Quite sometime back we had written a popular post on how to mount Box.net in Windows, though the trick worked pretty nicely, the access was restricted after some time, making it impossible to load Box.net as a drive.

There is a simple fix for the problem though and you can once again mount Box.net as a network drive in Windows.

Before you can mount your drive in Windows just download and install a Software Update for Web Folders from Microsoft. Once you have done that, visit the tutorial to mount box.net as a folder and follow the instructions given there. This tutorial is exactly similar for both Windows XP and Windows Vista, except that the screenshots may look a bit different.

So go ahead and add that additional online storage space to your desktop.

Thanks for the tip Sam and Sandeep.
