Box.net desktop for Macs (sorta)
UneasySilence's Dan says:
An Automator script was created to help, errrrrr, automate Box.net uploads.
To access Box.net in MacOS X it requires no additional software or special configurations.
In the MacOS Finder select the GO menu then choose Connect to Server (Or even simpler Command-K).
Plug in the address:
https://www.box.net/dav
