Can you PLEASE ask the question ONCE?
I now have it in here, in a support ticket AND more or less also in a BUG.
I only work on Greenshot in my free time, when I have any, and don't get paid for it.
This means it can take a couple of days to respond, besides there are almost 1000 other feature requests and 2000 bug tickets.
This is not very constructive...

Hello Robin,
Sorry to disturb you again, but i need your help to get a final calrification. I could upload files to box via greenshot, during initial time it ask me to authenticate to box to upload file but later onward it connect automatically to box with out authentication, even i uninstall and install the greenshot application from my machine and also tried deleting .ini file. Could you please tell me where is this authentication info is stored or managed in greenshot? how greenshot is bypassing authentication to box after initial authentication?
I really appreciate your help on this.
Thanks

Hello Robin,
We are thinking to use some users to upload images in Box through greenshot but before we allow that we have to make sure that we are covering those security areas like authentication credentials, authentication token and client secrets are secure, i understand that you are extermily busy, i appreciate your help on this.
Thanks

Ah yes, we store the token encrypted in the Greenshot.ini

I'm sorry but I don't have time to explain the inside of Greenshot to every user.
We are only a 3 people team who develop in their free time, if I would answer everything in such details we wouldn't have time to develop anymore.
Is there a specific reason you need such detailed information? Maybe this helps me to focus on that which you need.
Hello,
I am planning to use greenshot to send screenshots to box using box plugin but before that i would like to know how box plugin works? especially Authentication and Authorization part? are we using Oauth 2 for authorization and authentication?
Thanks
