Box experienced a service issue affecting users' ability to access Box Hubs using shared links. The incident, classified as major impact, occurred between August 27, 2026 at 11:18 PM PDT and August 28, 2026 at 2:48 AM PDT. Other Box functionality, including file and folder access, was not broadly affected during the outage.
Box is a cloud content management platform widely used by enterprises for file storage, collaboration, and workflow management.
The company identified the underlying cause as a recent code change implemented to improve performance. Box resolved the issue by rolling back the change, restoring traffic to previous behavior. The service is now fully operational.
Box is conducting a full engineering postmortem to review deployment and configuration practices with the goal of preventing similar incidents in the future. The company noted that its preliminary analysis remains subject to further review and may be updated as the investigation continues.
