# How is SharePoint Portal Server different from the Site Server?

It becomes difficult to keep a track of the large amount of documents with the growth of companies. SharePoint lets these be stored centrally. So instead of having them shared via emails, SharePoint allows an easy access to the members by storing the files at one place. SharePoint allows anyone to create sites for use within their company’s Intranet.
