Box has issued a postmortem following a major incident affecting multiple Box services on June 10, 2026, between 5:10 PM and 6:40 PM PDT. During the outage, some users experienced difficulties accessing Box and working within the platform, with noticeable degradation affecting Public API request processing. The incident is now resolved and services have been restored to full functionality.
Box is a cloud content management and file-sharing platform used by businesses and enterprises for document storage and collaboration.
The company traced the issue to a recent software update to its authentication infrastructure. Following a gradual rollout of the update, increased resource utilization during peak traffic led to unexpected strain on authentication servers, rendering them unresponsive to Public API requests. Box resolved the incident by scaling up the service, correcting resource allocation, and rolling back the problematic change.
Box has announced corrective actions including rebalancing resource allocations to handle higher traffic volumes, tuning server timeouts across Public API components, and establishing processes to reduce mitigation time. Users experiencing ongoing issues are directed to Box Support.
