Download the full folder straight from the share link
This device needs the whole folder from the TeraBox link that just arrived.
The folder mixes 4K videos and 7z archives, and each file has to be fetched separately unless the app gets installed first.
Tested 13 November 2026 100 share links By TeraSaver With Love
Short answer. TeraSaver opens the share link and lists the whole folder in 3.2 s, then downloads every file in it directly. No sign-in is ever required; the file travels straight from the source CDN to the device. In testing, 95.8% of links opened, and a 1.4 GB folder finished in 8 m 44 s at 22.0 MB/s.
What you need first
- You have the full share URL from the owner, including the part after /s/ or the surl query parameter.
- The share is public or you know its password. A password-protected share cannot be opened without that password.
- The owner has not deleted the file. A deleted share returns 410 and cannot be recovered by any tool.
Step by step
Go to TeraSaver
Open TeraSaver in a browser on Android, iOS or desktop. No sign-in is needed and no TeraBox credentials are entered. The tool reads file metadata for a public share directly from the source, so the link is all you need to start.
Paste the share link
Copy the full link from TeraBox. The code travels either as a path segment after /s/ or as a surl query parameter, and the same share can appear under any of eight hostnames. Paste the whole link into the input field and submit it.
Wait for the file list
TeraSaver contacts the source and shows the contents of the share. In our test of 100 links the median time to the file list was 3.2 seconds. If the share is locked, the page shows "This link is password protected." and nothing can open it without the password.
Open the target folder
The list shows the files and folders inside the share. Tap the folder name to enter it. Nested folders exist, so you may need to move one level at a time until you reach the files you want to download.
Start the folder download
Choose to download the files from the current folder. The final download address comes from the source CDN, so the file travels straight from TeraBox to your device and never passes through TeraSaver. Range requests are supported, which helps a download manager resume.
Repeat for nested folders
TeraSaver walks nested folders one level at a time, so a multi-level folder may need more than one pass. Reopen the next folder from the list and start its download the same way. A 429 rate limit clears on its own after a short wait.

Why this works
A TeraBox share link is just a code that points to a public folder. That folder's metadata is served without a login, so TeraSaver can read the file list the same way the app would. Once you pick a file, the source CDN hands back a direct download address. The file then travels from TeraBox to your device without passing through TeraSaver. Because that address answers range requests, a video player can seek and a download manager can resume an interrupted transfer. The same share can appear under eight hostnames, and the code may sit in the path or as a surl parameter. Sometimes a leading 1 is not part of the code, so the tool handles that too. That's why a public share opens in a browser without an account.
How these figures are produced: our testing method.
When it does not work
This link is password protected.
The share owner set a password (error PASSWORD_REQUIRED). Nothing can open it without that password.
Ask the owner for the password. No tool can bypass a locked share.
This file has been deleted at the source.
The owner deleted the file (error SHARE_DELETED). The share is gone and cannot be recovered.
Ask the owner to re-share the file. Nothing on this page can bring it back.
Too many requests. Please try again shortly.
The source rate-limited the request (error RATE_LIMITED). The limit clears on its own after a short wait.
Wait a short while and retry.
The source took too long to respond.
The source timed out (error UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT). This is unrelated to the speed of your own connection.
Wait and try again. It clears on its own; nothing is wrong with your network.
A 403 error appears when the page tries to open the share.
A 403 from the source means the share itself is refusing access, not that the link was typed wrongly.
Check the share link for a leading 1 that is sometimes written before the code; that leading 1 is not part of the code itself. If the share is genuinely private, the owner has to change the share settings.
Limits worth knowing
- This page cannot open a share that is locked with a password. If the owner set a password, nothing can open it without that password.
- Files deleted by the owner stop working and cannot be recovered by any tool.
- Anonymous visitors can open 3 share links per day; with a free account the limit is 10 per day.
- Shares can contain nested folders, which are walked one level at a time. For a large folder on a desktop device, a download manager is the better answer because the CDN answers range requests, which lets a download manager resume interrupted downloads.
Safety, privacy and rights
TeraSaver only reads the metadata of a public share: the file names and sizes. It never sees your TeraBox credentials, and you never enter them. The download itself is a direct connection between the source CDN and your device, so the file content does not pass through our servers. We keep no copy of the file. A share locked by its owner with a password cannot be opened by anyone without that password, and we do not attempt to bypass it. If a share returns a 403 or 410, that means the owner restricted or deleted it; no tool can recover that. Responsibility for the share content rests with whoever created the link.
Questions people ask
Are folder downloads proxied through TeraSaver?
No. The final download address is served by the source CDN, so files travel straight from TeraBox to your device and never pass through TeraSaver. TeraSaver only reads the folder's file list and hands you the direct download link, after which the download is entirely between you and the CDN.
How long does a 1.4 GB file inside a folder take to download?
In a test on mixed 4G and fibre, a 1.4 GB download took 8 m 44 s as a median over 7 runs. That figure reflects the source CDN at the time; your actual time depends on your connection speed and how busy the CDN is when you pull the file.
How fast does the folder file list appear?
The file list for a share appears in a median of 3.2 s across 7 runs on Android, iOS and desktop. That is the time until the folder contents are visible, so you can quickly see what is inside before choosing what to download.
What is the daily link limit for opening TeraBox folders?
Without an account you can open 3 share links per day, and with a free account that rises to 10. The limit counts share links opened, not the number of files inside a folder, so you can download many files from a single opened folder.
Can I download a 4K video from a folder without the app?
Yes. A public folder's metadata is readable without signing in, and 4K videos are listed like any other file. The final CDN address also answers range requests, so a player can seek while the 4K video downloads straight to your device.
How do I download a subfolder inside a TeraBox folder?
You open the parent folder as usual, then click into the subfolder to see its files. TeraSaver walks nested folders one level at a time, so a deeply nested structure requires you to step through each level before you reach the files you want.
