I like to access my data under linux (CentOs 8)  like on windows with box drive.
I found that it should be possible to mount my box data with davfs.
But if I try this I get the error:

/sbin/mount.davfs: Mointing failed.
403 Forbidden

I used the same user and password a I use when I access the data with a web browser.

Is mounting with davfs the correct way?
If not what else can I use to integrate by box data into my linux file system.

Hi Rolf, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

At the moment, Box does not support linux systems, please check this article to see the list of supported OS on Box: 

Your best bet is to use a supported browser into your linux systems.

Are there plans to support Linux systems. There is a client for MacOS so I think it wouldn't be too difficult to get the same on Linux.
