Slack is a powerful tool for collaborative chatting among co-workers, as well as brainstorming, task management, and more. By adding certain third-party apps to your Slack workspace, you can also collaborate on documents that are stored in your cloud accounts, such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Box.

You and your team members can share and discuss documents directly within a Slack channel or direct message. This can reduce or eliminate the need to switch between Slack and the cloud services’ web apps, helping to streamline collaboration.

To use any of the apps listed here, you’ll need an account (free or paid) for its cloud service. Your fellow team members may also need to have an account on the cloud service (but not always so).

Note that access settings for your documents in the cloud service may affect how the Slack app works. You may need to change these settings from the cloud service’s desktop or web app if you find you cannot do so from within the service’s Slack app.

How to install apps in your Slack workspace

On the toolbar along the left of your Slack workspace, click the three-dot icon above More. On the menu that opens, select Automations and then choose Apps on the left. The Apps panel opens. Type inside the search box to find the app that you want, then click Add.

Searching for an app in Slack.

A new tab will open in your web browser showing further details about the app. Click the Add to Slack button under the company logo to install it, and then follow any further instructions that prompt you to complete the installation process.

Some apps may require being added to a specific channel in order to work properly. If the app requires this, during the installation process, click the channel name and select the Integrations tab.

By default, any member of a workspace can install apps unless restricted by administrators. If your workspace restricts installing Slack apps, you may need to request approval from an administrator. The process is similar to the above, but after clicking Add to Slack, type a brief message explaining why you want to install the app. Click Submit. You’ll receive a direct message (DM) from Slackbot notifying you when your request has been reviewed and approved.

Now that you’re familiar with the general steps for adding an app, here’s a rundown of recommended Slack apps for the most well-known cloud services for document storage and creation.

Box

There are two official Slack apps for Box. The first, called simply Box, is made by Box itself and available for Box customers on eligible paid plans. The other, called the Box File Picker, is made by Slack developers and available to anyone with a Box account.

Box

The Box app for Slack lets you generate a link to a document stored in your Box account from the Box web app and post it in a channel or DM in Slack. When you share a Box document in Slack, it’ll display details such as its file name, author information, and a thumbnail.

Share a document with the Box app: Open the Box web app, select a document in your Box storage, and click the Slack icon on the sidebar. This will generate a link that you can then post inside a Slack channel or DM.

The app also includes a file picker that you can use to share files from within a Slack channel or DM without going to the Box app.

Other actions: You can also update the document’s access permissions from within the Slack channel or DM, and documents that are uploaded from your PC to a Slack channel or direct message can be automatically backed up to your Box account. Other features include an AI assistant, slash commands for quickly performing actions, and admin controls such as the ability to restrict the app to certain Slack workplaces.

Box File Picker

The Box File Picker app for Slack lets you import a document stored in your Box account from within a Slack channel or DM.

Share a document with Box File Picker: Open a Slack channel or DM and type /box in the message window. On the menu that pops up, click Add from Box. A panel opens that lets you search and select documents and folders in your Box account.

DocuSign

The DocuSign app for Slack lets you create and send documents to your team members for them to electronically sign within Slack. You can upload documents, specify the order of signers, and initiate the signing process. The app sends notifications within Slack about your document’s status to help you track when your document has been signed.

Create a document for e-signing: In a channel, type /docusign. You’ll be guided through creating the document you want to be signed. You can select a document template or upload your own document stored on your PC. The app will then take you through providing recipient information, such as names and email addresses, and defining the order in which team members need to sign.

Sign a document: The recipient team members will get a notification within Slack to review and electronically sign your document. They’ll be guided through this process without having to leave Slack.

Team members will receive a notification from the DocuSign app when they need to sign a document.

Dropbox

There are two official apps available for working with Dropbox documents, both made by Dropbox itself.

Dropbox

Along with letting you share your Dropbox documents inside Slack channels or DMs, the Dropbox app for Slack also lets you save other documents that are being shared in a Slack channel or DM to your Dropbox account. When you share a document stored in your Dropbox account, it’ll display its Dropbox URL and a thumbnail.

