### Please describe the problem. With the upgrade to git-annex 6.20170925 I can no longer copy files to box via webdav. I notice that the changelog suggests that there were many changes to the webdav backend, including a new path for temporary files and url-escaping of file names. I have been using webdav + Box successfully for almost two years. My box/webdav backed was set up with chunking and encryption: WEBDAV_USERNAME=[username] WEBDAV_PASSWORD=[passwd] git annex initremote box type=webdav url=https://dav.box.com/dav/mystuff/annex chunk=100mb keyid=[keyid] Now when I try to add and copy a file to webdav I get the following error: (checking box...) DAV failure: Status {statusCode = 405, statusMessage = "Method Not Allowed"} "\n\n Sabre_DAV_Exception_MethodNotAllowed\n The resource you tried to create already exists\n\n" CallStack (from HasCallStack): error, called at ./Remote/WebDAV.hs:381:78 in main:Remote.WebDAV failed (recording state in git...) ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Add a file to an annex repo with a webdav backend set up per the settings above: git add test.pdf Attempt to copy that file to the webdav backend: git-annex copy -t box test.pdf ### What version of git-annex are you using?

(Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) Yes! A huge word of thanks for this amazing software! Since I work on multiple linux boxes, git annex keeps track of all my big files and enables me to move them back and forth with minimal fuss. > [[done]]; seems this is fixed. --[[Joey]]
