Trying to set up a Box account following Thunderbird instructions, but I keep getting "invalid login credentials." I've updated to TB 45.0.

Forget it. I just figured it out. Thunderbird instructions were inadequate. Now I see we have to pay for Box. TB should have put all this info up front in its instructions. Would have saved me an hour.

You can use Dropbox instead. Just install this add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/dropbox-for-filelink

Problem is Dropbox add on is only good up to TB ver. 24. The add on site shows others have problems getting it to work for newer versions.

I had it installed quite a while ago and it does still work here.
