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: Complete the Storage Setup

1. Click the Add Storage button which automatically verifies credentials and adds the storage.
2. 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
