TeraBox++

Right after I upgraded to Premium, the app automatically enabled the Auto Backup feature without my explicit consent. This is a severe violation of user privacy and a breach of data control. To make matters worse, the original high-quality files on my device storage disappeared, while the versions backed up in your cloud turned out to be compressed and blurry. Real premium apps like Google Photos always wait for explicit user confirmation before backing up or touching local data. Forcing a backup and ruining important data without confirmation is unacceptable and highly damaging to users.

Originally it was free. Worked fine. <br/>Then the ads and begging to pay began. Annoying but the app still worked. <br/><br/>Now if you’ve got something downloaded and try to view it, the video freezes, lags, paused etc. <br/><br/>That is by design as immediately there is a pop up saying to fix it, PAY! <br/><br/>Deliberately Deceptive.

This is Flextech Inc. out of Tokyo, formerly Dubox by Baidu. Neither the terms of service nor the privacy policy mentions Baidu once. That is a choice. And it sets the tone for everything below.<br/><br/>Before you can even reach the terms and privacy policy links, the app puts its tracking permission demand in front of you. You're asked to consent to surveillance before you're allowed to read what you'd be consenting to. That's the handshake. Here's what's actually in the documents:<br/><br/>1. They profile your files. The privacy policy has you agreeing they can aggregate and analyze your information to build &quot;label information&quot; reflecting your &quot;operation habits, interests, or credit,&quot; then use it for automated decision-making and marketing. A storage locker that opens your boxes and scores you.<br/><br/>2. The app reads your clipboard. It's a declared feature, supposedly only for invite codes and share links, with a promise they'll never look otherwise. Your clipboard carries passwords, 2FA codes, banking details, crypto seed phrases. Weigh that promise against a company that won't print its own corporate history.<br/><br/>3. Deletion is discretionary. You email a helpdesk, they &quot;determine whether to accept your deletion request based on your usage,&quot; and if you have any data in your account they won't accept it immediately. No timeline given. It's a storage service. Having data in the account is the entire product. The deletion right functions mainly for empty accounts.<br/><br/>4. Facial recognition KYC on their say-so. When they deem it &quot;necessary,&quot; you must hand over your real name, government ID number, and facial recognition data, which they may cross-check against government-authorized institutions. For a file locker.<br/><br/>5. Liability for losing your data: one month's fee. The all-caps section disclaims &quot;ANY LOSS OF DATA, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY&quot; and caps damages at what you paid that month. The one job the product has is the one thing they won't answer for. The same clause misspells &quot;NEGLIGGNCE&quot; and &quot;ATTRIBTUED.&quot; They couldn't proofread their own liability cap.<br/><br/>6. Breach notification is optional. If they judge that their own cleanup &quot;effectively avoided the harm,&quot; they may simply not tell you unless a regulator forces them. Self-graded homework, and you never see the report card.<br/><br/>7. Your data goes to governmental organizations &quot;or their agents&quot; without your consent, plus a disclosure exception for the &quot;healthy development of youth,&quot; vague enough to cover anything with a badge or a mission statement.<br/><br/>8. No refunds after auto-renewal &quot;for any reason.&quot; You're charged whether you use the service or not. All disputes go to courts in Tokyo under Japanese law. Your realistic remedy is an email and fifteen days of waiting.<br/><br/>The documents can't even agree with themselves. The terms say the minimum age is 15, the children's policy says 13, the guardian section says 18. The privacy policy for this alleged cloud drive contains entire sections on AI beautification and beauty filters. This paperwork was assembled from other apps' parts, and the &quot;affiliates and certain third parties&quot; who inherit permission to scan your files are never named anywhere.<br/><br/>This is a data acquisition funnel with storage bolted on. Stay the hell away.

The app says you get 1TB of data for free until after you make an account and only after you start the backup and look into it more does it say it’s actually only 30GB and the remaining 994GB expires in one month<br/><br/>False advertising and useless!

So much adds

This app is great! I haven’t had any problems and it makes it so much easier on me having 1tb of storage. And if I want more storage it’s really affordable for me unlike other storage apps.<br/><br/>My only feedback i just my preference:<br/><br/> 1. File Sorting (Name/Alphabetical Order)<br/>When sorting files by name, lets say the files are starting with the numbers 1–12 appear in the order. When its sorted by name its in order as 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3… instead of 1, 2, 3… 10, 11, 12. I don’t know if this is a different way of sorting but i would appreciate the option for the second order.<br/><br/><br/> 2. Video Preview<br/>When I tap on a video or MP4 file, it automatically starts playing. I’d prefer it to show a thumbnail/photo preview first, with a separate action needed to begin playback. This would make browsing files much easier.
