With Box Drive being the primary data storage space for WFAA, it is only logical that the organization would want that option present for users when utilizing the Office Suite of tools on their iPhones and iPads. The following step-by-step guide is intended to walk through the process of adding Box to each M365 app individually so that documents from Box can be opened, created anew, and saved to storage locations within Box Drive.
Instructions
The following steps will need to be repeated for each Microsoft application that Box is intended to be an optional storage location on.
Adding Box Drive
Open up the Microsoft app where Box Drive is intended to be added as a storage option
Within the bottom ribbon, select the folder icon labeled Browse
After expanding the Browse window, choose the Add Storage Account option
Next, a list of available storage options will appear to choose from
Select the Box option with the white cloud icon
On the next screen, a couple of dialog boxes will appear
The first will ask you to sign in with your WFAA email and password, enter your credentials and click Authorize
The second will be asking you to Grant Access to Box, click this option
At this point, Box will begin to sync with OneLogin and utilize the SSO of the signed in account to access Box Drive
Momentarily, the account should sync and Box should now be shown as Other Storage for the Microsoft app
Validating Box Drive Functionality
Create a blank document or open a document from the recent list
Click the three dots on the top right corner of the document to expand the options menu
From the options menu, choose the Save option
First, the document name will need to be named
Once named, choose Box from the Other Storage list as the save location
Box Drive will now open, granting access to the entirety of the Box folder catalogue that the signed-in user has access to
From here, navigate through the Box folder structure to find the location to save the file to
As previously stated - this process will need to be repeated for each individual Microsoft app that one wishes to have Box Drive as a storage option on. It cannot be added to all M365 applications all at once.
