Enabling Graph Connector to Integrate with Copilot for Microsoft 365

You can use our existing Box Connector for Microsoft Graph to integrate with Copilot for Microsoft 365, starting in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft365.com, and copilot.microsoft.com. By enabling the Box Connector for Microsoft Graph, you can provide your users with the ability to access and gain insights from their Box content through interactions with Microsoft Copilot. 

As a Microsoft 365 admin, you can configure the Box Connector for Microsoft Graph and Microsoft Copilot to enable your Microsoft 365 account holders to ask questions and draw insights on Box content. To enable this integration, follow these two steps:

  1. Enable the Box Connector for Microsoft Graph
  2. Enable Microsoft Copilot

Enabling the Box Connector for Microsoft Graph

The Box Connector for Microsoft Graph allows Box and Microsoft customers to index Box data so it appears in Microsoft 365 experiences. By enabling this integration, Microsoft 365 users can discover Box content from Microsoft Search, Microsoft 365 app, or Microsoft Copilot.

To enable the integration, please complete this  form. Once you submit, someone from Box will reach out to you via email with onboarding instructions within three business days .

Before completing the form, please review the following limitations:

  • The connector currently does not index more than 20,000 files per Box EID.
  • It will only index files that are in the user’s Favorites or Recents.
  • Limit of users in an EID should be around 10,000. If this is exceeded, then syncing process will take longer.
  • The tenant must be a valid Microsoft Tenant with an existing search quota, more information on search quota can be found here.
  • Users must have matching email addresses between Box and Microsoft Office.

If you do not meet the above criteria, please reach out to your account team who will be able to advise you on next steps. We will be updating this process to allow admins to turn it on themselves (coming soon).

Enabling Microsoft Copilot 

To enable Microsoft Copilot, a valid license is required. You can learn more about how to enable and manage Microsoft Copilot here.
