How to download a subfolder from a TeraBox link
That shared folder holds a 4K video inside a 7z archive, and only one subfolder matters.
Each subfolder loads separately, and the 4K video inside the 7z archive is only visible once you reach the last level.

Short answer. Paste your TeraBox link, and the share opens in 1.5 s without signing in. Nested folders are walked one level at a time, so you can drill down to the subfolder and grab the file directly, whether it is a 4K video or a 7z archive. The CDN supports range requests, so downloads can resume. In testing, 98.3% of links opened.
What you need first
- The share link must be public and unlocked. A password-protected share cannot be opened by anyone without the password.
- The owner must not have deleted the file. Deleted shares return a 410 and are gone for good.
- You need the complete share link. The code sits after /s/ or in the surl parameter, and a leading 1 is often not part of the code.
Step by step
Open TeraSaver and paste your link
Go to the TeraSaver page on your device. Paste the full share link into the input field. No sign-in is ever required because public share metadata is readable without a TeraBox account. Check that the link contains a code after /s/ or in surl.
Wait for the file list to load
The share's file list appears after a short wait. In our test run, the median time to file list was 1.5 s. The list shows the top-level contents of the share, including any folders. If the share is empty or deleted, you will see an error instead.
Open the subfolder you need
Shares can contain nested folders, and TeraSaver walks them one level at a time. Tap the folder name to see its contents. Keep opening folders until you reach the file you want. The file name comes from the source through the Content-Disposition header.
Start the download for the file
Select the file inside the subfolder and choose download. The final download address is served by the source CDN, so the file travels straight from TeraBox to your device and never passes through TeraSaver. For large files like 4k videos or 7z archives, the same process applies.
Let the download finish on your device
Your connection speed decides how long it takes. In our tests, a 677 MB file took 11 m 53 s at a sustained 7.6 MB/s. The CDN answers range requests, so you can resume an interrupted download with a download manager that supports it.

Why this works
TeraSaver works because TeraBox public shares expose their file metadata without a login. TeraSaver reads that metadata, and when a share contains nested folders it walks them one level at a time, so you can reach files buried in subfolders. The share link itself carries the code either as a path segment after /s/ or as a surl parameter, and TeraSaver accepts all eight TeraBox hostnames. Once you choose a file, TeraSaver returns the source CDN address. The bytes then travel straight from TeraBox to your device, never passing through TeraSaver. That CDN supports range requests, so a player can seek and a download manager can resume. The filename arrives in the Content-Disposition header. In a test of 139 links, 98.3% opened, and a 677 MB file downloaded in 11 m 53 s at 7.6 MB/s.
How these figures are produced: our testing method.
When it does not work
This link is password protected.
The share is locked with a password set by its owner (error code PASSWORD_REQUIRED). The page cannot bypass it.
Ask the owner for the password. Nothing, including this page, can open the link without it.
This file has been deleted at the source.
The owner removed the file, so the share no longer points to anything (error code SHARE_DELETED).
The file cannot be recovered. Ask the owner to share it again.
Too many requests. Please try again shortly.
The page hit a temporary rate limit (error code RATE_LIMITED).
Wait a short while and try again. Anonymous use allows 3 share links per day, and a free account allows 10 per day.
The source took too long to respond.
The source did not answer in time (error code UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT). This is not related to the speed of your connection.
Try the link again after a short wait. If it keeps happening, the source share is likely overloaded or unavailable.
Limits worth knowing
- Nested folders are walked one level at a time. To reach a file in a subfolder, you have to move through each level in the page; there is no expand-all view. If you want the whole tree in one pass, a desktop tool that can traverse the share is the better answer.
- Anonymous use is limited to 3 share links per day, and a free account to 10 per day. Once you hit that limit, the page will refuse further links until the limit resets.
- A password-protected or deleted share cannot be opened at all. The page does not bypass either condition, and no other tool can either; the only fix is to get a working link from the owner.
Safety, privacy and rights
We only see the share metadata that is already public; no TeraBox password is ever entered because public shares do not require login. The file itself never passes through TeraSaver, so we do not store any copy of the content. We have no access to the file's content, only its metadata and name. A password-protected share cannot be opened by anyone without the password, and a deleted share cannot be recovered. You are responsible for what you choose to download, and the source CDN controls the actual transfer.
Questions people ask
how do i see files inside a subfolder?
Keep tapping through the share one level at a time, because nested folders are walked that way. The median time to the file list was 1.5 s and no sign-in is required. If a folder looks empty, copy the whole code again, since a leading 1 is often not part of the share code.
can i download a 4k video from a subfolder?
If the share contains a 4k video, it downloads like any other file. The final address is served by the source CDN, so the video goes straight to your device. Range requests are supported, which helps seeking and resuming. Sustained throughput measured 7.6 MB/s in testing.
how long to download a 677 mb file from a folder?
In testing, a 677 MB download had a median time of 11 m 53 s across 9 runs. Sustained throughput for the same set was 7.6 MB/s. Your actual time will depend on your connection and how the source responds, but those are the measured figures.
do subfolders have their own password?
The share carries a single password set by its owner, so a lock on the share locks every subfolder inside it. You would see 'This link is password protected.' before reaching the file list, and nobody can open it without that password. No login is ever asked from TeraSaver.
will a 7z file inside a folder keep its name?
The file name comes from the source through the Content-Disposition header, so the 7z archive keeps whatever name the uploader set. If the name looks off, recheck the share code instead of blaming the tool: a leading 1 is often not part of the code.
