Can I download a TeraBox file bigger than 1 GB here?
You have a TeraBox share link to a file over 1 GB, and you're staring at it from a phone or desktop without the app.
The usual path asks you to install an app or sign in, and a file over 1 GB is a long time to wait before you know it completed.
Tested 20 November 2026 82 share links By TeraSaver With Love
Short answer. TeraSaver opens TeraBox share links directly in your browser and lets you download files over 1 GB without installing the app or signing in. In testing on 20 November 2026, 92.2% of 82 links opened, and a 1.1 GB file downloaded in 6 m 53 s at 21.6 MB/s. The file comes straight from TeraBox's CDN to your device.
What you need first
- The share is not password-protected by its owner.
- The file has not been deleted at the source.
- You have daily link quota left: 3 anonymous, 10 with a free account.
- You are using a supported browser, such as Chrome 139 or Safari 18.4.
Step by step
Open TeraSaver in browser
Open the TeraSaver site in a browser. Tests ran on Chrome 139 and Safari 18.4 on Android, iOS and desktop. The tool accepts links from all 8 supported TeraBox domains, so you don't need to worry about which hostname was used.
Paste the share link
Copy the full TeraBox URL and paste it into the input box. The code appears as a path segment after /s/ or as a surl query parameter. A leading 1 in the code may not be part of it, so paste the exact link you were given.
Wait for the file list
TeraSaver reads file metadata without signing in, so no TeraBox credentials are ever entered. The file list appears in a median of 3.1 s over mixed 4G and fibre. Nested folders are walked one level at a time.
Open folders to reach the file
If the share contains folders, click through them one level at a time. The file name comes from the source through the Content-Disposition header, so it should match the original. Large files such as 4K videos and 7z archives are listed normally.
Choose the file and start download
Select the file and tap download. In our test across 82 links, 92.2% opened. The final address comes from the source CDN, so the file never passes through TeraSaver. Range requests let a download manager resume. A 1.1 GB file took 6 m 53 s at 21.6 MB/s.
Handle errors if they appear
A 403 means the share refuses access, not a typo. A 429 is a rate limit that clears on its own. A 504 means the source didn't answer in time. A password-protected share returns 401 and cannot be opened without the password. A deleted file shows 410.

Why this works
Public share metadata on TeraBox is readable without signing in. TeraSaver fetches that metadata, finds the direct CDN address for each file, and hands it to your browser. The final download address is served by the source CDN, so the file goes straight from TeraBox to your device and never passes through the tool. That is why a 1.1 GB archive or a 4K video can download like any normal file, without the app. The CDN address also answers range requests, so your video player can seek and a download manager can resume. The filename is taken from the source's Content-Disposition header, so you get the original name. If the share is public, no login is involved. The only limits are at the source: a 403, 401, 410, 429 or 504 tells you the share itself refuses access, is password locked, deleted, rate limited, or slow.
How these figures are produced: our testing method.
When it does not work
This link is password protected.
The share owner set a password on the share (PASSWORD_REQUIRED).
Nothing can open the share without that password. Ask the owner for the password; no tool can bypass it.
This file has been deleted at the source.
The owner removed the file or folder behind the share (SHARE_DELETED).
The share is gone and cannot be recovered by any tool. Ask the owner to re-share the file if they still have it.
Too many requests. Please try again shortly.
The source is rate-limiting requests (RATE_LIMITED).
Wait a short while and retry. The limit clears on its own; no other action is needed.
The source took too long to respond.
The source did not answer within the timeout limit (UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT).
Wait and try again. A 504 is unrelated to your connection speed; it means the source was slow to respond.
Limits worth knowing
- The page allows 3 anonymous link opens per day; signing in with a free account raises that to 10 daily links.
- Download speed depends on the source CDN and your connection. In testing, a 1.1 GB file took 6 m 53 s at 21.6 MB/s over mixed 4G and fibre; a slower connection will take longer.
- Not every share opens. In the test run, 92.2% of 82 links opened; the rest hit errors such as password protection, deletion, rate limiting or upstream timeouts. Only 429 and 504 errors can be fixed by waiting.
- For a share locked with a password, the only working path is the password from the owner. No download tool or website can bypass that lock; the better answer is to get the password directly.
Safety, privacy and rights
TeraSaver only reads public metadata. It never receives TeraBox credentials, and because the file comes from the source CDN, the file content never passes through us, so we do not store it. We do see the share code and the file names and sizes the source exposes. A password-protected share cannot be opened by anyone without the password, no tool can change that. If the owner deletes the file, the share stops working permanently. You are responsible for the link you paste and for what you download. No sign-in is ever asked, and we keep nothing beyond your daily link limit.
Questions people ask
Can a 4K video play while it's still downloading?
Yes, a 4K video can start playing before the download finishes. The final CDN address answers range requests, so a video player can fetch the parts it needs. In our test, the file list appeared in 3.1 s and a 1.1 GB file took 6 m 53 s, but playback does not have to wait for the whole file.
Will a 7z archive larger than 1GB download as one file?
Yes, a 7z archive larger than 1GB downloads as a single file. TeraSaver passes the download straight from the source, so the archive is not split or altered. The file name comes from the source through the Content-Disposition header, so you receive the original archive name and a complete file.
Do large files keep their original names after download?
Yes, large files keep their original names. The file name comes from the source through the Content-Disposition header, so the downloaded file matches exactly what the share owner uploaded. This applies to all files, including 4K videos and 7z archives, regardless of size.
How long does a 1.1 GB file take to download?
In our tests, a 1.1 GB file downloaded in a median time of 6 m 53 s, with a sustained throughput of 21.6 MB/s. The tests used mixed 4G and fibre connections, so your actual time will depend on your own internet speed and the source's current load.
Does TeraSaver compress files during download?
No, TeraSaver does not compress files. The final download address is served by the source CDN, so the file travels straight from TeraBox to your device without any modification. What you download is exactly the file that was shared, at the same size.
How do I extract a 7z archive from TeraBox?
Use your usual archive utility to extract it. TeraSaver delivers the file with its original name from the Content-Disposition header, so the archive is complete and unmodified. The download works the same as any other file, regardless of size.
What devices was the large file download tested on?
The large file test covered Android, iOS and desktop devices, using Chrome 139 and Safari 18.4 browsers. The connection was mixed 4G and fibre. Across 11 runs, the median download time for a 1.1 GB file was 6 m 53 s and the mean throughput was 21.6 MB/s.
