Access box.com (box.net) from your Ubuntu

Several ways found so far, the suggested ‘through the nautilus’ webdav connection approach never worked for me on both 10.10 and 10.04. Maybe it works with a later version, I don’t know.
But here is an easy way to set it up.
* Open terminal
* sudo vim /etc/fstab
* append this line to the bottom:
https://www.box.com/dav /home/youruser/box.com davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0
Naturally change youruser to match your actual user.
* Save and exit vim
* cd ~
* mkdir box.com
* mount box.com/
* type your full user name, don’t forget the email part! (ie. name@email.com)
* enter password
That’s it.
After that you can use rsync, cp, mc or any other tool to copy data back and forth.