Share documents in Dropbox to Slack: From the Dropbox web app, select the document that you want to share. Click the three-dot icon next to the document. On the menu that opens, click Share to Slack. A panel opens that lets you share the document in a channel or DM.

Save documents shared in Slack to Dropbox: While you’re viewing a shared document in a channel or DM, click the three-dot icon on the toolbar in the upper-right corner of the message. On the menu that opens, click Save to Dropbox. If this option is not available, select More message shortcuts and find Save to Dropbox. The document will be saved to a folder named “Slack” in your Dropbox account.

Dropbox Paper

Dropbox offers a web app for collaborative document creation called Dropbox Paper, or simply Paper. The Dropbox Paper app for Slack helps you and your team members collaborate on Paper documents in a Slack conversation or DM. You and your team members can create new Paper documents, search for existing ones, and preview them within Slack.

Create a new Paper document: In a message window, type the command /paper new title. Replace title with a name for your new Paper document.

From Slack, you can search for, preview, and create new Dropbox Paper docs.

Howard Wen / Foundry

Search for a Paper document: In a message window, type /paper search terms. Replace search terms with a few words that are in the document’s name or content that you want to find.

Google Drive

With the Google Drive app for Slack, you can create, share, and search for documents stored in your Google Drive account from within a Slack channel or DM. Your team members can do the same by connecting their own Google Drive accounts.

Create a new Google Drive document: In a message window, type /google or /drive and select Create a document, Create a presentation, or Create a spreadsheet. You’ll be prompted to type in a title for your new document and to select which channel or team member that it will be shared with.

Share a document stored in your Google Drive: In the new message window, type /google or /drive and select Add from Google Drive. A panel opens letting you search and select documents and folders in your Google Drive account.

When you create or share a file, the Google Drive app checks to be sure all members of the channel or DM can access it. If not, you’ll be prompted to change the access permissions.

You’ll be prompted to change a doc’s access permissions when needed.

In addition to access requests, you and other team members will receive notifications when files are shared with you and when new comments appear on shared files.

Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint

Lastly, the OneDrive and SharePoint app for Slack lets you and your team members share documents stored in your OneDrive account or SharePoint workspace in two ways: from within a new Slack message or as a link that you paste inside a new message. You can also create new documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in your OneDrive from Slack.

When you share a document in a Slack channel or DM, the app shows a preview of its content. Additionally, it checks that everyone in the channel or DM has the necessary permissions to access the shared document, ensuring smoother collaboration among team members. Clicking the file will open it in the appropriate web app: Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.

Create a new OneDrive document: In a new message, type /onedrive and select Create a document, Create a presentation, or Create a spreadsheet. You’ll be prompted to give the file a name, optionally add a message, and choose which channel or DM to post it in. The file will be created in your default OneDrive location.

One of the most dangerous trends arising from the combination of access to generative AI (genAI) tools, the cloud, and mobile apps is how easy it is for a line-of-business chief to do an end-run around IT and deploy all manner of things. 

Although the centralization/decentralization pendulum has always swung back-and-forth in the enterprise, the ease with which business units can deploy sophisticated (and potentially dangerous) technology without getting the CIO/IT Director blessing is alarming. (We can’t even confidently label this Shadow IT, since that usually just means purchasing technology without corporate approvals. 

Is it really Shadow IT if the department head memoes everyone to do it?

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about an IT Director/CIO power trip or about control. Vendors make all kinds of absurd claims about their capabilities and they’re rarely candid about the downsides. That’s why IT management needs to protect other executives from using technology that they don’t fully understand — whether it’s the CFO suggesting Accounts Payable use Microsoft Copilot or Anthropic’s Claude to speed up invoice processing or the supply chain chief turning to ChatGPT for help with shipment logistics.

Quantum computing is another new (and endless) source of confusion. Yes, quantum technology is getting closer to practical use and it will have significant implications for encryption. But exactly when it will be ready for prime-time use, and what it will actually, remains amorphous. 

