What is TeraBox?

TeraBox is a cloud storage service where you keep photos, videos, documents and other files online instead of only on your phone. You can open them from the app on Android or iPhone, from desktop apps, or from a web browser.

The service is known for offering a large amount of free storage compared with many competitors. Free accounts come with limits such as ads and slower transfers, and a paid plan removes or raises some of them. Plans and limits change, so check the official site for current details.

How to get started with TeraBox

  3. Upload your files. Tap the upload button and choose photos, videos or documents.

Keep your cloud files safe

Use official apps

Install only from official stores. Modified or unofficial apps can carry malware and put your account at risk.

Protect your login

Use a unique password and turn on extra verification where available.

Keep a second copy

Cloud storage is not a full backup. Keep copies of irreplaceable files elsewhere.

Review shared links

Delete links you no longer need, and never share sensitive documents publicly.
