SharePoint Online 2013 is part of upgrade to the new Microsoft Portal Online for Office 365 and is part of the Enterprise and Midsized Business plans. With SharePoint Online 2013, you can organize and share team documents, create online knowledge bases and collaborate with your colleagues. SharePoint Online supports the CRM List Component, which allows for the automatic creation of SharePoint folders within admin defined entities for CRM Online. (You can activate a Dynamics CRM Online account from within your Office 365 account, which we will be writing a blog about soon!)

Here are the steps for integrating SharePoint with Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