My point here is that with the easy availability of these kinds of new and intriguing technology, it’s more imperative than ever that IT leaders from the CIO on down educate their colleagues. It’s far too easy for eager early adopters to get into tech trouble, and it’s better to head off problems before your corporate data winds up, say, being used to train a genAI model. 

This teaching role is critical for high-ranking execs (C-level execs, board members) in addition to those on the enterprise front lines. CFOs tend to fall in love with promised efficiencies and would-be workforce reductions without understanding all of the implications. CEOs often want to support what their direct reports want — when possible — and board members rarely have any in-depth knowledge of technology issues.

It’s especially critical for IT Directors, working with the CIO, to become indispensable sources of tech truth for any company. Not so long ago, business units almost always had to route their technology needs through IT. No more. 

It’s not a battle that can be won by edicts or directives. IT directives are often ignored by department heads, and memo mayhem won’t help. You have to position your advice as cautionary, educational — helpful even — all in a bid to spare the business unit various disasters. You are their friend. Only then does it have a chance of working. 

Let’s say an IT Director works 40 hours a week. (Stop laughing; we all know it’s probably closer to 100 hours a week, but let’s pretend for the moment.) It will help protect the enterprise far more if 10 of those hours are spent teaching higher-ups and peers about the dangers of new technology. 

Another wrinkle to keep in mind is that vendors — especially in hot-button tech areas — are now pushing their messages to LOB chiefs and not necessarily to IT. They know they can sometimes do an end-run so they’re going to try. That lets them spew half-truths today that they would never have tried a decade ago when they were speaking directly to IT and only IT.

There’s even a silver lining here: This teaching role can make beteer-informed senior IT managers far more useful to the company. That translates to potentially better compensation and, at the very least, more protection during layoffs. 

When you hear the word “drone,” what comes to mind? Most people think of fun consumer recreational copters that capture incredible video from the sky. Others think of military drones that spy on battlefields and drop bombs.

It’s true that drones are transforming photography and war. But the category’s biggest impact may be in business. 

What is a drone, anyway? 

A drone isn’t an RC helicopter. It’s 2025, and time to shed that view and embrace what a drone really is.  A drone is a robot that moves by flying rather than rolling or walking.

More than that, drones are by far the most capable and useful robots we have. They can move about in any environment without bumping into things. They can fly down air shafts, under vehicles, five miles away and 5,000 feet high.

Nearly all these flying robots use AI in a breathtaking range of ways. 

Because of the power and flexibility of modern drones, the business and enterprise drone industry is growing fast, transforming business operations across industries. Which industries use drones? Listed in order from biggest to smallest users, they include energy, construction, agriculture, mining, real estate, public administration, waste management, transportation, insurance, media, telecommunications, healthcare, education, science, and others.

Even the military sector is a heavy user of drones for non-military purposes. 

While the overall drone market size was estimated at $73 billion in 2024, according to Grand View Research, the business market for drones was $32 billion that same year, according to IMARC Group. 

Future projections range wildly, from 10% annual growth exceeding $54 billion in five years (again, Grand View Research) to nearly 27% yearly growth —reaching $126 billion by 2030 (360iResearch).

In other words, the growth of the business and enterprise drone market ranges from incredibly fast to spectacularly fast.

We’ve become used to a general plateauing of hardware improvements in technology. PCs are all fast now, and massive amounts of storage are cheap. This year’s smartphone crop is more or less like last year’s. Moore’s Law has really slowed. 

But drone hardware capabilities improve super fast. Constant boosts in battery efficiency, AI-powered autonomous systems, and enhanced imaging sensors all make each new crop of drones much better than the last. And AI is making drones far more capable and increasingly autonomous.

Inspections made easy 

Look at how drones have radically improved just one task performed by many industries: inspection. 

