Description

Hello,

Following the closure of Uptobox, a small hosting website has entered the file hosting business to try and take over the space left by Uptobox.

It seems to be based on the same foundations as Uptobox, the API seems similar and it works the same way: file management with folders using the API and pre-signed links to other domains for download/upload.

The API documentation is available here: https://darkibox.com/api.html

Have a good day, Maxime

Research direction
Read the Darkibox API documentation at https://darkibox.com/api.html. Examine the existing Uptobox remote implementation (if any) in the rclone codebase under backend/ directory, or another similar remote like Put.io. Understand the rclone backends interface (fs/fs.go) and implement the necessary operations (List, Put, Get, etc.). Check any prior discussion in the issue comments for guidance on scope and potential pitfalls.
