w access?

Or do I need to user one members Onedrive and give other users rw access?
Or create a "dummy" user for this group, who's Onedrive is accessible to all in the group?

Depending on the org permissions and how the group was created there may already be a MS Team built for it. This would include an associated SharePoint site and shared file capabilities.

That’s called SharePoint if I’m not mistaken. (:

Onedrive is just Sharepoint. So many M365 things use Sharepoint as the backend that you’d be amazed how many times Sharepoint is the answer.

OneDrive should be really called OnesDrive for clarity

Not a OneDrive, but you can set them up with a SharePoint. They can sync the share point so the files appear in their file explorer so it acts almost exactly like OneDrive does

Yes, but then it's not called OneDrive. OneDrive is just a personal Sharepoint site. If you create a teams enabled group, or "Team". They will get a site in Teams and a sharepoint site that is linked to the team. They can sync it using their OneDrive so it's available on their file explorer.

I'd recomend you go read MS-900 before going forward though.
