No. Certainly not and one of this is Terabox. A lot Cloud Storages that provides 1TB+ for free have a very bad history some of them are doing exit scam, sudden reduce of the download and upload speed so you will be forced to upgrade your plan and lastly just suddenly disappears.

Terabox dumped their old version (Rebrand) and a lot of people are debating if It's a shell company or honeypot (Spying people).

Summary
  • Potential exit scam,
  • Sudden reduce of the download and upload speed so you will be forced to upgrade your plan.
  • Just suddenly disappears.
  • Your files are scanned by their AI regularly and your data is likely getting spied by the Government.
  • Your privacy doesn't exist on chinese cloud storages and there is nothing you can do about that.

Pros
  • 1TB+ Storage for free and more.
  • Though they can spy on your data, you can simply use a software to encrypt them before uploading them. There are a lot.
  • Always have plan B. So backup your data locally too while using them.

So how about you. What do you think?
 
depende siguro kung anong files ang nilalagay ng isang indibidwal.

for ex: kung ako gagawa ng account sa Tera, pag a-uploadan ko lang ng mga movies yan, or other app installer. so i guess it is safe for me.

pero kung personal files, i guess it is good to be safe than sorry. so it's a no-no para sakin pagdating sa mga personal files and docs.

Yes po It really depends on the files that you are going to upload. Some movies or random files are fine except personal ones. Better safe than sorry talaga huhu
 
depende sa files na ilalagay mo, kung talagang praning ka in terms of security in cloud storage pede ka naman gumawa ng sarili mong cloud based NAS,

LOTS OF COMPANIES ARE INSECURE OF TERABOX. I HAVE BEEN USING TERABOX FOR 2 YEARS. AND I FOUND OUT THE ENVIOUS IS THE ONE SPYING TERABOX AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
 
nakakainis iyan terrabox. kailangan pang gamitin yung app nila para lang makapagdownload ng file doon WTF?! Hindi rin puedeng direct to website yung downloads nila unlike sa mediafire or google drive. Ano pang silbi ng website nila na hindi puedeng downloadan gamit website nila.

I don't trust them neither kapag mag lalagay ka ng confidential files sa cloud storage na iyan. Sisilipin ng mga tsekwa yung mga confidential files mo diyan.

In the dark web I don't know what happened to the website but there were leaked documents of countries spying including NSA there. Yes they will spy on your files and store it in their storage for analysis and probably more, It might look good because of the offer but If you look deeper in the company It's untrusted.

Someone at NSA might have been using terabox or any untrusted cloud storage services. Sadly terrabox usage was also been popular here in PHC. Most of these users of terabox in PHC was only uploading movies, TV shows and even general content. They must stopped using these because its a pain downloading files from them plus its untrusted cloud storage platform.

Not just in shady cloud storage services but in some companies and organizations like NSA had experienced infecting their computers with ransomware or very dangerous virus that lurks into their confidential information and goes right into the ransomware and virus creators.

ang pangit din sa terrabox kelangan mo pa maginstall ng app eh or software kahit naka pc ka, kahit gusto mo lang magdownload, so security concern yun,

omsim paps. gustong kunin pati information na nasa phone mo kaya 💯 red flag iyan. halatang halata na eh.
 
ang tanong baket singled out mo lang ts ang china? lahat ng cloud storage may possibility na ganyan din ka vulnerable sa häçk hindi lang terabox. may galit ka lang ba sa china paps?
eto ang reality paps.. depende sa user yan kung pano nyang poprotektahan ang sarili nya sa pag gamit ng kahit anong online services. pag t@nga ang user, asahan na nating mabibiktima yan. pero pag ang user, alam kung pano i secure ang sarili nya online, hindi man 100% na hindi mabibiktima yan, pero paniguradong pinaka last na yan sa mabibiktima kung meron mang listahan. ang tanong, saan ka sa dalawang klase ng user na yan.
medyo bawasan natin ang sobrang galit sa china lalo nat hindi natin kayang mabuhay na walang gamit sa bahay na made in china hahaha..

It's not about the vulnerability. It's about the inside, please read again also this is based from researched and leaked documents. If we include cloud storage like Pixel drain, Mega.nz, Icedrive when it comes to security and privacy than Terabox then It's as far as the sun to the earth.

Also no If you read some of my posts Its not only about china. If we were to conclude which country spies more It will be the US.
