# Linkbox

Linkbox is [a private cloud drive](https://linkbox.to/).

## Configuration

Here is an example of making a remote for Linkbox.

You will need:
- An API token from https://www.linkbox.to/admin/account
- The email and password for your Linkbox account

**Note:** As of v1.74, email and password are required in addition to
the API token. The API token is used for uploads and modifications,
while email/password authentication is used for listing and
downloading files. If you have an existing Linkbox remote, you will
need to reconfigure it with `rclone config` to edit the remote and add
the email and password.

First run:

```console
rclone config
```

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:

```text
No remotes found, make a new one?
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n

Enter name for new remote.
name> remote
