Just upgraded to thunderbird 68.1.0 and it seems to lose the link, authorization or times out to Box. I create a new file and try to upload it and get an error message. "Upload Error" "unable to upload "filename" to Box. When I quit thunderbird and try again about 50% of the time it uploads without changing anything else. Other times I have to change the file name, delete or add a space and then it works. Since it works sometimes without changing anything not sure its a filename issue.

I've used Filelink for Box successfully in the past - I can't remember how long ago I last used it. Tonight I tried using it with Thunderbird 78.4.3 (and then later updated Thunderbird to 78.5.0).

I can't get Filelink for Box to "Connect your Box account" with Thunderbird.

In Thunderbird | Options | Composition | Attachments, Box has an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle alongside it. If I click on the "Connect your Box account" button, then Box open up in my Browser with "Log in to grant access to Box", I put in my email address and password, and click the "Authorize" button.

That gets me to a page which says "There seems to be a problem with this app, ... Error: invalid client"

Whatever the state of the arrow by "Show Error Details", no further details are shown.

Any ideas gratefully received ...

File versions not working when uploading files to Box in Thunderbird.

According to Box the API call needs to be changed. Here is the response from Box:

"Thank you for the provided information. I can see that the error being recorded is a naming conflict error, so it makes sense that the issue is resolved once you change the file name. The reason that this error is being thrown instead of the file version being incremented is that there is actually a different API call for uploading a new file version as opposed to just uploading a file: https://developer.box.com/reference#upload-a-new-version-of-a-file-1. So the app would need to be configured to make this API call in these scenarios. "

Unfortunately I am still seeing the same issue I reported in (the now closed issue) #3 with Thunderbird 91.2.1 (32-bit) ad version 5 of Filelink for Box.

I may be doing something stupid ... any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Filelink Bob works fine in 102 except it keeps losing its permission. I thought it was just after updates, but I find that often I upload files one days and it works fine and next day I have to go to the settings and once again connect it to my Box account. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Not sure if this is feasible, but it would be great to be able to pick a storage location, since it currently stores the Thunderbird folder in the root directory (which can be an issue if using a company's Box drive).

Thanks
