Uptobox

This is a Backend for Uptobox file storage service. Uptobox is closer to a one-click hoster than a traditional cloud storage provider and therefore not suitable for long term storage.

Paths are specified as remote:path

Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. remote:directory/subdirectory.

Configuration

To configure an Uptobox backend you’ll need your personal api token. You’ll find it in your account settings

Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote with the default setup. First run:

  1. rclone config

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

  1. Current remotes:
  2. Name Type
  3. ==== ====
  4. TestUptobox uptobox
  5. e) Edit existing remote
  6. n) New remote

  1. rclone ls remote:

To copy a local directory to an Uptobox directory called backup

Modification times and hashes

Restricted filename characters

In addition to the default restricted characters set the following characters are also replaced:
