How to Integrate Microsoft Teams with Third-Party Cloud Storage – Guide
Microsoft Teams now supports a growing range of third-party services, including cloud-based file storage providers such as Box, Dropbox, Citrix ShareFile, and Google Drive. With just a few clicks, you can connect your existing storage to Teams and start sharing and collaborating. By default, Teams provides access to Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service. ..
Microsoft is known for being very open to third-party integration with its products. Of course, Microsoft’s own file storage solution, OneDrive for Business, has a dubious reputation for stability and functionality. This is why many Office 365 customers have resorted to using third-party file storage services. Microsoft obviously wants these users to use Teams and other Office 365 products, so integration is required. ..
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform that integrates with a growing number of third-party services, including cloud-based file storage. Connect your existing storage to Teams to start sharing and collaborating with just a few clicks. ..
To import all your folders and files from Box, Dropbox, Citrix ShareFile or Google Drive, open the Teams desktop app and navigate to the “Files” tab on the left. Click “Add Cloud Storage” at the bottom of the window.
If you don’t already have an account with any of these services, you can create a free personal account with Dropbox, Box, Citrix or Google. A new window will appear. Enter your email address and password to login. Follow the instructions to grant teams authorization to access your files. After logging in, you can immediately start accessing and interacting with files stored on your external cloud storage. You can double-click a file or folder to open it, or right-click to continue working with the file or folder. Updates made in Teams are automatically pushed to the cloud storage service and vice versa.
You can add more cloud storage from other services by clicking the “Applications” menu and selecting “Applications.” This will open the “Applications” menu, where you can find additional services and integrations. Using teams to collaborate on files stored by your remote service can make life easier for companies, especially those working with freelancers or remote workers. It’s also the best way to ensure your business meets the needs of employees and customers, no matter what service they use to manage their files in the cloud.
Final note
Integrating Microsoft Teams with Third-Party Cloud Storage can help you manage your work and communication more efficiently. ..
