Zotero 5.0.18 WebDAV not working with Box.com (Error HTTP 404)
After upgrading from Zotero 4.0 my webdav server with throwing and HTTP 404 error when trying to verify. Worked fine on 4.0 and immediately after upgrading to 5.0, but now with the same setting its giving me an error. I uninstalled and deleted zotero files and reinstalled still same issue.

dstillmanBox verifies fine for me in 5.0. We can look at a Debug ID for a Verify Server attempt to see what's happening to you, but this isn't a general problem.

Jason WitmanHere is the debug ID: D10630753. I have narrowed this down to occurring after you change settings in the preferences. If you have 4.0 and upgrade to 5.0, it will work until you change the setting. My setting are the exact same. I didn't change them, just hit verify server and ok. Once you do that its broken.

dstillmanThis is a problem with your Box account:You're getting a 404 — and a permission-denied message — when Zotero tries to upload a test file. You'll have to talk to them. A PUT should never return a 404 for a valid path (in this case, for /dav/zotero/zotero-test-file.prop when /dav/zotero/ exists).

AnnZI just ran into a similar problem doing the Verify Server (with box.com), we finally realized that my box password had symbols in it. When I changed the password to only have numbers and letters, the Verify Server was successful. Not sure if that's what's going on here, but I thought I'd put it out there.
