Cloud storage services have represented an excellent alternative to store our files when we do not have enough space on the PC or we want to have them available in the cloud to access them from anywhere.
In that sense, Google Drive, OneDrive, Mega and Dropbox They are the most used cloud storage services.
Each one of them can be used for freealthough they also have premium plans, so you can choose the one that suits your storage needs.
However, if you plan to use this service to host large files or a large number of these in the cloud, as if it were a hard drive, then let us tell you that this will not be enough, given the low storage limit they offer, at least in its free version.
Thus, in the case of MEGA, it only offers 20 GB of space, while Google Drive allows you a maximum storage limit of 15 GB.
It is in these cases where it is necessary to pay a premium plan that allows you expand the storage limit provided by any of these options, although this is not something that everyone can afford to do.
This is where TeraBox comes into play, a platform that offers you the opportunity to host large files thanks to its 1TB free plan.
This is how TeraBox emerges as a new option in the cloud hosting services sector, which, in addition to allowing you to store your files in the cloud, offers you applications that can be installed on Windows, Android and iOS operating systems.
Among the most outstanding features that TeraBox has is that of allow playback of video files in HD quality from the platform itself, as well as audio files.
In addition, with TeraBox you will not have problems to view images and documents in format PDF. This cloud storage service also has an option to share your files with third parties.
However, it is the remote charging function which distinguishes TeraBox from other similar services, since through it you will have the opportunity to download files directly to your bill from HTTPS links, Magnet or Torrents. In this way you avoid the need to previously download it to your hard drive and then transfer it to this platform.
However, despite the advantages of the free version of TeraBox, it has some aspects to consider:
- Advertising: This usually appears more in the mobile version than in the desktop one.
- Size and number of uploaded files: TeraBox will allow you to upload a maximum amount of 500 files of 4 GB each, while with the premium version each file can be 20 GB.
- Resolution: The maximum display quality for videos is 720pwhile in the premium version it is 1080p.
- Deleted files: All those files deleted in TeraBox can be recovered from the recycle bin within 20 dayswhile for the premium version the term is 30 days.
In addition to this, the free version of TeraBox does not have automatic backupas well as neither cloud decompression functioneither safe function to allow file encryption.
If you decide to purchase the TeraBox premium plan you can do so for a value of €3.99 per monthin which you will also get a storage space, not of 1 but of 2TB.
