{{< icon "fa fa-archive" >}} 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:

rclone config

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

Current remotes:

e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
r) Rename remote
c) Copy remote
s) Set configuration password

Once configured you can then use rclone like this,

List directories in top level of your Uptobox

rclone lsd remote:

List all the files in your Uptobox

rclone ls remote:

To copy a local directory to an Uptobox directory called backup

rclone copy /home/source remote:backup

Modification times and hashes

Uptobox supports neither modified times nor checksums. All timestamps
will read as that set by --default-time.

Restricted filename characters

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

Character	Value	Replacement
"	0x22	＂
`	0x41	｀

Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced,
as they can't be used in XML strings.
