Besides, Box intends to add support for Google Authenticator for two-factor authentication of managed users and external collaborators through time-based one-time-password (OTP).
Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box, remarked: “We’re in the middle of a major transformation in how business gets done. The ability to work from anywhere, leverage global talent and virtual teams, and collaborate securely with colleagues, partners, and customers is the ‘new normal’ for every business. Google Cloud is an incredibly important partner as we innovate and scale to bring secure collaboration to our customers globally. We’re excited to continue making the combination of Box and G Suite as intuitive and seamless as possible.”
