Box Resolves Issue Affecting Multiple Services

Cloud storage provider Box has resolved a major incident affecting its Public API that lasted about 90 minutes on June 10.

By The Downtime · Jun 24, 2026 · 10:16 PM

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.

postmortem Jun 24, 3:02 PM

We recently addressed issues affecting Box Public API. 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 5:10 PM PDT and 6:40 PM PDT on June 10, 2026, some users may have experienced difficulties accessing or working within Box. During this period, there was a noticeable degradation affecting Public API request processing. This issue occurred as a result of a recent software change to our authentication infrastructure in our ongoing effort to improve performance and stability of Public API service. We were able to resolve the issue by scaling up the service, correcting its resource allocation, and rolling back the change. In addition, we are working to improve our resource provisioning to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. **Analysis** We recently began rolling out an update to our authentication infrastructure designed to improve performance and stability of Public API service. Following the gradual rollout, an increase in resource utilization during peak traffic led to unexpected resource utilization on our authentication infrastructure. As a result, those servers became unresponsive, preventing them from processing Public API requests. We were able to resolve the issue by temporarily scaling up and adjusting the resource allocations of the authentication service. **Corrective Actions** Box has initiated the following corrective actions: * Rebalancing the resource allocations of the authentication service to accommodate higher traffic volumes * Tuning server timeouts across Public API components to ensure consistent, predictable API response times * Establishing processes and automation to reduce time to mitigation 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
