  • Box ends support for TLS 1.0 on June 25   Jun 22, 2018, 1:13 PM CDT
    On June 25, 2018 Box will start blocking access from client applications that use TLS 1.0. If you are experiencing issues connecting to Box, please update your desktop client. If problems continue after updating your desktop client, please open a case with the Help Desk.
    


    The original announcement of this change only affected older client versions and impacted a very small number of users.
