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​

  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

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
