How to Access your Box.com Account from Ubuntu the Easy Way. This is a guide on How to Access your Box.com Account from Ubuntu the Easy Way Box.com offers 1GB of free online storage, accessible from anywhere. I use them to back up important files like ebooks I’ve paid for and don’t want to lose. Which got me thinking… how to access my files directly from Ubuntu?

If you have Box.com account, you can easily connect to it and manage the files directly from Ubuntu Terminal. This made possible with a package Cadaver. Cadaver is a webdav client for Linux. With this tool we can connect to Box.com account and manage our files. For more information, please visit Cadaver website. Cadaver command supports auto complete using Tab button. 

Turns out there is a really easy way to mount your box.net account. Go to Places \ Connect to Server:

You will be presented with this dialog:

For the User Name, enter your own username. Don’t use my username. For Server, enter www.box.net/dav

You can put whatever you want for the “Name to use for connection” textbox. That is the name that will appear on the desktop icon:

Double-click the icon, and you will be presented with an authentication dialog box asking you to login:

I chose to remember my password, because I dislike typing it over and over. That part is really up to you.

You should now be able to access your account.

Tested on: Ubuntu Dapper, Ubuntu Edgy Eft

ubuntu-budgie@ubuntu-budgie:~$ cadaver https://dav.box.com/dav
Authentication required for dav.box.com on server `dav.box.com':
Username:

Once its connected, you should have this on your command line

dav:/dav/>

To open the help menu, type “help” without quotes.

dav:/dav/> help
Available commands: 
 ls         cd         pwd        put        get        mget       mput       
 edit       less       mkcol      cat        delete     rmcol      copy       
 move       lock       unlock     discover   steal      showlocks  version    
 checkin    checkout   uncheckout history    label      propnames  chexec     
 propget    propdel    propset    search     set        open       close      
 echo       quit       unset      lcd        lls        lpwd       logout     
 help       describe   about      
Aliases: rm=delete, mkdir=mkcol, mv=move, cp=copy, more=less, quit=exit=bye
dav:/dav/> 

That’s it. Now you can open and manage your Box.com from Terminal.
