No downtime Partial Downtime Not measurable No data

Measured by FlareWarden's own checks of box.com from multiple regions every 6 hours. Box's status page sets the verdict above when it reports trouble, but never these figures. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 90 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

What Box does

Box is a cloud content platform used by enterprises to store, share and govern documents, with retention rules, legal holds and e-signature built in. It is usually the system of record for contracts and regulated files, so an outage blocks not just file access but approval workflows that legal and finance teams depend on.

What an outage looks like

The web application fails to load or sits at the login screen when Login and SSO are affected. Uploads and downloads stall midway. Shared links sent to people outside the company return errors, which is the failure customers notice first. Box Drive and Box Sync stop reconciling local folders, and Box Sign requests fail to send or complete.

What to do about it

Check status.box.com, which lists Login/SSO, Uploads/Downloads, Sharing, Box Sign, the Platform API and desktop clients as separate components across regional zones, so identify which one your failure touches. Files already synced by Box Drive stay on disk and remain usable. Avoid re-sending Box Sign requests that appeared to fail, since duplicates confuse the signing audit trail.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Box is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Box outage FAQ

Is Box down or is it my company's SSO?
Box lists Login/SSO as a component distinct from the web application, and identity problems frequently originate with your own provider rather than with Box. If colleagues on the same identity provider are also stuck at login while status.box.com is green, the issue is more likely your provider. Check both status pages before raising a ticket with either.
Can I reach files already synced to my computer during an outage?
Yes. Box Drive and Box Sync keep local copies of files you have opened or marked for offline use, and those stay readable while the service is unreachable. What fails is anything needing the server: new downloads, sharing, search and version history. Avoid heavy local edits to synced files until sync recovers, to reduce conflicts.
Do Box shared links keep working when Box is down?
Not usually. Shared links resolve through Box, so external recipients see an error rather than the file. Sharing is reported as its own component, so it can fail while internal access works, or the reverse. If a customer needs the file urgently, sending it another way is faster than waiting for a link to start resolving.
Does an outage affect Box Sign signature requests?
Box Sign is listed separately from the core web application, so it can fail on its own. Requests already signed are recorded and are not lost. Requests in flight may not deliver, and the signer sees a broken link rather than a queued document. Re-sending duplicates the request in the audit trail, so confirm the original state first.
Why does Box work for some colleagues but not others?
Box reports status by regional zone, and enterprise accounts are pinned to a zone. Colleagues in a different region can be unaffected by an incident that stops your office entirely. Component-level failures produce the same pattern: someone using only the web application may see nothing wrong while a team relying on the API is blocked.

How we measure this

  • We request Box's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them. When you open this page and our last check is more than 30 minutes old, we check again on the spot; those checks update the verdict, never the availability figures.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. Our checks only change their verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Box publishes an official status feed we read it too, and the verdict is the worse of what it reports and what our checks see: a major outage of Box itself is Down, trouble with one part of it is Degraded, problems at a few of a provider's many locations change nothing, and a security notice that marks nothing down is shown but changes nothing either. We check the feed every 3 minutes and read it again within minutes of any change to its incidents or components; a reading counts for 45 minutes after the last check that found nothing changed. The availability figures above are our measurement alone.

Get alerted when Box goes down

We check Box every 6 hours, and again when you open this page if that was more than 30 minutes ago. Your own monitors run as often as every 30 seconds, from up to 17 cities across three regions, and tell you the moment something breaks.
