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.

Setup

Example

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

This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
