The Box for Google Workspace integration provides access to Google editors’ content creation features – creating, collaboratively editing, and auto-saving documents in Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides – seamlessly, from directly within Box. You can:
- Create, open, and edit Google documents right from Box.
- Use Google's real-time editing tools and auto-save changes directly back to Box, eliminating the need for re-uploading content
- Invite and work with others in real-time, and track all changes in Box
- Access version history and commenting features both in Google editors and in Box
- Make use of Box’s 7 different permission levels and ensure your content is protected by Box security, compliance, and governance
- Open and edit Microsoft Office documents using the corresponding Google editors within Box, and have all changes saved directly back to Box in its original file format.
Here's a brief overview:
For enterprises, the Box Admin must turn on the integration for the enterprise. If Box for Google Workspace has been enabled in your organization, you can begin using it right away.
For non-enterprise individual accounts, you must turn on the integration in your Box account settings.
Note
There are several significant improvements from our earlier Google Docs v1 integration, which we no longer support. Details on the differences and on upgrading your integration.
