FAQs about TeraBox Photo Upload

Q: How many photos can I upload to TeraBox?

In total, 1 TB of storage space can hold about 250,000 photos taken by a phone camera.

In the app, the largest file size of upload is 4 GB for the free plan and 20 GB for the premium plan. That is to say, you can upload photos to TeraBox in a zip file of 4 or 20 GB.

Meanwhile, you can upload 500 photos in one go, which also applies to other types of files. For Premium users, there is no limit on the number of files saved at a time.

On the website, however, you can only upload a file as large as 4 GB. The largest number of photos you can upload at a time is 300. This is due to the limitations of browsers and is not related to your subscription status.

Q: Can I delete my photos after uploading them to TeraBox?

Yes, it is easy to delete photos from the cloud. After they are deleted, you can still find them in the Recycling Bin and recover them within 10 days (or 30 days for paid users).

After uploading the photos, you can feel free to delete them from your local storage. TeraBox will keep them safe in the cloud and does not delete them unless you choose to. The only thing you should keep in mind to prevent data loss is the right account and password for login.

Q: What will happen to my photos if I uninstall TeraBox?

If you only uninstall TeraBox, your photos along with your account will be preserved. You will be able to access those photos when you log in to TeraBox on other devices or re-install TeraBox. On the other hand, if you delete your account, all your data and files will be erased along with the account.

Q: What is remote upload? Can I use it to upload photos?

Remote upload is different from upload; it is a feature that allows you to save files directly from the Internet with a link. You can upload a file to TeraBox with an HTTP, HTTPS, magnet, or BitTorrent link. It cannot be used to upload photos to TeraBox from your phone or computer.
