Not everyone can afford to pay for a cloud storage platform, although in recent years, the price of storage has come down a lot and for very little money per month, we can enjoy 1 or 2 TB of space in the cloud. However, if the option to pay does not cross our minds, the solution is to use TeraBox, a cloud storage platform that offers us 1 TB of space completely free.
Currently, Mega with 20 GB and Google Drive with 15 GB, are the two platforms that offer us the most storage space completely free of charge, although Mega limits the use of bandwidth and Google Drive shares the space with Google Photos and Gmail, so in the end, the storage space is reduced.
What TeraBox offers us
TeraBox puts at our disposal 1 TB of space totally free, a platform that, furthermore, we can not only use from our Windows computer, but that, in addition, is also available for iOS and Android, so it is an excellent option to have a backup of all the images and videos that we record with our device. It includes a secure folder where we can store files with a maximum of 200 MB and the recycling bin allows us to recover files that we have deleted during the 10 days after their deletion.
However, it has a series of limitations that for some users are more than enough not to consider using it. The first limitation that we find with this platform is that includes advertisingparticularly excessive advertising on the mobile app and less intrusive on the Windows version.
Another limitation that we are going to find with this application is that it only allows us to store a maximum of 500 files. Also, the maximum file size cannot exceed 4 GB. These two limitations make the platform ideal for storing our movies or series in the cloud and enjoying them without having to download them to your computer. Of course, the free version allows us to enjoy a maximum of 720p.
All these limitations disappear if we contract the 2 TB version, a version that has a price of 3.99 euros per month, practically half price than that offered by other platforms such as Google Drive, Dropbox and others. This platform belongs to Baidu, the Google of China, so it should not stop working overnight and lose all the files that we have stored inside it.
If you want to try this platform, you can register on its website and download the application for Windows, an application that you can also download from the Microsoft Store through the following link. The application works just like OneDrive or Google Drive, creating a unit on our hard drive that we can access to download all the content that we want to have on our hard drive and release the files that we only want to store in the cloud and that don’t take up space on our PC.
