WebDAV is gone? Linux alternatives?

Was using WebDav earlier this week since it supports Linux, but today it appears to have been broken.

OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to dav.box.com:443

 

The Box Status page had a banner briefly up today indicating that WebDAV was broken and being looked at, but now it is gone too. https://status.box.com/

 

I know the official word was that it was no longer actively supported.  Is there a Linux solution for mounting a filesystem view of it?

Hi Rodney, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

It's true that Box has reported a maintenance on our WebDAV services and has been completed a few hours ago. 

Additionally, our WebDAV server will continue to be available to end users until April 28, 2023. In preparation for this date, we recommend that customers migrate to one of alternatives available within Box. Suitable alternatives may be Box DriveBox.com web application, Box APIsFTP/FTPs service, E-mail upload and others.

Let us know if you have questions,

Hi! We need a Linux Client... We cannot just change the device or replace the operating system just for a cloud storage service that do not support the most used operating system
