Save a TeraBox share link to Google Drive without signing in
You have a TeraBox share link and need the file in Google Drive without installing another app.
Installing the TeraBox app just to move one file is a lot of steps, and then you still have to upload the download to Google Drive.
Tested 12 January 2027 165 share links By TeraSaver With Love
Short answer. You can't send a TeraBox share straight to Google Drive with one click. TeraSaver opens the share link without the app or sign-in, lists the files, and downloads them to your device. From there you upload to Google Drive. In our test of 165 links, 95.1% opened.
What you need first
- The TeraBox share link uses one of the eight supported domains: terabox.com, terabox.app, 1024terabox.com, teraboxshare.com, teraboxlink.com, terasharefile.com, terafileshare.com or terasharelink.com.
- The share is not password-protected and the file has not been deleted at the source.
- You have not already used the anonymous daily limit of 3 opens.
Step by step
Copy your TeraBox share link
Make sure the link uses one of the eight supported domains, such as terabox.com or terasharelink.com. The share code is either the path segment after /s/ or the surl query parameter. Some codes start with an extra 1 that is not part of the code.
Paste the link into TeraSaver
Open this page and put the full share link into the input field. Wait for the file list to appear; the median time to the list is 2.1 s. No TeraBox login is needed because public share metadata is readable without signing in.
Choose the file or folder
The list shows the files inside the share. If you see a folder, it can contain nested folders which are walked one level at a time. Select the file you want to end up in Google Drive.
Get the direct download address
The tool returns a final download address served by the source CDN. This address supports range requests, so it can resume interrupted downloads. The file name comes from the Content-Disposition header.
Save the file to Google Drive
Use the direct address with your preferred method for adding a file from a URL to Google Drive. The file travels straight from the CDN to the destination and does not pass through TeraSaver.

Why this works
TeraSaver only handles the handshake. For a public share, TeraBox serves file metadata without sign-in, so the tool can read the file list without your credentials. Once you pick a file, the share resolves to a final download address on TeraBox's own CDN. From that point the bytes travel straight from TeraBox to your device and never pass through TeraSaver. The CDN even answers range requests, which is why playback can seek and a download manager can resume. The source names the file through the Content-Disposition header. So the tool is a resolver, not a relay. That separation is the whole reason you can browse and download without installing the app or logging in.
How these figures are produced: our testing method.
When it does not work
This link is password protected.
The owner set a password on the share. Error code PASSWORD_REQUIRED.
There is no way around it. Ask the owner for the password; without it, no tool can open the link.
This file has been deleted at the source.
The owner removed the file. Error code SHARE_DELETED.
The share is gone and cannot be recovered by any tool. There is nothing to do here.
Too many requests. Please try again shortly.
The source answered with RATE_LIMITED (HTTP 429), meaning too many requests hit it at once.
Wait a short while and try the link again. The limit clears on its own.
The source took too long to respond.
The source did not answer within the time limit. Error code UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT.
Try again. This is unrelated to your own connection speed.
Limits worth knowing
- Anonymous use is limited to 3 share links per day; a free account raises that to 10. If you move many links at once, another tool with higher limits is the better answer.
- Nested folders are walked one level at a time, so a deep folder tree takes many steps. The native TeraBox app can handle a whole folder tree at once and is the better choice for large folders.
- The page waits 27 seconds for the source to answer. On a flaky connection, a download manager that retries and resumes may cope better than this page.
Safety, privacy and rights
TeraSaver sees the shared file metadata and the file name that the source sends; it never sees your TeraBox credentials because none are entered. The bytes themselves bypass the tool, so nothing of the file content lands on our servers. We keep logs needed to stop abuse, and nothing else. Responsibility sits with the share owner: content that was deleted cannot be recovered, and a lock is a lock. A password-protected share cannot be opened by anyone without the password.
Questions people ask
Does TeraSaver copy files directly to Google Drive?
No. TeraSaver downloads the file to your device from the source CDN; it never passes through TeraSaver. There is no Google Drive integration, so after the download completes you upload the file to Google Drive yourself using the standard Google Drive website or app.
Do I need to sign in to Google to use TeraSaver?
No. TeraSaver does not ask for a Google account or any other sign-in. File metadata for a public share is readable without signing in, and no TeraBox credentials are ever entered. The download goes straight from TeraBox to your device, unrelated to Google.
Will a large file take long to get into Google Drive?
Download speed from TeraSaver was 20.0 MB/s in our tests, so a 336 MB file took 2 m 14 s. After that, the upload to Google Drive depends on your upload speed and Google's servers. TeraSaver does not speed up the upload part; it only handles the download from TeraBox.
Can I save a whole folder to Google Drive at once?
TeraSaver walks nested folders one level at a time, so you see files inside subfolders as you go. It does not bundle them into a single archive, so you would download each file individually and then upload each to Google Drive. There is no one-click folder transfer.
Are there download limits when saving to Google Drive?
TeraSaver allows 3 links per day anonymously and 10 per day with a free account. These limits apply to the TeraSaver service itself, not to Google Drive. Once the file is on your device, Google Drive's own storage limits apply separately.
