How to move from another cloud to Terebyte
Updated October 9, 2026
To move from any other cloud storage to Terebyte, get your files onto your computer (with that service’s app, or as a download from its website), then upload the folder with Upload → Upload folder. Terebyte encrypts every file on your computer before it’s uploaded.
On Mac
Step 1
Get your files onto your Mac
Use the service’s Mac app and keep the files on your Mac (often called Make available offline or Download), or download them from its website and unzip the download.
Step 2
Upload the folder to Terebyte
In Terebyte, open My files, choose Upload → Upload folder and pick the folder, or drag it onto the page. Everything inside, subfolders included, is encrypted on your computer before it’s uploaded. Keep the tab open until it’s done; you can pause and carry on later.
On Windows
Step 1
Get your files onto your PC
Use the service’s Windows app and choose Always keep on this device, or download them from its website and unzip the download (right-click → Extract All).
Step 2
Upload the folder to Terebyte
In Terebyte, open My files, choose Upload → Upload folder and pick the folder, or drag it onto the page. Everything inside, subfolders included, is encrypted on your computer before it’s uploaded. Keep the tab open until it’s done; you can pause and carry on later.
On iPhone
Step 1
Save the files to your iPhone
In the service’s app, save the files to the Files app.
Step 2
Upload them to Terebyte
Open terebyte.com in your browser, go to My files and choose Upload → Upload files, then pick the files. Phones can’t choose a whole folder, so folders aren’t kept: for a whole library, a computer is much easier.
On Android
Step 1
Download the files to your phone
In the service’s app, download the files to your phone.
Step 2
Upload them to Terebyte
Open terebyte.com in your browser, go to My files and choose Upload → Upload files, then pick the files. Phones can’t choose a whole folder, so folders aren’t kept: for a whole library, a computer is much easier.
Questions
- Can Terebyte see my files while they move?
- No. Each file is encrypted on your own device before it’s uploaded, with a key only you hold. Terebyte stores ciphertext it can’t read, and that includes the file and folder names.
- What if the upload stops halfway?
- Nothing is lost. Pause and resume whenever you like. If the tab closes, choose the same folder again: Terebyte carries on where it stopped and skips everything already uploaded.
- Will I get duplicates if I upload the same folder twice?
- No. Files already there with the same name and size are skipped. A different file with the same name is kept alongside, as “name (2)”.
