Yes, they try real hard to sell you services and apts - you can ignore all of that if you wish.
This (and nearly any other) 'Cloud Service' is a super-set of the WebDAV protocol.
So yes, you can use WebDAV enabled applications,
See:
https://support.box.com/entries/2035...upport-WebDAV-
(Yes, from a desktop also - ignore the hard sell marketing.)
If you are viewing your main account (files) page in a browser while using cadaver, it will post the most recent action it (you) preformed.
Yes, cadaver has a help command (and 'folders' are called 'collections').
Yes, you can set your account to share with others (either by blind, read-only links or with read/write collaboration).
No, I am not selling Box.com services - but it is there and a free place to use as a test target.

With a little bit of source code diddling to make cadaver usable from scripting, this will allow us to provide a KUAL button to find and directly download Kindle add-ons.
While allowing application developers an easy place to publish their application bundles.
(the 'stock' cadaver does not read commands from stdin)
Disclaimer: WebDAV is not the only way to do the above, so my idea here may die due to a better one replacing it.
So, yes, there is a reason for a WebDAV client on a Kindle.
Someone please test Brian's build for us.
