Overview
TeraBox shared links force you to install an app, create an account, and wait through throttled download speeds just to get a single file. TeraBox makes receiving files far harder than it should be.
Terabox Downloader cuts through all of that. Click the shared link, and the extension grabs your file at full speed right in your browser. No app to install, no account to create, no throttled download speeds.
It works with single files, entire folders, and multi-file shares, keeping everything named and organized exactly as it was shared. Multiple TeraBox links can be queued up and processed in one run.

Reviews
- No more TeraBox app installation prompts (5/5): I receive design assets from clients in China through TeraBox links. This extension downloads everything without forcing me to install the TeraBox app or create an account. Massive time saver. - Wei Liang

FAQ
Do I need to install the TeraBox app to download files?
No. The extension extracts the direct download URL from TeraBox shared links and downloads files through your browser. You do not need the TeraBox desktop or mobile app.
Does this bypass TeraBox speed limits?
The extension resolves direct file URLs that avoid the standard throttled download path. Download speeds depend on your internet connection and TeraBox server load.
Do I need a TeraBox account?
No. Public shared links can be downloaded without an account. If the shared link requires a password, you will need the password provided by the file owner.
Can it download entire folders shared on TeraBox?
Yes. When a shared link contains multiple files or a folder structure, the extension lists all contents and lets you download everything with the original directory organization preserved.
Is my data tracked?
No. All downloads happen locally on your device. No TeraBox URLs, filenames, or usage data are sent to external servers.
Is this legal?

That said, here are a few widely accepted best practices for safe, responsible downloading:
