# Document Management integration with external content providers

Integrate Document Management with external cloud providers for editing, sharing, and collaborating over documents for Core UI.

## Integration with external cloud

Edit, share, and collaborate on documents in:

-   Microsoft OneDrive
-   Microsoft SharePoint
-   Google Drive

## Authentication

Authentication enables users to authenticate with their accounts within ServiceNow using a secure connection between the user's identity and their corresponding Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive account, allowing users to access, view, and manage their files directly from ServiceNow.

For personal authentication, see [Personal authentication](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/document-management-services/personal-authentication-documents.md).
