This is not an issue with box-linux-sync, but rather with how davfs (possible webdav?) handles (or doesn't handle) special characters in passwords and how the characters get encoded/passed over https.

My password has a special character in it. This caused mounting to fail:

/sbin/mount.davfs: Mounting failed.
Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge
Failed to mount sync dir.

So, I don't expect any resolution in this project... but I wasn't sure how else to communicate the situation.

Perhaps this issue could be resolved by updating the README to indicate this restriction.

I get the same error and I have spaces in my password.
