In Active Directory, a distribution group refers to any group that doesn't have a security context, whether it's mail-enabled or not. In contrast, in Exchange, all mail-enabled groups are referred to as distribution groups, whether they have a security context or not.
Office 365 groups are used for collaboration between users, both inside and outside your company. Distribution groups are used for sending notifications to a group of people. Shared mailboxes are used when multiple people need access to the same mailbox, such as a company information or support email address.
