There is hope for a future where official support is no longer needed. In a significant development from late 2025, a community developer created a fork called rclone-extra with the specific goal of adding these backends to the official rclone project. The developer engaged with the rclone maintainers on the official forum, who were receptive to the idea and provided guidance on how to submit the new backends as separate Pull Requests (PRs).
Sometime in the last few months, Terabox made server-side changes that broke those unofficial API endpoints. Specifically:
