Authorize a cloud service for remote import
Generate the token required by pCloud, Box and other token-based sources, paste it into the import form, and test the connection before copying.
Last reviewed
Some sources need you to run rclone authorize on your own computer once to sign in and obtain a token. The later copy still runs on dosya’s servers. You do not need to leave rclone running during the import.
This authorization step is different from running rclone transfers yourself, where your computer performs the copy.
Services that need a token
The import form shows the exact command for the service you select.
| Service | Command |
|---|---|
| pCloud | rclone authorize "pcloud" |
| Box | rclone authorize "box" |
| Citrix ShareFile | rclone authorize "sharefile" |
| Yandex Disk | rclone authorize "yandex" |
| Zoho WorkDrive | rclone authorize "zoho" |
| put.io | rclone authorize "putio" |
| premiumize.me | rclone authorize "premiumizeme" |
| HiDrive | rclone authorize "hidrive" |
| Huawei Drive | rclone authorize "huaweidrive" |
Steps: get and use the token
- Open Import from another cloud and select the service marked Token.
- Install rclone on your computer using the installation link in the rclone setup guide, if it is not already installed.
- Use Copy beside the authorization command. Run that command in a terminal on your computer.
- Complete the source service’s sign-in and authorization prompts. Check that you are signing in to the account whose files you want to import.
- Copy the complete JSON token printed by rclone and paste it into the form’s Token field. Do not paste the surrounding terminal instructions or only the access-token value.
- Complete any other required connection fields and select Test connection. Confirm that the file listing belongs to the expected account.
- Continue with Start a cloud import.
Keep the token private. Do not include it in screenshots or support messages. If the service refuses the token, authorize again and replace the field before testing the connection. The token does not replace other fields requested by the service, such as its hostname or region.
Expected result
Test connection lists files from the account you authorized. You can then choose a destination and start the server copy without keeping local rclone running.
