DiscBox is a desktop cloud storage application that lets you use Discord as a private storage backend. Upload, download, organize, and manage your files through a clean drive-like interface.
DiscBox turns Discord into a personal cloud drive.
Instead of using a traditional cloud provider, DiscBox stores your files through Discord webhooks. Files are split into chunks, uploaded to Discord, indexed locally, and restored when downloaded.
The application gives you a familiar desktop file manager experience while using Discord as the remote storage layer.
The easiest way to install DiscBox is through the latest GitHub release.
Click the button below:
Download the latest version of DiscBox
On the release page, scroll down until you see Assets.
This is where the downloadable files are listed.
Download one of these files:
| File | Recommended for |

DiscBoxSetup-0.1.0.exe |
Most users |
DiscBox-0.1.0-win-x64-portable.zip |
Portable use, no installer |
For most users, the recommended option is:
DiscBoxSetup-0.1.0.exeIf you downloaded the installer, open:
DiscBoxSetup-0.1.0.exeThen follow the installation steps.
If you downloaded the portable version, extract:
DiscBox-0.1.0-win-x64-portable.zipThen run DiscBox from the extracted folder.
The first setup guides you through adding your Discord webhook and creating your first DiscBox drive.

DiscBox uses Discord webhooks as the storage backend.
When you upload a file:
- DiscBox splits the file into smaller chunks.
- The chunks are uploaded to Discord using your webhook.
- File information is saved locally in a database.
- When you download the file, DiscBox retrieves the chunks and rebuilds the original file.
If encryption is enabled for a drive, files uploaded to that drive are encrypted before being sent to Discord and decrypted when downloaded through DiscBox.
To use DiscBox, you need a Discord webhook.
A webhook allows DiscBox to upload your file chunks to a Discord channel.
Open Discord and create a new server.
You can name it something like:
DiscBox StorageThis server should be private and used only by you.
Inside your server, create a new text channel.
Example name:
discbox-driveRecommended:
- Use one private channel per DiscBox drive.
- Do not share this channel with other people.
- Do not delete DiscBox messages from this channel manually.
Hover over the channel name and click the settings icon.
It usually looks like a small gear icon.
Inside the channel settings, open:
IntegrationsThen choose:
WebhooksClick:
New WebhookGive it a clear name, for example:
DiscBox DriveMake sure the webhook is assigned to the correct storage channel.
Click:
Copy Webhook URLThis URL is required by DiscBox.
Keep it private. Anyone with access to this webhook URL may be able to send messages to your Discord channel.
Open DiscBox and paste the webhook URL when creating a new drive.
You can then choose:
- Drive name
- Webhook URL
- Whether the drive should use encryption
After that, your Discord-backed drive is ready to use.
For the best experience, use this structure:
DiscBox Storage
├── drive-personal
├── drive-documents
└── drive-backupsEach channel can have its own webhook and each webhook can be added to DiscBox as a separate drive.
DiscBox supports optional encryption per drive.
When encryption is enabled:
- New files uploaded to that drive are encrypted before being sent to Discord.
- Files are automatically decrypted when downloaded through DiscBox.
- Existing files keep the encryption state they had when they were uploaded.
You can toggle encryption individually for each drive.
DiscBox was inspired by the original Disbox project.
It follows the same general idea of using Discord as a personal storage backend and is designed to be compatible with Disbox-style drives, allowing users to back up or migrate existing Disbox data into DiscBox.
DiscBox depends on both Discord and local metadata to manage your files correctly.
For best results:
- Keep your webhook URLs private.
- Do not manually delete DiscBox messages from Discord.
- Use private Discord channels.
- Use one webhook per drive.
- Keep a copy of important data outside DiscBox when needed.
