We are announcing a few key updates to an enhanced integration with Box for Microsoft Teams, so users can access content while communicating and collaborating with teammates.
These changes will enable joint users to:
-
Choose Box as a default storage option in Microsoft Teams, to enforce IT storage policies and prevent user confusion when uploading, sharing, and accessing files.
-
Use Box as a personal app in Microsoft Teams, so users can access their Box files within Microsoft Teams — not just the ones shared in channels or chats.
-
View Box content card previews within Microsoft Teams through a clean interface with larger thumbnails that enable Box files to be opened directly from preview with one click.
-
Admins will be able to automatically install the Box for Microsoft Teams integration for all users in their organization.
-
Box file tabs will be added to Microsoft Teams chats, for easy access to Box files.
-
The Box for Microsoft Teams integration will be pre-pinned to the tray below the message compose window in teams, for streamlined file sharing.
