Your documents, in the cloud you already use

Kimobox publishes and versions the management system's documents directly in OneDrive, Google Drive or SharePoint, with no duplicate folders and no separate copies to maintain.

What the connector does

Almost no company wants another document manager: it already has one, and its people already know how to use it. What it needs is for the management system documentation to be controlled — with its version, approver and date — without leaving where it lives. The Kimobox connector publishes and versions directly on OneDrive, Google Drive or SharePoint, so there are never two copies of the same procedure in two places.

Clouds supported: OneDrive, SharePoint and Google Drive Using the corporate account the company already pays for
What Kimobox controls: Version, approval and validity The file lives in the cloud; the document state lives in the platform
Standards requirement: ISO 9001:2015, clause 7.5.3 Control of documented information: availability, protection and change control
Permissions: Inherited and enforced Whoever cannot see the document in the cloud cannot see it from Kimobox either
Uncontrolled copies: Stop making sense The link always resolves to the current version

Direct connection

OneDrive, Google Drive and SharePoint, using your own corporate account credentials.

Two-way sync

A document edited in the cloud is reflected in Kimobox, and vice versa.

Automatic versioning

Every publish becomes a new version, with the full history accessible.

Inherited permissions

Your cloud's folder permissions are respected; Kimobox doesn't open access you didn't already have.

Content search

Find a document by its text, not just by its file name.

No duplicate folders

Management system documents live in the same folder structure your team already uses.

What it solves

The same folder, no loose copies

Connection to OneDrive, Google Drive and SharePoint

Real examples

The two-folder problem

Engineering · Microsoft 365

Duplicated procedures

Before The official version sits in the quality software and the one people use sits in SharePoint. They diverge within weeks.

After There is one file, in SharePoint, with its document state governed from Kimobox. Divergence stops being possible.

Food industry · Google Workspace

Shop-floor records in the cloud

Before Records are filled in on Google Sheets and nobody knows which correspond to the current version of the form.

After Each record points to the form version it was created with. When the form changes, older records still refer to theirs.

Group with two IT cultures

Half the company on Drive, half on OneDrive

Before Migrating to a single cloud is a project nobody wants to take on right now.

After The connector works with both at once. The decision to unify gets taken when it suits, not as a precondition.

Vocabulary

Document control, precisely

Documented information: The ISO 9001:2015 term covering documents and records. Documents say how something should be done; records show that it was.
Controlled copy: A copy whose updating is guaranteed by the system. In a cloud-linked environment the link itself is the controlled copy, and printouts stop being necessary.
Versioning: Keeping a document's history with each edition identified and its approver recorded. Without it you cannot reconstruct which instruction was in force when an incident happened.
Obsolete document: A withdrawn edition that must remain identifiable but not usable. ISO 9001 requires protecting against unintended use, not destroying them.
Approval: The act by which someone with authority declares a document fit for use. It must be recorded with a name and a date, not assumed.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before getting started

Do I need to migrate my documents to Kimobox?

No, documents keep living in your cloud; Kimobox publishes and versions them right there.

What happens if I edit a document directly in OneDrive?

The change is reflected in Kimobox as a new version, without losing the previous history.

Can I use more than one cloud provider at once?

Yes, you can connect OneDrive, Google Drive or SharePoint depending on the department or work site.

Where does the file live, in Kimobox or in the cloud?

In the cloud. Kimobox governs the document state — version, approver, validity, obsolescence — and the file stays where your people already look for it.

What does ISO 9001 require on document control?

Clause 7.5.3 requires documented information to be available where needed, protected against loss or misuse, with change control, and obsolete documents identified to prevent unintended use.

Are cloud permissions respected?

Yes. Whoever cannot reach the document in SharePoint or Drive cannot see it from Kimobox either. Permissions are not duplicated; they are inherited and enforced.

Can you tell which version was current on a given date?

Yes. The history keeps each edition with its approver and date, so you can reconstruct which instruction was in force when an incident happened.

What if half the company uses Drive and half OneDrive?

The connector works with both at once. Unifying the cloud may be a good idea, but it does not have to be a precondition for getting documentation in order.

Document connector for OneDrive, Google Drive and SharePoint

Kimobox connects to OneDrive, Google Drive and SharePoint to publish and version the management system's documents directly in the document cloud your team already uses, with no file migration or duplicate folders.

The sync is two-way: a document edited in the cloud is reflected as a new version in Kimobox, your corporate account's folder permissions are respected, and content search lets you find any document without relying on its file name.
