Yandex Disk to TeraBox: Move From a 10 GB Free Tier to 1 TB
Transfer Yandex Disk files to TeraBox for 1 TB free storage and broad app support. Browser download or cloud-to-cloud transfer through CloudsLinker.
Introduction
TeraBox advertises 1 TB of free storage against Yandex Disk's 10 GB baseline, which is the simplest reason a Yandex user looks to move: a hundredfold jump in headline capacity at no cost. Some users also want their files off Russian-jurisdiction infrastructure, but for many the migration is purely about space and the convenience of TeraBox's apps on Android, Windows, and iOS. Both are consumer cloud services with a plain folder model, so the move is mechanically simple — the only friction is TeraBox's 4 GB free per-file cap. This guide covers two paths: a browser download and upload, and a cloud-to-cloud transfer through CloudsLinker that connects Yandex Disk over OAuth and TeraBox through its session cookie.
Yandex Disk is the cloud storage service of Yandex, Russia's largest internet company. It offers a free 10 GB tier with paid upgrades, sync clients, and mobile apps.
- Free quota: 10 GB baseline.
- Hosting jurisdiction: data stored under Russian law.
- Access: web, Windows/Mac sync client, mobile apps.
- Sharing: public links; password protection on paid plans.
- Third-party access: OAuth for transfer tools.
TeraBox is a consumer cloud storage service operated by Flextech Inc., the international branch of Baidu Netdisk. It advertises a 1 TB free tier with native apps across platforms.
- Free tier: 1024 GB advertised; ~80 GB practical given the 20 large-file cap.
- Per-file cap: 4 GB free; 20 GB on Premium.
- Download throttle: roughly 200–800 KB/s on free.
- Connection: no public OAuth — third-party tools use the browser session cookie (
ndus,ndut_fmt). - Cross-platform apps: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, web.
Both are consumer cloud services with a plain folder model. The headline differences are free capacity, jurisdiction, and the per-file cap that TeraBox imposes on its free tier.
| Feature | Yandex Disk | TeraBox |
|---|---|---|
| Free quota | 10 GB | 1 TB advertised; ~80 GB practical |
| Hosting jurisdiction | Russia | International (Flextech) |
| Per-file cap | No small cap; quota-bound | 4 GB free / 20 GB Premium |
| Third-party access | OAuth | Browser session cookie |
| Apps | Web, desktop, mobile | Web, desktop, mobile |
On the Yandex Disk side
- Review the total volume in Yandex Disk settings to size the move.
- Identify files over 4 GB for the free TeraBox cap.
- Note account region: yandex.com and yandex.ru accounts differ in sign-in URLs and interface language.
- List public share links — they stop working once files are removed.
On the TeraBox side
- Create a TeraBox account at terabox.com.
- Create a migration folder such as
/Yandex-Migration/to keep the import separate. - Pick a tier: free if all files are under 4 GB, Premium otherwise.
Method 1: Browser Download from Yandex Disk and Upload to TeraBox
Step 1: Download from Yandex Disk
Open disk.yandex.com and sign in. Select the files or folders you want to move and click Download. Multiple selections package as a ZIP. Yandex enforces per-request download size limits, so work folder by folder for large libraries.
Step 2: Extract and Filter Oversized Files
Unzip the archive. Sort by size and set aside anything over 4 GB if you are on a free TeraBox account. Cyrillic filenames transfer fine, but extract with an encoding-aware tool (7-Zip, Keka) to avoid garbled names.
Step 3: Upload to TeraBox
Open terabox.com, navigate to your target folder, and drag the extracted content in. Free-tier uploads run slower than Premium. Keep the tab open until the queue clears.
Method 2: Cloud-to-Cloud Transfer with CloudsLinker
Move Yandex Disk to TeraBox Without Local Downloads
CloudsLinker connects Yandex Disk over OAuth and pushes data directly into TeraBox. The transfer runs server-side, so it is not bound by your local bandwidth or the free-tier upload throttle.
Step 1: Connect Yandex Disk
In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud and select Yandex Disk. Your browser opens the Yandex OAuth sign-in page. Enter your Yandex credentials and approve read access. Yandex Disk appears as a connected source.
Step 2: Connect TeraBox (Browser Cookie)
TeraBox has no public OAuth, so the connection uses the cookie from your logged-in TeraBox tab:
- Install EditThisCookie (V3) in Chrome.
- Open
www.terabox.comin the same browser and confirm you are signed in. - Click the EditThisCookie icon → Export. The cookie JSON copies to your clipboard.
- In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud → TeraBox → enter a display name → paste the JSON → Confirm.
Without an extension, open DevTools (F12) → Network, refresh the
page, and copy the full Cookie header (ndus=...; ndut_fmt=...).
Step 3: Configure the Transfer
Open the Transfer section. Select Yandex Disk as the source and browse the folders you want to move. Select TeraBox as the destination folder. Apply a 4 GB file-size filter for free TeraBox so oversized files do not queue and fail. Use Copy to keep the Yandex copy intact; switch to Move later to delete the source after a successful transfer.
Step 4: Start and Monitor
Start the task. The Task List reports transferred size and remaining items. Transfers continue on CloudsLinker servers even if you close the browser. If the TeraBox cookie expires mid-job, the task pauses and prompts you to paste a fresh one. Verify a sample in TeraBox before freeing up Yandex storage.
Method Comparison
| Method | Ease of Use | Speed | Best For | Uses Local Bandwidth | Skill Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Browser Download + Upload | ★★★★☆ | ★★☆☆☆ | Small libraries, one-off moves | Yes | Beginner |
| CloudsLinker | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★ | Larger libraries, hands-off moves | No | Beginner |
- Extract with encoding-aware tools: Cyrillic filenames can garble in older ZIP extractors. Use 7-Zip or Keka for the browser route.
- Filter files over 4 GB: the free TeraBox cap is the main constraint. Identify large files on Yandex before the run.
- Reset share links: public Yandex Disk links stop working once files are removed. Recreate the necessary ones in TeraBox.
- Check 2FA on the Yandex account: if enabled, OAuth consent may require confirmation through the Yandex Key app.
- Refresh the TeraBox cookie before long jobs: re-login right before exporting the cookie for a longer effective lifetime.
- Verify before deleting: open a sample of files in TeraBox before you free up or close the Yandex account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Conclusion
For a few gigabytes, the browser route — download from Yandex Disk, upload to the TeraBox web app — is enough. For a larger library or a hands-off move, CloudsLinker connects Yandex Disk through its OAuth flow and TeraBox through its cookie, running the transfer server-side without the slow free-tier TeraBox upload throttle. Set aside any file over 4 GB before the run, and keep the Yandex account intact until the TeraBox copy is verified.
