Migrate to/from TeleBox / LinkBox (Telegram-Style Cloud)

What is TeleBox?

TeleBox (formerly LinkBox) is a cloud-storage service popular in Asia — particularly Southeast Asia and India — for its low-friction signup, free-tier-with-bonuses model, and Telegram-style content-saving workflow. New users get 5 GB free on signup, with additional storage unlocked by watching ads, referring friends to create accounts, or upgrading to Premium. The mobile app supports backup of videos, photos, documents, audio, and arbitrary files with multi-device access — competing in the same niche as PikPak (also Asia-focused) but with a more conventional 'cloud storage app' UX rather than PikPak's torrent / magnet / Telegram-bot focus.

Where TeleBox fits is the budget Asia mobile-first cloud segment — users who want a free cloud for phone backup beyond Google's 15 GB cap, without paying $9.99/mo for Google One 2 TB. Account creation requires only an email + confirmation code, with the backend storage architecture (according to scattered third-party reports) layered atop Telegram's free file-hosting infrastructure. CloudsLinker connects via the account token generated from TeleBox's API/developer settings page (exact path varies by app version). The token grants programmatic read/write access to your stored files — useful for migrating content out of TeleBox to a more permanent / regional cloud (Google Drive, OneDrive, S3 archive).

Key features of TeleBox

5 GB free + earnable bonuses

5 GB free on signup. Unlock additional storage by watching ads, referring friends, completing achievements, or upgrading to Premium. Bonus storage common to Asia mobile-first clouds (similar pattern at PikPak).

Email + confirmation-code signup

Account creation requires only email + a confirmation code (no phone, no card, no real-name verification). Designed for low-friction Asia mobile audience.

Telegram-style content saving

Mobile app supports saving content from various platforms (similar conceptual workflow to PikPak's Telegram bot integration). Multi-device access across iOS, Android, web.

Token-based API access

Token generated from account settings → API / developer page. Account-equivalent for API access; revocable from the same page. CloudsLinker uses this path for programmatic file access.

Asia-popular (SE Asia + India)

Userbase concentrated in Southeast Asia, India, and parts of East Asia. Less name recognition in Western markets compared to Google Drive / Dropbox.

Formerly LinkBox

TeleBox was previously named LinkBox; rebranded to TeleBox in recent years. API documentation still references both names. Same product, same data.

Why connect TeleBox to CloudsLinker

CloudsLinker connects to TeleBox using an account token generated from the API or developer settings page in your TeleBox account. The token is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and decrypted only inside the active transfer worker. Once connected, transfers run server-to-server through TeleBox's REST API. Use as source for migrating TeleBox content out — particularly useful for users who started on TeleBox for free phone backup and have outgrown the bonus-storage model, or who want to consolidate onto a more conventional cloud (Google Drive, OneDrive).

What you can do with TeleBox on CloudsLinker

TeleBox → any cloud copy

Migrate from TeleBox to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, Wasabi or B2 via account token API access. Useful for offloading content before TeleBox's free-tier bonuses expire.

Runs on our servers

TeleBox transfers execute on CloudsLinker infrastructure. Useful for migrating multi-GB phone-backup libraries without consuming home internet for hours.

Scheduled batch sync

Hourly / daily / weekly schedules. Useful for ongoing offload of new TeleBox content (mobile photo backups, document scans) to a permanent cloud.

Filter by folder, type, size

Migrate only specific folders, exclude files larger than the destination's cap, or back up just photos / videos.

Common TeleBox transfer scenarios

Migrate TeleBox phone backup → Google Drive / OneDrive permanent storage

Many TeleBox users started on the platform for free phone backup beyond Google's 15 GB cap. As the bonus-storage model becomes harder to maintain (ads expire, referrals dry up), users migrate to conventional clouds. CloudsLinker copies the entire TeleBox library to Google Drive (15 GB free) or OneDrive (5 GB free) preserving folder structure.

Cold-archive TeleBox content → S3 / B2 (permanent)

TeleBox's bonus-storage model is dependent on user activity (ad-watching, referrals). For long-term archive that doesn't require ongoing maintenance, migrate TeleBox content to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval ($0.004/GB) or B2 ($6/TB) via CloudsLinker. Pay-once, store-forever.

Backup TeleBox before account inactivity policies kick in

Free-tier cloud services often have inactive-account policies that delete content after 6–12 months of inactivity. If you have content on TeleBox you don't actively access, migrate it to a stable cloud (Google Drive, OneDrive, B2) via CloudsLinker before the inactivity timer triggers.

