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 with the account token shown on your TeleBox account page (linkbox.to/admin/account) plus your TeleBox email and password. Together they give 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

Why connect TeleBox to CloudsLinker

CloudsLinker connects to TeleBox with the API token shown on your TeleBox account page (linkbox.to/admin/account) plus your TeleBox email and password. The token handles uploads and changes, while the login is used to list and download files, so all three are required. Once connected, transfers run server-to-server. 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).

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 needs three credentials: an API token from your account page, plus your account email and password.

Before you start

Get your TeleBox token:

  1. Sign in to your TeleBox account (web at https://www.linkbox.to or via the mobile app).
  2. Open https://www.linkbox.to/admin/account and choose My Account.
  3. Copy the value beside Token.
  4. Keep it private: it is used together with your email and password.

Connection steps

  1. In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud → choose TeleBox.
  2. Enter a display name (e.g. “TeleBox — phone backup”).
  3. Enter the token from step 4 above, your TeleBox email and your TeleBox password. All three are required; without the email and password file downloads fail.
  4. Click Confirm — CloudsLinker signs in to TeleBox and shows the connection ready.

Revoke access

To end CloudsLinker’s access later, delete the TeleBox connection under My Linkers in CloudsLinker, then change your TeleBox password. Reconnect any time by adding TeleBox again with the token, email and password.

TeleBox upload & download limits you should know

TeleBox publishes few exact technical specifications; key user-facing limits:

  • Free baseline: 5 GB storage on signup.
  • Bonus storage: unlockable by watching ads, referring friends, completing achievements, or upgrading to Premium.
  • Premium plans: higher permanent storage tiers (specific pricing varies by region — check TeleBox app for current rates in your locale).
  • Per-file size: no published hard cap. Multi-GB files supported via chunked upload.
  • File types supported: videos, photos, documents, audio, arbitrary file formats.
  • Multi-device: iOS, Android, web access.
  • Authentication: API token plus account email and password (all three required).
  • Architecture: reportedly built atop Telegram’s file-hosting infrastructure (third-party reports; not officially confirmed by TeleBox).
  • Data residency: not publicly disclosed for specific datacenter regions.
  • Inactivity policy: free-tier cloud services commonly delete inactive-account content after a period; TeleBox’s specific policy isn’t publicly documented.
  • Trash retention: typically 30 days for premium accounts.
  • Service evolution: rebranded from LinkBox to TeleBox; same product underneath.

TeleBox + CloudsLinker — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a TeleBox token for CloudsLinker?

Sign in at linkbox.to/admin/account, open My Account and copy the value beside Token. In CloudsLinker choose Add Cloud → TeleBox and enter a display name, the token, your TeleBox account email and your TeleBox account password. All three are required; without the email and password file downloads fail. Treat the token like a password.

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?

CloudsLinker uses your TeleBox token and your account email and password to sign in to TeleBox and read or write your files. Use a TeleBox password you do not reuse elsewhere. To end the access, delete the TeleBox connection under My Linkers in CloudsLinker and change your TeleBox password.

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 the destination cloud's ingress speed; no throughput figure is published, so run a small folder first and time it.

Can I migrate between two TeleBox accounts?

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

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 API under your token and account login. Revoke access by deleting the TeleBox connection in CloudsLinker and changing your TeleBox password.
