Let’s discover how to integrate Box with Office 365 on MultCloud! With MultCloud, you can effortlessly sync files from SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and OneDrive for Business to Box. Also, automate saving Outlook emails as PDFs directly to Box. See the detailed operations in the post!
Office 365 is designed by Microsoft as a cloud-based subscription service. It gives you several services and tools for productivity, such as popular programs Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Except for those document-editing apps, Office 365 also includes some collaboration and cloud storage services like OneDrive, Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint. Office 365 is provided as an online service, opposite to the stand-alone Office software versions.
The traditional way to integrate Box with Office 365 is by taking advantage of the “Box for Office” desktop app. But you have to pay for this integration after the 14-day free trial. Luckily, there is a free solution if you only need to automatically integrate files between Box/Box for Business with Office 365 cloud storage apps or just want to integrate Outlook with Box. And the solution is provided by MultCloud.
MultCloud is a free and reliable cloud management service that offers functions like Cloud Sync and Email Migration that can partly foster the Box integration with Office 365.
