About Box.net sync

rbianchi
I took advantage of the box.net offer for iPad users and now I have 50GB of storage on the web.
They say the webdav connection with the user accounts are not supported, but I could connect to the server from Zotero and is synchronizing.
How is this? Can anyone tell me whether it is reliable the synchronization with box.net? I searched the forums, but the results are not sorted by date, so I do not know how the current situation with box.net
Many thanks in advance for the help.

    I've benn syncing without problems till today. I get the following message when trying to verify the server:
    "Your WebDAV server must be configured to serve files without extensions and files with .prop extensions in order to work with Zotero"

    Do either of you have updates on this? I'm setting Zotero up on a new computer and am getting this error. Is syncing still working for you? Thanks!

    I've tried to sync with box.net several times more without success, both from PC & Mac. I've also contacted box.net support, and they don't give any support to WebDAV protocol. Noticeably, you can upload a file without extension or with .prop extension to box.net ????? Now I sync with zotero server.

    I'm having the same issue. What's strange is initially it worked fine when I set it up on my first computer and it uploaded all my attachments to the zotero folder on box.net. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but initially there was no Zotero folder and it asked me if I wanted to create one.

    Then when i tried to repeat on a second computer I got the error mentioned. When I went back to the first computer and tried to verify again, I also got the same error. I even tried installing the latest Trunk build but it didn't help.

    I can connect to the Zotero folder over WebDAV by mapping a drive in Windows explorer and I've been able to upload and download files with no extension and with .prop extension without issue.

    Anyone get this to work?

    Thanks.
