But I don't mind as long as they're just media files to be backup-ed (for free!).
"TeraBox Achieves 50M Global Downloads – BUT BUYER BEWARE
Errm – who is TeraBox? Despite their 50 million downloads, I had never heard of them, so their press release served purpose, getting more people aware of who they are. A dropbox wannabe, they differ from all the other cloud drive players because they offer 1TB of storage free. That's a lot of storage and probably part o the reason for the massive number of downloads, so is there a catch? Well, after digging around, I have found a few, and it comes back to my first question. Who is Terabox?
They are a Chinese company, and the service was originally called Dubox. Under this brand, they were known to use some questionable tactics. They refer to your data as "user material", which in practice means they can sell the data you upload to your terabox drive. They were also known to use a tactic where once you upload a lot of data, they start to bandwidth throttle your free account, at which point almost ransoming you to upgrade to premium.
When something is too good to be true, it usually is; in the case of Terabox free 1TB, you might be better off still settling for Google drives' free 15GB on"
