Second tip: CloudFS

So hope that first tip - the one with the API/test accounts - can do you a favor. So this one will give you some info about our Auth. Enjoy :).

AUTHENTICATION
  1. How do I generate an access token?

    For free CloudFS accounts, you can generate Test Account access tokens via the Test Account Management Screen. For all other types of plans, please refer to our documentation

  2. What authentication and authorization choices are available with CloudFS APIs?

    Our CloudFS platform uses a simple token based authentication system. For additional information on authentication, please refer to our documentation.

  3. What is OAuth?

    OAuth is an open standard for authorization. OAuth provides client applications a 'secure delegated access' to server resources on behalf of a resource owner.

  4. Why do I need my own authentication server?

    CloudFS is designed to provide cloud storage.

  5. Do API access tokens expire?

    Access tokens expire in 30 days, but do auto-renew when used.
