Move Box to SharePoint With Embedded Links To Boost Productivity

Links embedded in documents and spreadsheets may seem trivial, but they are one of the most crucial features to choose when migrating data from Box to SharePoint or from any source to the destination cloud. Similar to sharing permissions, embedded links are integral to end-user collaboration and productivity.

This guide explores how migrating embedded links helps businesses of all sizes retain or even improve end-user and team productivity in the destination.

Improving User Productivity in the Destination

Different types of features (linked to user data), such as sharing permissions, in-line comments, external shares, and timestamps, have their own set of roles that directly or indirectly contribute to user productivity.

Similarly, embedded links help end-users (employees) and their teams benefit from easy access to other internal files (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.) and external files and pages (e.g., webpages).

Users do not have to waste time searching for relevant files when they have access to the appropriate embedded links in their primary spreadsheets or documents. And the sum of the time saved by all the users results in significant productivity gains on a company-wide level.

Therefore, migrating embedded links along with other critical features is crucial to retaining productivity and improving it in the destination cloud (SharePoint and OneDrive).

How Does Migrating Embedded Links Improve Productivity in SharePoint Online?

Businesses that move files from Box to SharePoint along with embedded links can significantly improve end-user productivity. This is because Microsoft 365 offers more collaboration features. SharePoint Online and OneDrive integrate well with the robust suite of apps included in Microsoft 365.

For example, users can share SharePoint and OneDrive files across all the supported apps, such as Microsoft Teams, Yammer, Outlook, Calendar, OneNote, etc.

The ease of quickly accessing the correct files and other items via embedded links combined with the convenience of sharing the files (with embedded links inside) across Microsoft 365 apps works great in improving user productivity to a significant extent.
