If you're on windows, you can define the path as:

vagrant box add box_name "C:\Users\JohnDoe\blahblah\box_name.box"

Notice the .box at the end of the path.

Then you can cd into the directory if you're not already there and do vagrant up.

I've solved a similar issue upgrading Vagrant to the latest version and magically it works... :/

Add the local box file using the full path with the file protocol URI. For instance:

vagrant box add centos file:///Users/zicjin/Work/vagrant-centos/centos.box

(the exact location of course depends on where you've put the file)
