Integrate Chatter with OneDrive

Chatter

Chatter is a communications platform developed by Salesforce.com that supports the business process of marketing, sales, and service. It provides activity streams that are made up of posts, comments, messages, and files. In addition, Chatter provides business applications like groups and private communities.

The activities of Chatter are based on two concepts in Salesforce. First, users can post updates such as status updates and files that are relevant to the organization. Second, users can comment on the updates. The more an update is commented on, the more prominent it appears in a user's stream.

OneDrive

OneDrive is a cloud storage service operated by Microsoft that offers cloud storage, file synchronization, and personal cloud capabilities to its users. Users can store files in OneDrive and access them from a web browser or sync them to their computer so that they can work with the files offline. Users can also share files and fpders.

Integration of Chatter and OneDrive

Integrating Chatter with OneDrive will enhance the functionality of both products. Because Chatter provides communication and cplaboration features for businesses, integrating it with OneDrive will improve communication among employees who use OneDrive. For example, if an employee wants to share a file with other employees in their department, he or she can create a post in Chatter with the file attached. Then all team members who have Chatter installed on their computers will be able to see the post in their activity stream. They can click the link in the post to open the file stored in OneDrive.

Benefits of Integration of Chatter and OneDrive

Benefits of integrating Chatter and OneDrive include:

• Increased Functionality of Both Products

In addition to improving communication between employees, integrating Chatter with OneDrive benefits both products by increasing their functionality. For example, if a user posts a document in Chatter, users with access to that document via OneDrive can view it directly from their Activity Streams without having to open the document in a separate application. They can also access the document offline because it was synchronized to their computers when they opened it via their Activity Streams. Similarly, if a user shares a document using OneDrive, his or her teammates who have Chatter will be able to see the shared document directly from their Activity Streams without having to open OneDrive or email the file. They can also view the document offline because it was synchronized to their computers when they opened it via their Activity Streams. In addition, users will be able to comment on documents posted in Chatter, which will make comments about documents more prominent in users' Activity Streams. Users may also be able to search and filter text within documents directly from their Activity Streams without having to open those documents in another application. Finally, users will be able to save documents they view via Activity Streams in OneDrive or download them as PDFs, which is not currently possible with existing versions of OneDrive.
