Fix for Mounting Box.net As A Drive In Windows
Posted By Keith Dsouza On September 11, 2008 @ 2:04 pm In Tips And Tricks | 4 Comments
Quite sometime back we had written a popular post on how to mount Box.net in Windows [1], 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 [2] from Microsoft. Once you have done that, visit the tutorial to mount box.net as a folder [3] and follow the instructions given there. This tutorial is exactly similar for both Windows XP and Windows Vista [4], except that the screenshots may look a bit different.
So go ahead and add that additional online storage [5] space to your desktop.
Thanks for the tip Sam and Sandeep.
