Darkibox

Connect Darkibox accounts using an API key

Darkibox is a cloud file-hosting service. Drivebase connects to it using your personal API key to upload, download, organise, and stream files stored in your Darkibox account.

Prerequisites

1. Log in to Darkibox

Go to darkibox.com and sign in to your account.

2. Copy your API Key

Navigate to your account settings page. Your API key is listed there (e.g. 45whzlc91xqdmqm58). Keep this value — you will paste it into Drivebase.

Connecting in Drivebase

  1. Navigate to the Providers page.
  2. Click Connect Provider and select Darkibox.
  3. Paste your API key into the API Key field.
  4. Click Connect.

Drivebase will verify the key by calling the Darkibox account info endpoint and save your connection.

Your API key is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM and never stored in plain text.

Notes

  • Uploads are proxied through the Drivebase server (no direct browser-to-Darkibox upload). Drivebase first fetches an upload server URL from Darkibox, then streams your file there as multipart form data.
  • Downloads use a temporary direct link obtained from the Darkibox file/direct_link endpoint, bypassing the Drivebase server for better performance.
  • Folder copy is not supported by the Darkibox API; only file copy (clone) is available.
  • File remote IDs are the Darkibox file_code strings. Folder remote IDs are prefixed with fld_ (e.g. fld_12345).