Cross-cloud DR for TeleBox photo / video archive

Family photos and videos backed up to TeleBox warrant a second copy on independent infrastructure. Schedule a CloudsLinker monthly incremental from TeleBox to Wasabi ($6.99/TB) or B2 — provider-independent redundancy.

Migrate TeleBox → PikPak (or vice versa) for feature consolidation

TeleBox and PikPak overlap in the Asia cloud-storage niche. Users sometimes consolidate onto one platform based on regional pricing or feature preferences. CloudsLinker handles cross-service migration preserving folder structure where both services support it.

How to connect TeleBox to CloudsLinker

TeleBox uses a token generated from your account’s API / developer settings.

Before you start

Generate a TeleBox account token:

Sign in to your TeleBox account (web at https://www.linkbox.to or via the mobile app).
Open Account Settings → navigate to the API, Developer, or Security settings page (the exact menu structure varies by TeleBox version).
Find the Token or API Access section.
Click Generate Token or Show Token. Copy the displayed token.

Connection steps

In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud → choose TeleBox.
Enter a display name (e.g. “TeleBox — phone backup”).
Paste the token from step 4 above.
Click Confirm — CloudsLinker validates the token by listing your TeleBox root and shows the connection ready.

Revoke access

To revoke CloudsLinker’s token later: TeleBox account settings → API / Developer → find the token → click Revoke or Delete. Token becomes immediately invalid; your account password is unaffected. Reconnect by generating a new token.

TeleBox + CloudsLinker — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a TeleBox token for CloudsLinker?

Sign in to your TeleBox account → navigate to Account Settings → API / Developer page (exact menu path varies by TeleBox app version) → click Generate Token or Show Token. Copy the displayed token. Paste into CloudsLinker. The token is account-equivalent — revoke it from the same page if compromised.

Is TeleBox the same as LinkBox?

Yes — TeleBox is the rebranded name of LinkBox. Same product, same backend, same data. API documentation still references both names. If you have an older LinkBox account, it works seamlessly with the TeleBox app and API.

How do bonus storage unlocks work?

Beyond the 5 GB free baseline, TeleBox lets you unlock additional storage through: (1) watching ads in the mobile app, (2) referring friends who create accounts, (3) completing in-app achievements / promotions, (4) upgrading to Premium. Bonus storage from ads and referrals is typically capped per period and may expire if not maintained — Premium offers permanent storage tier increases.

Are my TeleBox credentials safe with CloudsLinker?

Yes. The token is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and decrypted only inside the active transfer worker. Best practice: if you suspect compromise, revoke the token from your TeleBox API settings — instantly invalidates the previous token. Your account password is unaffected.

What's the maximum file size on TeleBox?

TeleBox doesn't publish a hard per-file size cap. Files supported include videos, photos, documents, audio, and arbitrary file types. CloudsLinker handles large files via chunked upload through the API. For very large videos (multi-GB), test with a representative file before scheduling bulk migration.

Where is TeleBox hosted?

TeleBox doesn't publicly disclose specific datacenter regions. Architecture has been reported (third-party) as layered atop Telegram's file-hosting infrastructure, which spans multiple regions. For users with strict data-residency requirements, prefer regional clouds (Google Drive in your region, S3 with region selection, EU-only options like Drime / Filen).

How fast can CloudsLinker pull from TeleBox?

Throughput depends on TeleBox's regional CDN performance and destination cloud's ingress speed. Typical sustained throughput is 100–300 GB/day per token connection. Asia-hosted destinations (Google Drive Singapore, S3 Tokyo) tend to be fastest.

Can I migrate between two TeleBox accounts?

Yes. Connect each account as a separate cloud in CloudsLinker (each with its own token), then run an account-to-account copy. Folder structure and file content transfer; account-specific share links don't (token-scoped).

Does TeleBox have inactivity-deletion policies?

Free-tier cloud services commonly delete inactive-account content after 6–12 months. TeleBox's specific policy isn't publicly documented in detail. Best practice for long-term archive: migrate critical TeleBox content to a stable cloud (Google Drive paid, B2, S3) where inactivity deletion isn't a risk.

Is this an official TeleBox / LinkBox partnership?

No. CloudsLinker is a third-party tool that uses TeleBox's public API under your account token. Revoke access by deleting the token from your TeleBox account settings → API page.
