Mobile procedure, requires Firefox with NoScript (you may be able to disable javascript in Chrome to achieve the same effect):

Background:
I store a lot of (legal) files for work purposes on a Google Drive, and box have (and are still) always been a bit of a tough cookie. I am aiming to ensure that I am able to get the files that I need, from many disparate sources (ftp/db/servers/etc) to the shared drive. That's doable if you're on a desktop, sure, but I want to be able to do this from a mobile device. Not so simple now. Box are very good as masking their URL, this is one of a few ways I've used to get it, this is just the simplest.
If any of the requirements would mess too much with your browser of choice on mobile, then just download the browser's beta version, and work there.
