Box for Microsoft Teams is available for Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, and Enterprise Advanced accounts. Box for Microsoft Teams is not available in Business Starter accounts.
With Box for Microsoft Teams, you use the content you have in Box through the familiar interface of Microsoft Teams. Share and access content stored in Box directly from within Microsoft Teams – without flipping back and forth between programs. This saves time, streamlines administration, and facilitates team collaboration. More importantly for your enterprise, it enables Box to be your full content layer when using Microsoft Teams.
For a Box-only content experience within Box for Microsoft Teams, turn off key content entry points into OneDrive and SharePoint as an O365 administrator. The setting ensures your end users fully adopt Box for content management with Teams and keeps content in the right place.
Note
Content doesn’t have to originate in Box to be shared. For example, files on your local machine are automatically uploaded into a secure Box folder when you share them via Teams. They are not sent to native content stores such as OneDrive and SharePoint.
You can:
- Easily share Box content to Channels and chats, or upload local files to a Channel or chat and its associated Box folder.
