IceDrive to TeraBox: Trade a 10 GB Free Tier for 1 TB

Move IceDrive files to TeraBox's 1 TB free tier for more headroom. Browser download or a cloud-to-cloud transfer with CloudsLinker over IceDrive's WebDAV.

Introduction

TeraBox advertises 1 TB free against IceDrive's 10 GB free allowance, so the move is mainly about capacity headroom for a personal library that outgrew IceDrive's entry tier. IceDrive is a tidy, design-forward storage service with a clean app and optional client-side encryption, but its free quota is modest and its cheapest paid tiers are sized for light use. If you are storing bulky, non-sensitive files and just need room, TeraBox's free tier is far larger. The connection details differ on both ends: IceDrive uses a WebDAV Access Key rather than your login password, and TeraBox uses a browser session cookie because it has no OAuth API. This guide covers a browser download and a cloud-to-cloud transfer with CloudsLinker.

Preparing to Move IceDrive to TeraBox

On the IceDrive side

Create a WebDAV Access Key: log in → click your avatar → 2FA & Access → create an Access Key. This is what tools authenticate with, not your password.
Handle encrypted-folder files separately: client-side encrypted content is readable only inside IceDrive's apps — move those via the browser, not a server-side job.
Note files over 4 GB for the TeraBox free cap.

On the TeraBox side

Create a TeraBox account at terabox.com.
Create a target folder such as /IceDrive-Import/.

Method 1: Browser Download from IceDrive, Upload to TeraBox

Step 1: Download from IceDrive

Open icedrive.net and sign in. Select files or folders and click Download. For encrypted-space files, download through IceDrive's app so they are decrypted on your device first.

Download files from the IceDrive web interface

Step 2: Upload to TeraBox

Open terabox.com, open your /IceDrive-Import/ folder, and drag the files in. Set aside anything over 4 GB on a free account.

Method 2: Cloud-to-Cloud Transfer with CloudsLinker

Move the Library Server-Side over WebDAV

CloudsLinker connects IceDrive over WebDAV using its Access Key and TeraBox by session cookie, moving non-encrypted files between them without a local download.

Step 1: Connect IceDrive (WebDAV)

In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud → IceDrive. Enter the WebDAV URL https://webdav.icedrive.io/, your IceDrive username, and the WebDAV Access Key as the password (not your login password). Confirm to connect.

Step 2: Connect TeraBox (Browser Cookie)

TeraBox has no OAuth, so use the session cookie:

Install EditThisCookie (V3) in Chrome.
Open www.terabox.com in the same browser, signed in.
Click EditThisCookie → Export and paste the cookie JSON into CloudsLinker.

Or copy the Cookie header (ndus=...; ndut_fmt=...) from DevTools (F12) → Network.

Connect TeraBox to CloudsLinker with the browser session cookie

Step 3: Configure the Transfer

In the Transfer section, set IceDrive as the source and TeraBox as the destination with your /IceDrive-Import/ folder. Apply a 4 GB size filter for free TeraBox. Copy keeps IceDrive intact.

Step 4: Start and Monitor

Start the task and track it in the Task List. If the TeraBox cookie expires, the task pauses for a fresh one. Verify in TeraBox before clearing IceDrive.

Practical Tips for IceDrive to TeraBox

Use the WebDAV Access Key, not your password: IceDrive's WebDAV requires a dedicated key created under 2FA & Access.
Move encrypted-space files via the app: client-side encrypted content is only readable inside IceDrive — a server-side WebDAV transfer cannot decrypt it.
Filter files over 4 GB: the free TeraBox per-file cap is the main constraint.
Revoke the Access Key after the move: delete it from 2FA & Access once done.
Refresh the TeraBox cookie before long jobs: re-login right before exporting it.
Verify before deleting: open a sample in TeraBox before clearing IceDrive's 10 GB.

Frequently Asked Questions

TeraBox uses a folder tree. The IceDrive hierarchy is recreated under your target folder.

Yes. CloudsLinker preserves the IceDrive hierarchy over WebDAV; the browser method preserves it if you extract any ZIP intact.

Only by decrypting them first inside IceDrive's app, then uploading via the browser. A server-side WebDAV transfer cannot read client-side encrypted content. And remember TeraBox is not encrypted, so reconsider whether those files belong there.

Over WebDAV at https://webdav.icedrive.io/, using your username and a WebDAV Access Key as the password. TeraBox connects by browser session cookie.

The transfer pauses and pending files are flagged. Free space or upgrade, then resume — CloudsLinker skips files that already landed.

Yes. CloudsLinker filters by folder, type, size and date over the WebDAV connection.

Data travels over TLS. IceDrive WebDAV uses a scoped Access Key you can revoke; TeraBox stores files server-side under its own keys. Log out and back in to invalidate the TeraBox cookie afterward.

Conclusion

For a small set of files, the browser download from IceDrive and upload to TeraBox is the quickest route. For a larger library, CloudsLinker connects IceDrive over WebDAV using its Access Key and TeraBox by session cookie, moving data server-side. Note that IceDrive's encrypted-folder contents are decrypted only inside IceDrive's own apps, so move those through the browser rather than a server-side job. Watch the 4 GB free per-file cap on TeraBox, and verify the copy before clearing IceDrive.
