Starting on Friday, August 15th at 5:00 PM PDT until 7:00PM PDT, Box will be conducting Resiliency Testing. This may result in short and intermittent service degradations, such as brief slowness while using the box.com website, client applications, and API. We will be closely monitoring service metrics and do not expect an increase in 5xx errors during this window. As a result of this testing, we aim to update and enhance our recovery capabilities, ultimately improving the user experience and providing a smoother, more efficient platform by ensuring the reliability and resiliency of our services. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding as we strive to enhance our services. Any additional updates will continue to be shared through our status site until this maintenance is complete. If you require any additional assistance during this maintenance, please contact Box Support via https://support.box.com.

On July 7th, 2022 between 6:02 PM PDT and 7:10 PM PDT, some users may have experienced difficulties while working in Box. During this time, users may have experienced higher than normal latency, timeouts and/or errors when trying to access Box via one of our applications or our Public API. The issue occurred due to instability in one of our HBase clusters, resulting in increased request queue latencies and degradation of uploads, downloads, Box Notes, and other related services. We were able to resolve the issue by diverting traffic to a healthy passive cluster. In addition, we are working on process and tooling improvements to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.  ‌ We are conducting a full engineering postmortem and our overview is subject to change with further analysis and findings.

We recently addressed issues affecting login for some customers. 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 May 26th 2:00 pm PDT and May 27th 5:42 am PDT, some users may have experienced difficulties while working in Box. During this time, a subset of users attempting to log in to Box were unable to move beyond the device trust verification screen, and as a result were unable to log in. ‌ **Analysis** The issue occurred as a result of a recent code change made to improve our Device Trust login flow. Due to an uncovered edge case, a small subset of users were unable to advance beyond the device trust verification screen. We were able to resolve the issue by reverting the problematic change. In addition, we are working to improve our testing processes and observability to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.  ‌ **Corrective Actions** The following corrective actions have been completed or are planned: * Improving the testing process to account for the edge case that became apparent through this issue. * Improving Device Trust observability to reduce detection time of issues relating to the Device Trust login flow. * Improving code release processes by implementing feature flags, which will allow for rapid remediation in the event of issues associated with code changes. 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

We are currently investigating an issue affecting logins, specifically with enterprises utilizing Device Trust . We will provide more information as soon as it is available.

Box continues remediation efforts to restore full functionality to logins. The underlying cause of the issue has been identified and efforts are underway to restore stability.

Box continues remediation efforts to restore full functionality to logins. The underlying cause of the issue has been identified and efforts are still underway to restore stability.

We have resolved the issue impacting logins. We are continuing to monitor to ensure no further impact is observed.

We recently addressed issues affecting Logins, Public API, Uploads and Downloads. 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 3:50 pm PDT and 3:57 pm PDT on May 24th, 2022, some users may have experienced difficulties while working in Box. During this time, users may have experienced slow login times as well as failures when attempting to upload and download files. **Analysis**  The issue occurred as a result of a misconfiguration of a standard security scan that unexpectedly created performance issues. Specifically, the scanners were configured in a manner that caused an excessive number of authentication sessions on our network devices. This caused some network devices to run out of memory, which in turn resulted in slow login times as well as failures when attempting to upload and download files. The issue was resolved by stopping the scan. We have identified the root cause of the issue to be inefficient scan configurations. Moving forward, we are implementing more efficient scan configurations and improving our heath check alerting for all related vulnerability scans to prevent similar issues from occurring again in the future. **Corrective Actions** The following corrective actions have been completed or are planned: * Implementing configuration changes to all related security scans * Health check alerting for all related vulnerability scans 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

We recently addressed issues affecting the Search Platform. 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 5:00 pm PDT on May 18, 2022 and 1:00 am PDT on May 19, 2022, some users may have experienced difficulties while working in Box. During this time, a minority of users were shown an error message when attempting a search. The issue occurred as a result of a recent code change made relating to the improvement of search ranking results. We were able to resolve the issue by rolling back this change immediately upon discovery. In addition, we are implementing new alerts and enhancing our detection capabilities to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. **Analysis** On May 18th, a configuration change was made in an effort to improve the ranking of Search results. The configuration was incorrectly applied for a small percentage of users of Search. As a result, during this time, this small group of impacted users received an error message instead of the expected results. **Corrective Actions** The following corrective actions have been completed or are planned: * Engineers immediately reversed the incorrect configuration. * The team has enhanced alerting and detection surrounding future configuration changes. We are continuously working to improve Box and want to make sure we are delivering the best product and user experience we can.
