## About

Enterprise cloud content management platform for secure file sharing and collaboration

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in March 2026 found that the website loads and is browsable, but Syria is missing from the country list on the payment page during signup, and a credit card is required, making it impossible to create an account from Syria. The restriction has been verified, but no outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-11 — Investigated. Community testing from Syria (IP 5.0.116.248) confirmed that Box's main website at box.com loads normally and is browsable. However, during the signup process, Syria is not listed in the country dropdown on the payment information page, making it impossible for Syrian users to create an account. Box requires a credit card during registration, and the country list skips from Switzerland directly to Taiwan with no Syria option. Status set to restricted.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
