Can't find Preferences re loaing Filelink?

[Flycaster]

I'm trying to establish filelink, but the instructions that I got tell me how to find Preferences get me nowhere. Also, I tried downloading filelink, but it didn't load. I have the latest TB and would like to, or see the latest, instructions for getting filelink. Thanks.

Did you try to follow https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fi ... ttachments ?

On my PC tools -> options -> composition -> attachments shows that there is built-in support for WeTransfer. If you click on the "find more providers" link you can add support for Box, Dropbox etc. (easier than using a browser to download the add-on and then configure Thunderbird to install the add-on).

I have done this, but nothing happens when I choose to add Box to TB...like I expected Box to show up in TB's addons, but not there???

I just added "Filelink for Box" via clicking on "find more providers", and then clicking on the Add to Thunderbird button next to the Box add-on. It adds Box to the list of providers, and displays a warning triangle next to "Box" that its not configured yet. Clicking on it displays a "Connect to Box account" link that if I click on it brings up a tab that wants me to log into Box.

I'm using TB 78.7.0 under Windows 10. It does NOT add "FileLink for Box in tools -> add-ons". It only shows up in the list of added filelink providers and in the list of extensions in help -> troubleshooting information. This is sort of like what happens when you add a search provider extension using "add from file" in tools -> options -> general -> default search engine.

I did exactly a you did, and yet the box doesn't appear in the list of providers. I closed TB are reopened, but made no difference...no Box in the list. I then selected We Transfer, and it did appear in the lists

I'm using TB 78.6.1 under W10. Nor does Box appear anywhere in Troubleshooting Info.

BTW, I was having trouble finding how to even find the provider's list because the instructions never said that it was to be found under Options>Compositions. Instructions just said Options.

You are allowed to click Options and explore.

You know I know that. I was just saying that the instructions could have been more explicit...and nothing more.
BTW, would you also know how I can get Box in to the lists field. As you can see I did follow the instructions, but no Box.

Tools > Add-ons > Extensions.
Type Box into the Find more add-ons Search box.

Trouble with box registration.

OK, finally got Box (with a small yellow triangle to its right) into the lists field. However, when it came to "Connect your Box account...,) I see that I have to first have to register. Couldn't do this as I couldn't find where to register???

[WaltS48]

I added Box to a test profile.
Clicked the "Connect your Box Account" button.
A Customer Log In page opened in a Thunderbird tab.
Clicked the "Use Single Sign On (SSO) link.

I probably could have entered my Gmail address and password and it would work, but didn't pursue it any further as I don't need file transfer accounts.

The one supplied with Thunderbird (WeTransfer) would probably work for me.

Also, I just noticed the "Find more providers" link right underneath "Add WeTransfer", which is underneath the lists box.

I also clicked on Use Single Sign On (SSO) link, but still had to put in a PW, which I don't have because I first have to register and I don't know where to register???

You use the same password as the email account you used in the Username field.

Sorry to butt in, but I cannot get WeTransfer or any other FileLink provider to work. WeTransfer doesn't appear to have/need login (although I do have an account and used it manually via Firefox), while Box gives the dreaded yellow triangle and

Error:invalid_client
and a load of other stuff - where is the upload/attachment button on the Board?

Thunderbird 78.7.1 x64