Construction and real estate, energy companies, and many other industries used to send a worker climbing slowly to high, low, cramped, or dangerous places or capturing details from an airplane or helicopter. Now, it’s trivial to put a drone in the air and do the same inspection at a tiny fraction of the former cost. Drones can quickly and thoroughly (and because of the low cost, frequently) inspect power lines, utility poles, pipelines, bridges, cell towers, industrial boilers, chemical storage containers, construction sites, fermenter tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage silos, wind turbines, solar panels, hydroelectric facilities, dams, agricultural fields, quarries, and all manner of confined spaces. 

Their flexibility also makes them compatible with a wide range of applications. For example, drones like the Matrice 300 RTK have transformed the mapping of challenging terrain without exposing survey crews to hazardous conditions. Drone deployment for surveying can produce multiple mapping outputs, including 2D and 3D orthomosaic maps, LiDAR point clouds, 3D models, thermal maps, and multispectral maps, providing surveyors with everything they need fast and cheaply. 

Over the next five years, drones will get even more advanced AI and automation, better cameras, faster connections, longer flying times, higher payload capacity, and more. When people think about autonomous robots, they imagine humanoid robots living and working alongside people in society. That may be possible, but it’s also decades away. Meanwhile, autonomous drones will acquire real-time decision-making, object recognition, and near-full autonomy. They’ll even come back and charge themselves, then re-deploy automatically (actually, this capability already exists). 

In other words, the first widely deployed autonomous robots will be enterprise drones (and battlefield military drones). 

The rise of the drone platform

A noteworthy trend in the drone industry is the emergence of Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) business models, in which businesses can rent drones and related services rather than buying drones and programming them in-house. 

But even in-house deployments will increasingly be seen as using drones as part of a larger system or platform for carrying out a specific role within a company. The best expression of this idea comes from DJI, the Chinese drone leader that owns 70% of the global drone market. 

Late last month, the company announced its new Dock 3, which it calls a “Drone in a Box.” 

Designed to work with the company’s new DJI Matrice 4D and DJI Matrice 4TD drones, the product is targeted at “public safety” (police and security) and infrastructure maintenance across all industries.

The drones have three cameras that work together as a complete system. A wide-angle camera captures large areas in a single shot, a medium-zoom camera gets closer looks, and a powerful telephoto camera can examine objects from far away with fine detail. Plus, they have a Laser Range Finder. The Matrice 4D is designed for high-precision mapping and surface inspections, while the Matrice 4TD is equipped with an infrared thermal camera and a new auxiliary light with 100 meters of coverage.

Companies can mount The Dock 3 on top of a vehicle, which can support two drones. (This enables one drone to always be in the air while the other is charging.)

And DJI’s new D-RTK 3 Relay Fixed Deployment Version can be added to work without interference from nearby sources of electromagnetic radiation. It’s also super rugged. The dock can work in temperatures from -22 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s water- and dust-resistant, and the drones it works with can fly in freezing rain and high winds. 

The new Dock 3 integrates with DJI’s existing FlightHub 2 through a seamless cloud-based connection that enables advanced remote operations. That means anyone can drive to remote, hostile locations with the drone and park while remaining mostly inside the vehicle. A skilled operator working from the comfort of home on the other side of the world can control it. 

FlightHub 2, the management software that controls Dock 3 remotely, processes operation data, and converts drone footage into actionable 2D and 3D models. It also has a Virtual Cockpit feature, giving operators an interface designed to be intuitive; it’s divided into Map Window, Livestream Window, and Flight Dashboard components. This interface revolutionizes drone control through “Mouselook” camera manipulation (enabling operators to control camera movements with a mouse), one-click flight commands for rapid navigation, and split-screen viewing that combines geographic context with live video feeds. 

The system enables powerful applications, such as persistent monitoring, remote inspection, and real-time data visualization, while requiring minimal specialized training for operators.

As you can see from this example, the drones themselves, while powerful, are just one part of an ecosystem that includes a delivery and charging platform, a comprehensive cloud-based platform, and software for processing the data collected into actionable, usable information.

It’s time to pay closer attention to what’s possible with enterprise drones and drone platforms. These intelligent flying robots will do more than any other robotics in the next five years to transform what’s possible in businesses and enterprises.
