MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You are the Teams administrator for a company that uses Microsoft 365. The company wants to allow users to add third-party cloud storage services, such as Dropbox and Google Drive, to Teams chats and channels. However, the security team requires that only approved services be allowed. You need to configure Teams to permit only specific cloud storage providers. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse app permission policies with cloud storage settings; permission policies control app availability, not the storage providers that can be integrated into Teams.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
In the Teams admin center, go to Teams settings > Files and modify the Cloud storage options to enable only the approved providers.
The correct action is to modify the Cloud storage options in Teams settings. This allows you to enable only the approved third-party storage providers organization-wide. Other options either target the wrong settings (app permission policies, conditional access) or use cmdlets that do not control cloud storage providers. This configuration ensures that users can only add approved services to Teams.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a conditional access policy in Microsoft Entra ID that blocks access to unapproved cloud storage services.
Why it's wrong here
Conditional access policies control access to cloud apps based on conditions, but they do not govern which third-party storage providers can be integrated into Teams chats and channels. This is a separate configuration within Teams settings. Conditional access would not prevent users from adding unapproved storage providers to Teams.
- ✓
In the Teams admin center, go to Teams settings > Files and modify the Cloud storage options to enable only the approved providers.
Why this is correct
The Cloud storage options in Teams settings allow administrators to enable or disable specific third-party storage providers for the entire organization. By enabling only the approved providers, you restrict users to those services. This directly meets the requirement to permit only specific cloud storage providers. This is the correct location to configure this setting.
- ✗
Use the Set-CsTeamsClientConfiguration cmdlet to set the -AllowDropBox and -AllowGoogleDrive parameters to $false.
Why it's wrong here
The Set-CsTeamsClientConfiguration cmdlet does not have parameters for individual cloud storage providers like DropBox or Google Drive. Cloud storage settings are managed through the Teams admin center or via the Set-CsTeamsFilesPolicy cmdlet, not this cmdlet. Using this cmdlet would not achieve the desired restriction.
- ✗
In the Teams admin center, go to Teams apps > Permission policies and create a custom policy that allows only the approved cloud storage apps.
Why it's wrong here
Permission policies control which apps are available to users, but they do not control the cloud storage providers that can be added to chats and channels. Cloud storage providers are configured separately in the Teams admin center under Teams settings. This approach would not restrict the storage providers as required.
