Openness

How well Box keeps people informed when something goes wrong.

  • Reports problems openly: 18 posted on its status page in the last 90 days
  • Shows 12 separate parts, so you can see exactly what's affected

Posting small problems openly is a good sign. An app that reports more problems isn't necessarily less reliable than one that reports fewer.
