Basically, there is no big difference between the two particles から/に in もらいます sentence.
To be exact, に is used only with people, and から is used with organizations.
×がっこうに本(ほん)をもらいました。
◎がっこうから本をもらいました。
I got the book from the school.
For people, we can use both.
◎先生(せんせい)に本をもらいました。
◎先生(せんせい)から本をもらいました。
I got the book from my teacher.
Use から with がっこう(school)、かいしゃ(company)、
I hope my answer helps you. 😊
In the JLPT course, you can ask me any questions as much as you want.
I will teach you until you get it!
