I've been trying for the last 6 days to get my Centos 6 VPS to talk to Box via davfs.........that's about the first time I've seen https:// mentioned in the process.
Yes, it should have been obvious :-\
Back to the drawing board....

I just manually link and login as needed since I generally don't like to automount anything that resides on a server I don't own.

If you don't want to autosync but just want to use your Box account as a network mounted share, this will show you how to set Box up in any Linux based file manager that has a "Connect to Server" option.

Gigolo does this on Xfce, but it has dependencies on gvfs, which has caused problems for me with Thunar, and the only fix was uninstalling gvfs. Apparently, thunar has been fixed, so I'll be trying again.
EDIT: mounting normally with 'mount -t davfs https://www.box.com/dav /home/edvard/Box' works fine, but Gigolo mounting with davs://www.box.com/dav results in 301... :-\
Maybe I'll just be content with manual mounting in a terminal, or whip up a shell script or maybe a GUI with Yad and call it good.

I have this working on Fedora. How can I help?
What's the VPS part after Centos?

Thanks - you might live to regret it though :( :P

Virtual Private Server, it's running a minimal install of CentOS 6 i386, (shell access only at this point), just enough to give me a AMPP setup atm.
I've installed davfs2 and neon but I'm currently getting the following:
/sbin/mount.davfs: can't open fuse device
/sbin/mount.davfs: trying coda kernel file system
/sbin/mount.davfs: no free coda device to mount

If it's any easier, I can load the VPS up with Fedora 14 or 17, (still trying to see which distro I like :) ).

I juts have signed up for 50GB account of Box.net. It is remarkably good and i wish i could get another one :-* I have observed that in short span, many start-ups entered into the market and offering free online storage service. I use Dropbox and SugarSync to save all my data.
