Function: Uploads the selected Finder Items to Box.net.
Author: Daniel Ryan
Notes: User needs to have connected to Box.net through Finder and saved password in keychain first. The action will connect to box.net, create a Folder on the desktop named “For Box.net”, copy the selected items to it, replace any spaces in the name to _, upload the files, eject the box.net disk, and permanently delete the “For Box.net” folder.
Requires the following Actions:
Temporary Storage Actions
Delete Files
Hello,
Sorry but I have a problem. When I execute this script, I have a problem with “copy finder items” (for box.net). This action …error.
Thanks a lot for your help!

In working with Box.net on a Mac, has anyone found a way to get Box.net to search and find Tags that they have placed in the Spotlight Comment box of the uploaded document.
I’m looking for a way to move away from organizing by folders and toward tagging documents. I’m also, then, working to move all my files to an online source.
I’m using QuickSliver to quickly tag all my files, then move them into one folder which I sync between my laptop and Box.net.
But to make this work effectively, I need to tag only once and these tags need to be found within Box.net’s search tools.
Any ideas? – DonM

this seems too complicated. i downloaded it and couldn’t get it to work so i tried to make my own. even though i’ve never done this before i came up with something that works. here’s a screenshot of the automator window. hopefully someone else finds it handy:

Whenever I run this, it moves the selected file(s) to the For Box.net folder, then deletes them along with it. It also does not eject the mounted network drive.
Is there something I’m doing wrong?
