MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
A company wants to provide users with the ability to use Dropbox and Google Drive as file storage options within Teams channels. Where should an administrator enable these third-party storage providers?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the location of file storage settings, tricking candidates into choosing SharePoint Admin Center or Messaging Policies when the correct place is Org-wide Teams settings.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Org-wide settings > Teams settings
Third-party storage providers like Dropbox and Google Drive are enabled at the tenant level in the Teams admin center under Org-wide settings > Teams settings. This section includes the 'Files' settings where you can turn on or off cloud storage options such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, and ShareFile. Once enabled, users can add these as storage locations when working with files in Teams channels.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Teams Messaging Policies
Why it's wrong here
Messaging policies are intended to control chat-related features like emojis, memes, and the ability to edit or delete sent messages. They do not contain settings for file storage backends or the integration of third-party cloud services, which are handled at a broader organizational level within the Teams settings.
- ✓
Org-wide settings > Teams settings
Why this is correct
Within the Teams admin center, the 'Teams settings' section under 'Org-wide settings' (or 'Files' in the newer interface) contains the toggle switches for third-party storage providers. Enabling Dropbox and Google Drive here makes these services available for all users to add as tabs or storage locations.
- ✗
Teams App Setup Policies
Why it's wrong here
App setup policies are used to pin specific applications to the Teams sidebar or to install apps automatically for users. While you can pin a Dropbox app, the underlying ability to link cloud storage directly within the Files tab of a channel is governed by the global storage settings.
- ✗
SharePoint Admin Center Settings
Why it's wrong here
While SharePoint is the primary storage engine for Teams, the SharePoint admin center manages internal document libraries and site permissions. It does not control which third-party external cloud providers are integrated into the Teams client interface; those configurations must be managed directly within the Teams admin center.
