Connecting premiumize.me

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

Prerequisites​

Before connecting premiumize.me, you need:

  1. A premiumize.me account - Sign up here
  2. A web browser to complete the OAuth authentication flow

About premiumize.me​

premiumize.me is a premium multi-hoster and cloud storage service. It provides cloud storage alongside download and streaming capabilities. Pluton connects to premiumize.me using OAuth authentication, so your account password is never stored directly.

Getting Your Credentials​

Step 1: Authenticate via OAuth​

premiumize.me uses OAuth for secure authorization. During the connection process in Pluton, you will be redirected to premiumize.me's login page to authorize access.

tip

If your Pluton server does not have a web browser available (e.g., a headless server), you will need to run rclone authorize "premiumizeme" on a machine that does have a browser, then paste the resulting token into Pluton's OAuth Access Token field. See Rclone Remote Setup for details.

Step 2: (Optional) Get an API Key​

If you prefer using an API key instead of OAuth:

  1. Log into your premiumize.me account
  2. Navigate to your account settings
  3. Locate and copy your API key
  4. Use this key in the API Key field in Pluton

OAuth is the recommended authentication method. The API key method is available as an alternative.

Connecting to Pluton​

Pluton premiumize.me

Step 1: Add Storage​

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

Step 2: Configure Connection​

Fill in the required fields:

  • Storage Name: A friendly name (e.g., "Premiumize Backups")
  • OAuth Access Token: The OAuth token obtained during authorization. For browser-based OAuth, this is populated automatically. For headless setups, paste the token from rclone authorize

Alternatively, you can authenticate using:

  • API Key: Your premiumize.me API key (use this instead of OAuth if preferred)

Step 3: Advanced Options (Optional)​

Additional settings available:

  • Client ID: OAuth Client ID. Leave blank to use Pluton's default application credentials
  • Client Secret: OAuth Client Secret. Leave blank normally
  • Client Credentials: Enable to use the OAuth2 Client Credentials Flow (RFC 6749)

Step 4: Test and Save​

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

Common Issues​

OAuth Token Expired: premiumize.me tokens can expire. Re-authorize through Pluton to refresh your connection, or generate a new token using rclone authorize "premiumizeme".

Headless Server Authentication: If your Pluton server has no browser, run rclone authorize "premiumizeme" on a machine with a browser, then paste the resulting JSON token into the OAuth Access Token field.

API Key Not Working: Ensure you copied the complete API key from your premiumize.me account settings. If it still fails, try the OAuth method instead.

File System Limitations​

No Modification Times: premiumize.me does not support file modification times or hashes. Syncing defaults to size-only checking.

Restricted Characters: Backslash (\) and double-quote (") characters in file names are automatically replaced during upload.

Best Practices​

  • Use OAuth authentication for the most reliable connection experience
  • Since premiumize.me does not support modification times, Pluton will use size-only checks for change detection
  • Regularly verify that your premiumize.me subscription is active to prevent backup interruptions
  • For headless server setups, keep the rclone authorize workflow documented for token renewal
