You can easily disable Uptobox authorization in Kodi with just a few quick steps. In this guide, I‘ll show you exactly how to do it so you can get back to smooth, uninterrupted streaming.

Let‘s get started!

What Is Uptobox and Why Does It Cause Verification Messages?

First, a quick background on Uptobox.

Uptobox is a file hosting service launched in 2011 that allows users to upload and share files. It operates on a credit-based system where you earn credits for uploads that can then be used to download other users‘ files.

There are also paid Uptobox Premium accounts available that provide unlimited downloads, faster speeds, and other benefits.

Over the past few years, Uptobox has become increasingly popular among third-party Kodi addons as a file locker for hosting streaming content.

Many addons now utilize Uptobox links. This allows the addon to provide tons of streams by pulling from files stored on the Uptobox servers.

The problem arises when you click one of these Uptobox sources but don‘t have a paid Uptobox account.

Instead of streaming the video, you get a frustrating verification pop-up asking for authorization, a waiting time, or a username/password.

This is where disabling Uptobox comes in handy! By turning off Uptobox in Kodi, we can avoid those useless messages entirely.

Next, I‘ll show you step-by-step how to disable it.

Step 1: Access the ResolveURL Settings

The first thing we need to do is access the ResolveURL settings. This is where we can turn off specific streaming resolvers that addons use.

Here‘s how to get there:

1. Open your preferred Kodi addon that you want to disable Uptobox in. For this guide, I‘ll use The Crew addon.

2. Go to the Tools section of the addon.

3. Click on "ResolveURL Settings".

This will open the ResolveURL settings where we can disable Uptobox.

Pretty simple so far, right? Now let‘s move on to step 2.

Step 2: Locate the Uptobox Resolver

In the ResolveURL settings, you‘ll see a list of the many different resolvers that the addon can utilize to pull streams from various sources.

To disable Uptobox, we need to find it in this list. Just follow these steps:

1. In ResolveURL settings, go to the "Resolvers" section.

2. Scroll down the list until you see "Uptobox" – it‘s usually toward the bottom.

3. Highlight the Uptobox resolver.

And there we have it – Uptobox is now selected and ready to be disabled.

Now onto step 3!

Step 3: Toggle Off the Uptobox Resolver

This is the moment we‘ve been waiting for. With Uptobox selected, it‘s time to disable it for good.

Simply follow these steps:

1. With Uptobox resolver highlighted, click the slider button next to it to toggle it off.

2. The button will turn grey when Uptobox is disabled.

And we‘re done! It‘s really that easy – just a simple click to disable that pesky Uptobox resolver for good.

No more annoying pop-up messages interrupting your streams. Just smooth, seamless streaming from here on out.

Now the Uptobox resolver is officially disabled. Just one short step left…

Step 4: Confirm Settings Change

To complete the process, we just need to confirm the change in ResolveURL:

1. Click "OK" to close the ResolveURL settings window.

2. If prompted, click "Yes" to keep changes.

And that‘s it! Uptobox is now fully disabled.

The entire process only takes about a minute. Just 4 quick steps and you can say goodbye to those annoying popups for good.
