As a Global admin or SharePoint admin in Office 365, you can use the OneDrive admin center to control how sharing works at the organization level in OneDrive and SharePoint Online. Because each OneDrive is a site (previously called "site collection") within SharePoint, your organization's SharePoint settings and OneDrive settings are related.
