[Box Backup] Can Win32 client backup files from another machine?

[Andrei]

The computers are in a workgroup. No special settings, just a simple
home network. Anyway, I don't think this has any relevance, if you can
access the drive in explorer, so should BoxBackup. I remember I kept
getting an error until I removed the last backslash (after the last
directory in the path).
