SharePoint to TeraBox: Pull Document Library Files Into Personal Free Storage

Export SharePoint document library files to TeraBox's 1 TB free tier — useful for offboarding or personal archives. Browser download or CloudsLinker.

Introduction

TeraBox offers 1 TB of free personal storage with no Microsoft 365 license attached, which is why people reach for it when they need a copy of SharePoint files outside the work tenant — an offboarding archive, a personal copy of materials you authored, or a place to keep documents after a project closes. SharePoint is a team content platform tied to per-seat Microsoft 365 licensing; once your access ends, so does your reach to those files. Pulling a permitted copy into a personal TeraBox account keeps it available without a license. Be clear on scope: only move files you are authorized to take, and remember TeraBox is not a compliance-grade store. SharePoint connects through Microsoft OAuth with a site path; TeraBox connects by browser cookie. This guide covers a browser download and a cloud-to-cloud transfer with CloudsLinker.

About SharePoint

SharePoint Online is Microsoft's team content platform, organizing files into site collections and document libraries with permissions tied to Microsoft 365 groups.

Structure: site collections → document libraries → folders.
Versioning: built-in version history and metadata columns.
Permissions: inherited from Microsoft 365 groups.
Licensing: per-user Microsoft 365 seats.
Access: Microsoft OAuth with a site path.

About TeraBox

TeraBox is a personal consumer file locker from Flextech Inc. with a 1 TB advertised free tier and no license requirement.

Free quota: 1 TB advertised; ~80 GB practical (20-file cap).
Per-file cap: 4 GB free / 20 GB Premium.
Structure: plain folder tree; no versioning or metadata columns.
License: none required.
Access: browser cookie (ndus, ndut_fmt); no OAuth.

Comparison: SharePoint vs TeraBox

SharePoint is a managed, licensed team platform with governance features; TeraBox is an unmanaged personal locker. The move strips away the collaboration layer and keeps only the files — appropriate for a personal copy, not a team workflow.

Preparing to Move SharePoint to TeraBox

On the SharePoint side

Confirm you are authorized: only move files you have the right to take off the tenant. Check with an admin if unsure.
Identify the site path and library: for example, /sites/marketing and a specific document library.
Accept the loss of versioning: only current file versions transfer; history and metadata columns do not.

On the TeraBox side

Create a TeraBox account at terabox.com.
Create a target folder such as /SharePoint-Archive/.
Flag files over 4 GB for the free per-file cap.

Method 1: Browser Download from SharePoint, Upload to TeraBox

Step 1: Download from the Document Library

Open the SharePoint site in your browser, go to the document library, select files or folders, and click Download. SharePoint packages multiple items as a ZIP. For very large libraries, download by subfolder to stay under per-request limits.

Step 2: Upload to TeraBox

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

Method 2: Cloud-to-Cloud Transfer with CloudsLinker

Move a Permitted Copy Server-Side

CloudsLinker connects SharePoint through Microsoft OAuth and TeraBox by session cookie. It can only read what your account is permitted to read, so authorization on the SharePoint side still applies.

Step 1: Connect SharePoint

In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud → SharePoint. Enter the site path (for example, /sites/marketing) and complete the Microsoft OAuth sign-in with an account that has access. After authorization, select the target document library.

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 the connected SharePoint library as the source and TeraBox as the destination with your /SharePoint-Archive/ folder. Apply a 4 GB size filter for free TeraBox and skip files like .tmp. Copy keeps SharePoint untouched.

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 the copy in TeraBox before relying on it.

Practical Tips for SharePoint to TeraBox

Confirm authorization first: moving company content to a personal account can violate policy. Only take what you are permitted to.
Expect version history to be lost: only the current file version transfers. Keep the SharePoint site if history matters for compliance.
Mind tenant restrictions: some Microsoft 365 tenants block third-party app consent — you may need admin approval to connect CloudsLinker.
Filter files over 4 GB: the free TeraBox per-file cap is the main constraint.
Refresh the TeraBox cookie before long jobs: re-login right before exporting it.
Do not treat TeraBox as compliance storage: it lacks SharePoint's governance, retention, and audit features.

Frequently Asked Questions

TeraBox uses a plain folder tree. SharePoint's site collections and document libraries collapse into ordinary folders under your target directory.

No. Only the current version of each file moves. SharePoint version history, metadata columns and approval workflows have no TeraBox equivalent.

On free TeraBox they fail. Upgrade to Premium (20 GB cap) or split them. CloudsLinker's size filter avoids queuing oversized files.

Through Microsoft OAuth, using a site path and your account's permissions. It can only read what you can read. TeraBox connects by browser cookie.

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

Yes. CloudsLinker lets you browse into a specific folder within the library and filter by type, size and date.

Data travels over TLS. SharePoint uses Microsoft OAuth, revocable from the admin center or your connected apps. TeraBox stores files server-side under its own keys; log out and back in to invalidate the cookie afterward.

Conclusion

For a handful of documents, downloading from the SharePoint library and uploading to TeraBox in the browser is simplest. For a larger permitted set, CloudsLinker connects SharePoint through Microsoft OAuth — site path plus document library — and TeraBox by session cookie, moving data server-side. SharePoint version history and metadata columns do not carry over; only current files do. Confirm you have the right to move the content, watch the 4 GB free per-file cap, and verify the copy in TeraBox before relying on it.
