CKBox is a file management platform that makes working with your files easier while providing an outstanding user experience.

Quick start

Using a build served from the CDN is the simplest and fastest way of embedding CKBox in your application. Additionally, all the scripts served from the CDN are loaded faster, as they are hosted on multiple servers around the globe, shortening the response time.

To start using CKBox on your website, embed the following script element in the HTML code of the page:

<script src="https://cdn.ckbox.io/ckbox/2.14.0/ckbox.js"></script>

Quick implementation example:

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <script src="https://cdn.ckbox.io/ckbox/2.14.0/ckbox.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="ckbox"></div>
        <script>
            // You must provide a valid token URL in order to use the application
            // After registering to CKBox, the fastest way to try out CKBox is to use the development token endpoint:
            // https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckbox/latest/guides/configuration/authentication.html#token-endpoint
            CKBox.mount(document.getElementById("ckbox"), {
                tokenUrl: "https://your.token.url",
            });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>
