Today, we’re pleased to announce new file storage options in Microsoft Teams, the chat-based workspace in Office 365.

 

In addition to the OneDrive and SharePoint storage included in Teams, which gives every channel a SharePoint folder, users can now share and collaborate on files saved in 3rd party storage locations including Box, Citrix ShareFile, Dropbox, and Google Drive. The new storage options will begin rolling out tomorrow. Office 365 Admins can configure the individual storage providers in the Office 365 Admin Center.

 Add folders from new storage providers into Teams. 

Thanks to everyone who has tried Microsoft Teams for all the great feedback and support. If you haven’t started using Teams yet,

    Hi,

     

    In order for the Teams to be complete, it is necessary to act better on the permissions of the files and teams.

    ... or maybe follow the existing switch for the same integration in Office Online. I cant see why people would want this on in one service but off in another.

    This all really needs to be off by default.  Or at least a big exploding GIF when an Admin logs into Office 365 that says:

     

    "Oh, Hey - we just turned on the ability for your users to integrate Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, and Sharefile inside of Teams so your company can totally lose control of your files. Good luck with it!"
