You are able to manually add files to the root filesystem (before starting boxedwine)
on Windows look at:
Users/YOUR_NAME/AppData/Roaming/Boxedwine/Containers/APP_CONTAINER_NAME/root/home/username/.wine/drive_c
Emscripten
Add upload/download button by editing boxedwine-shell.js and set:
DEFAULT_AUTO_RUN = false;
Config.showUploadDownload = true;
If you want to persist files (d:/) you can change the filesystem from MEMORY to LOCAL STORAGE via:
Config.storageMode = STORAGE_LOCAL_STORAGE;
There is also an option to use a dropbox account as a back-end, but I haven't tested that in years and probably is now out-of-date.
See instructions for more options

@kevodwyer Is it possible to load .exe files in Boxedwine from a URL, instead of manually adding them to the root file system?

kevodwyer commented

Yes, you can. See buildFlags.txt mentioned above for instructions.
Various options:

  • directly add fetch() call to the boxedwine-shell.js
  • use existing &app-payload=[base64 string] url parameter
  • use drag and drop to copy a zip file onto the canvas or use existing upload button
  • for full control - build upon boxedwine-shell-simple.js example in the project/emscripten directory
