Why Connect Box to Microsoft 365?

Box limitations compound the integration challenge: collaboration features for document editing rely on integration with Microsoft Office Online or Google Workspace rather than native editors

Transaction data in Box requires manual verification against Microsoft 365, increasing audit risk

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Box and Microsoft 365 aligned

Reporting across Box and Microsoft 365 requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Patient appointment data in Box and billing records in Microsoft 365 require double entry, risking compliance issues

No single source of truth when tasks live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information
