Box Drive Login Issues Resolved After Configuration Error

Box restored full service after an unintended configuration change temporarily blocked logins for enterprise users with Intune Mobile Application Management.

By The Downtime · Jun 26, 2026 · 12:15 AM

Box has resolved a service incident affecting Box Drive logins and SSO configuration management. The issue, which lasted from 10:56 PM PDT on May 21 to 2:07 AM PDT on May 22, 2026, impacted enterprise customers using Intune Mobile Application Management (MAM) and prevented administrators from managing SSO settings in the Admin Console. Box is a cloud content management and file-sharing platform used by enterprises to store and collaborate on documents.

The outage resulted from an unintended configuration change in which the primary identity provider administration console region was switched to passive mode, causing login failures and API rejections for affected users. Box restored service by returning the primary administration console region to active status, which immediately restored normal API and login flows.

Box said it has implemented additional monitoring and safeguards to prevent similar configuration reversals and improved how the login flow handles upstream failures. The company is also adding restrictions for administrative console region switches and enhanced alerting for related operational workflows.

The incident is now in postmortem status. Users experiencing continued issues should contact Box Support at support.box.com.

postmortem May 28, 5:41 PM

We recently addressed issues affecting Box Drive login and Single Sign-On \(SSO\) configuration. We would like to take the opportunity to further explain these issues and the steps we have taken to keep them from happening in the future. Between 10:56 PM PDT on May 21, 2026 and 2:07 AM PDT on May 22, 2026, some users may have experienced difficulties while working in Box. During this time, enterprise customers with Intune Mobile Application Management \(MAM\) enabled experienced SSO login failures when attempting to access Box Drive, and administrators were unable to view, update, or manage SSO configurations in the Admin Console. The issue occurred as a result of an unintended configuration change where our primary, active identity provider administration console region was inadvertently flipped to passive mode. We were able to resolve the issue by restoring the primary administration console region back to active status, which immediately restored normal API and login flows. In addition, we are making updates to improve monitoring and alerting for related operational workflows to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.  **Analysis** The active and standby regions were unintentionally reversed, causing the live production region to be switched into standby mode. As a result, the administrative API, which was used in for Intune MAM login flow, began rejecting requests for customers using Intune MAM-protected accounts and temporarily blocked certain SSO management actions in the Admin Console. End users affected by this saw login errors until the regions were restored to their correct state. We have since added safeguards to prevent unintended region switches and improved how our login flow handles this type of upstream failure. **Corrective Actions** Box has initiated the following corrective actions: * Add monitoring to catch certain configuration mismatches that could lead to unintended changes in service routing * Implement additional restrictions for administrative console region-flip We are continuously working to improve Box and want to make sure we are delivering the best product and user experience we can. We hope we have provided some clarity here and we would be happy to answer any questions you may still have regarding this matter.  Sincerely, The Box Team
