For “non secure dav” folks

Goto Start —> Places —> Connect to server,

Select “Custom Location”

In the “Location (URI)” field, enter dav://www.box.net/dav

Give a bookmark name then click “Connect”, give credentials.

You’re done, you have a desktop icon with your box.net files.

I tried with:

in nautilus and It worked, very slow but it worked. Then I just created a bookmark.

This doesn’t work on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy).

There is no “Secure WebDav (HTTPS)” option, just “WebDav (HTTP).

It seems that box.net has closed this service.

Thanks Vyazovoi Pavel ! Conduit is an exciting tool, the dream synchronization I want.

Sound like a cool idea. But in my “Connect to server” Secure WebDAV(https) is not listed in Service Type. I am running Hardy. Any suggestions?

Also, you can use application named “Conduit”. This is synchronization program. One of his function – synchronization box.net with local directory

Thanks! This saves me a lot of trouble, especially on linux. (box.net doesn’t seem to like linux veyr much)

To remove it, right-click it and press “unmount volume” (this is for feisty specifically, not sure about other versions)

Very cool!
But how do I remove it?
