Connecting Drime

This guide explains how to connect Drime cloud storage to Pluton for storing your backups.

Prerequisites​

  • A Drime account - Sign up here
  • An API Access Token generated from your Drime developer settings

Getting Your Drime Credentials​

Step 1: Create an API Access Token​

  1. Log into your account at drime.cloud
  2. Navigate to Settings → Developer
  3. Click Create a token
  4. Give the token a descriptive name (e.g., "Pluton Backups")
  5. Copy the generated token — this is your API Access Token

Connecting to Pluton​

Step 1: Add Storage​

  1. In Pluton, navigate to Storages
  2. Click Add Storage button
  3. Select Drime from the provider list

Step 2: Configure Connection​

Pluton Drime

Fill in the required fields:

  • Storage Name: A friendly name (e.g., "Drime Backups")
  • API Access Token: Paste the token you created in your Drime developer settings

Step 3: Advanced Options (Optional)​

Additional settings available:

  • Root Folder ID: Restrict Pluton to a specific folder in your Drime account. Leave blank to use your entire drive.
  • Workspace ID: If your account belongs to a specific workspace, enter its ID here.
  • Hard Delete: Enable to permanently delete files instead of moving them to trash.

Step 4: Test and Save​

  1. Click Test Connection to verify your token and connectivity
  2. If successful, click Save
  3. Your Drime storage is now ready for backup plans

Common Issues​

Authentication Failed: Verify that you copied the full API Access Token. Tokens can be regenerated from the Developer section in your Drime settings.

Folder Not Found: If you specified a Root Folder ID, double-check that the ID is correct and that your token has access to it.

Deleted Files Reappearing: By default, Drime uses soft delete (trash). Enable the Hard Delete option if you want permanent deletions.

Limitations​

  • Drime does not support modification timestamps — syncs rely on file size for comparison
  • Backslash characters and leading/trailing spaces in filenames are automatically replaced
  • Maximum stream upload size is approximately 48 GiB with default settings

Best Practices​

  • Generate a dedicated API token for Pluton rather than reusing tokens from other applications
  • Use the Root Folder ID setting to keep backups organized in a dedicated folder
  • Keep the Hard Delete option disabled unless you're certain you don't need trash recovery
