box-linux-sync - A naïve Box.com Linux Client¶
An unofficial attempt to create a Linux synchronization client because Box.com does not provide one.
Overview¶
File synchronization is currently done using the WebDAV interface provided by Box.com. There is also a Python API available but I haven’t started to mess with it.
Requirements¶
Installation¶
$ cd ~/path/of/your/choice
$ git clone git://github.com/noiselabs/box-linux-sync.git
Installation via Pip is not currently available. Let’s wait for a proper release, OK?.
Usage¶
Check environment and setup box-sync and it’s dependencies:
$ cd ~/path/to/box-linux-sync/bin
$ ./box-sync check && ./box-sync setup
Edit ~/.noiselabs/box/box-sync.cfg to fit your preferences:
$ vim ~/.noiselabs/box/box-sync.cfg
; box-sync.cfg
[main]
; Path to your Box sync dir. Use a relative path to place this dir
; inside $HOME or an absolute path. Default: Box
box_dir = Box
; Wether to use a WebDAV filesystem to synchronize your local and
; remote files. Default: true
use_davfs = true
Start synchronization via Davfs:
$ ./box-sync start
Stop synchronization:
$ ./box-sync stop
Send box-sync into oblivion when you get tired of it.
This just removes box-sync configuration files and the repository, not your personal Box.com files (unless you have configured the box_sync dir to be inside ~/.noiselabs).
$ ./box-sync uninstall
$ rm ~/path/to/box-linux-sync
