We mentioned Box.net, an iDisk-like online hard drive service, back when we could begin mounting them on our Macs. To simplify uploading files to your Box.net account, Daniel Ryan has created an Automator action that not only lets you upload with a simple right click, but it also takes care of changing any aces in file names to underscores, making them much more web-friendly. It i 't difficult to set up or use, but be sure to read Daniel's i tructio at Automator World, as the action depends on you having mounted your drive with Mac OS X (which creates a Keychain item to store your pa word). If Box.net i 't much more than a file repository for sharing (perha via their blog-friendly widget), this action should streamline your efforts.
