Box for Slack is designed to help businesses manage and collaborate on content securely and efficiently.

 

By integrating Box with Slack, users can access, share, and manage Box content directly within Slack, eliminating the need for constant app-switching. This integration ensures content remains centralized in Box while being readily accessible in Slack where collaboration happens.
