Box for Google Workspace is now expanding to Google Calendar

According to Okta, the average enterprise uses almost 200 separate applications to get work done. That's where the Content Cloud comes in - a single unified and secure content layer ensuring interoperable access to your files anywhere, at anytime, across any platform.

Box and Google Workspace share a deep commitment to deliver seamless and secure collaboration and productivity to our joint customers. We first launched Box for Google Workspaceback in 2018, enabling our customers to take advantage of Google Workspace's best-in-class productivity tools - such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides - while staying within Box and leveraging our advanced security, compliance, and lifecycle management. Since then, we have continued to expand our partnership with the Box for Google Workspace Add-on, allowing users to migrate content to Box, and connecting their Box content to Gmail.

Today, we are excited to announce the release of a new feature, furthering our innovative partnership with Google Workspace by enhancing the Box for Google Workspace Add-on to directly integrate with Google Calendar.

Starting today, Box customers can access their Box files directly from their Google Calendar invitations, attaching a shared link and updating permissions without ever having to leave their calendar. Customers will also be able to create new Box Notes and link them directly to their calendar events. This enhancement saves customers time, eliminating the need to search for content when creating meetings, and ensures a seamless and secure collaborative experience. Continuing to expand interoperability between Google Workspace and Box enables our joint customers to get their work done faster and more effectively.
