TeraBox

Storing your files on the cloud is the norm these days, and it makes for a reliable way to have everything of importance to you safe and sound. Cloud solutions are quite welcoming to new users, so they're easy to get started with. The only thing that remains is picking the right one for you.

A newer entry into this field comes in the form of TeraBox, which is a cloud service that offers users some useful functionalities, along with a free 10GB via the Free plan, which only requires you to register on their website.

Fundamentally, there isn't anything particularly different here than on other cloud platforms: create an account, log into the app, and start inputting the files and folders you wish to have on the cloud. The free 10GB of storage may be enough for some people — though, in this day and age, it's not that big of a quota.

The developer claims to offer users a free 1TB of storage in the Free tier, but that's not really the case. 10GB were all we got upon registering an account, so there might be a disconnect in the marketing of this one.

Irrespective of that, the app works well, and users can upload anything they wish on the cloud, and freely access it from their mobile device, as well as from the web. The app comes with a floating window, which can inform users of their transfer speeds, as well as acting as a shortcut to the app. It's not that intrusive, but users who prefer to do away with it can hide it anytime.

Users can set up automatic folder backup, which makes the program automatically upload any new items when it detects a change in the source folder.  As such, if you have a folder you frequently update with new files, this is the place to go if you want everything preserved on the cloud.

Safe Space is also an interesting one. Have a few files and folders of particular importance? Lock them all with a password, and keep them away from prying eyes. Should your account be compromised, the perpetrator will have to find out an additional password to access that data.

What's more, users can also share their files with their contacts by email, right through the app. This is done through the Share menu, whereby users can email their cloud files to anyone, along with a message.

TeraBox offers an enticing package overall: those who are looking for cloud storage can benefit from the provided facilities, of which Safe Space is especially noteworthy.
