Box and Slack
Securely power conversations with one intelligent platform
Bring all your communication tools together
Conversations are more powerful when they’re anchored to content. Through our strategic partnership with Slack, you get one secure place to chat, share files, leverage AI, build workflow automations, and collaborate. No more jumping between apps: Box securely unifies your content experience across Slack, Salesforce, and other apps.
Work seamlessly with Box content
Drag and drop files into your Slack conversations to automatically upload them into Box, or share files to Slack right from the Box web app. You can also search for files using Slack’s native search tool.
Protect your sensitive files
Keep work secure (and control how files are shared within Slack) by setting default permissions and granting access permissions instantly from within a Slack channel. Decide which data can be sent and saved to Slack, along with what people see when they share Box content.
Bridge content across other apps
Map your Slack channels to Box folders, and get full dynamic previews when Box is enabled as the content file store for Slack. Plus, seamlessly connect content in Slack to workflows and other apps like Salesforce.
Streamline discussions with AI
Tap into the wealth of knowledge within your enterprise content with Box AI. Ask Box AI anything about your Box content and get answers in seconds — from summarizing a lengthy research study to uncovering key findings across multiple documents. With Box AI-powered insights, you make critical decisions faster and with confidence.
