[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1094063, member: 92939"] I've just tested it... there's a lot to say! Personally, I wouldn't recommend it at all... I created an account, downloaded the software and tested it. I wanted to upload a 46GB file to see if the servers would hold... complete failure, you have to pay. (While I'm trying, TeraBox offers me a standard speed or I have to pay). [SPOILER="Big fail"][ATTACH alt="Capture d’écran 2024-07-21 144015.png"]284424[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="Capture d’écran 2024-07-21 144046.png"]284425[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] I'm trying with a 1GB file that sends quite quickly (between 9 and 11Mb/s which is between 80 and 100Mbps, far from my upload speed). [SPOILER="Upload"] [ATTACH alt="Capture d’écran 2024-07-21 144221.png"]284426[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] While sending, I decide to see if TeraBox encrypts the transfer. The answer is clear: [U][B]NO[/B][/U] I was able to read the IPs used by TeraBox without any problem. One in China (not surprising, TeraBox is Chinese) and another at a London-based Cloud hosting provider. I wouldn't recommend it... Just looking at the terms of use didn't give me much confidence :D (and giving away 1TB for free when you have to pay for maintenance, servers, connections etc... takes money). [/QUOTE]
