TeraBox is a cloud storage service best known for giving new users 1TB of free space — far more than most competitors. Here's what it is and how it works.
What TeraBox does
TeraBox lets you upload documents, photos, and videos and access them from any device — web, desktop, or mobile app. You can back up files automatically and share them with others via links.
The 1TB free storage
The headline feature is 1TB (about 1000GB) of free storage. That's enough for hundreds of thousands of photos or a huge video library, which is why it's popular for sharing large media files.
Key features
- Automatic photo and video backup from your phone.
- Shareable links for files and folders.
- Folders, version history, and cross-device access.
- Streaming playback for videos stored in the cloud.
The limits to know
- The free tier shows ads and pushes premium upgrades.
- Download and upload speeds can be limited without premium.
- Individual file-size and daily limits apply on the free plan.
- Privacy: like most free services, it collects usage data — avoid storing highly sensitive files unencrypted.
Who is it for?
TeraBox is great for anyone who needs lots of cheap space for media and file sharing. For sensitive documents, pair it with a more privacy-focused service.
