Connecting Linkbox

This guide walks you through connecting a Linkbox storage destination to Pluton.

Prerequisites

Before connecting Linkbox, you need:

1. A Linkbox account — Sign up here
2. An API token from your Linkbox account settings

Getting Your Credentials

Step 1: Create a Linkbox Account

1. Go to linkbox.to and create an account
2. Verify your email address

Step 2: Get Your API Token

1. Log into your Linkbox account
2. Navigate to your Account Settings
3. Locate your API Token
4. Copy the token — you'll need it to configure Pluton

Connecting to Pluton

Step 1: Add Storage

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

Step 2: Configure Connection

Fill in the required fields:

• Storage Name: A friendly name (e.g., "Linkbox Backups")
• Token: Your API token from your Linkbox account settings

Step 3: Test and Save

1. Click Test Connection to verify credentials
2. If successful, click Save
3. Your Linkbox storage is now ready for backup plans

Common Issues

Authentication Failure: Ensure you're using the correct API token from your Linkbox account page at https://www.linkbox.to/admin/account. Regenerate the token if it has expired.

Invalid Characters in Filenames: Linkbox does not support invalid UTF-8 bytes in filenames. These characters will be automatically replaced during upload.

Best Practices

• Keep your API token secure and do not share it
• Regenerate your API token periodically for security
• Use descriptive storage names to easily identify this destination in your backup plans
