Your choice of 2TB, 10 TB or 36 TB!! of free online Storage - but there is a catch

earlearl Member
in General

So I stumbled upon this site while looking for some online storage and yup, as the title says you may have your choice of 2TB 10 TB or 36TB of online storage absolutely free and for life!

But the catch is, it's in CHINESE! I used chrome since it has that translate feature that comes in quite handy..

Also it's best to use a US IP.. I noticed when signing up with a Canadian IP that it ask you for SMS verification while signs up in the US you get it right away..

I signed up for the Baidu deal considering it has that video streaming option and was pretty easy to get upgraded to the 2 TB, you just have to download and install the phone app, sign in to the website again to get your upgrade.. it was a bit of a challenge figuring out how to sign in to the phone app cause it was all in Chinese, can't recall the steps I took but I managed somehow.. which right after I deleted the app from the phone..

Anyhow instead of writing the whole process I figure I just give you the link to the site, it's pretty straight forward..

Ok enjoy!! let me know if you found it useful or not..

Thanks..

    Not a long-term project, Baidu always change their policy towards their products.

    Look at EverBox, it died with no success, setting a GOOD expamle.
    Even Google will close some projects they didn't make any profits, I don't think Baidu storage project will last too long.

    Well let's be honest.. I would not be putting anything of importance to a free online storage that is based in china.

    something fun to play with.. probably will forget about it by the end of month.

    Probably just to take on 115.com and other sites.

  • putaorenputaoren Member

    I tried them,lots of space,but the speed is unbearably slow,after all,it's free.

  • x16x16 Member

    You can use it download torrent online, but low speed or no speed for non-chinese torrent.

    Probably just to take a laugh when hearing such names.

  • earlearl Member

    Ok so I'm averaging about 200KB/s for an upload so not the quickest, but it's free, I can live with it..

    Also as DannyAlex mentioned, if the fact that they are giving away 2-36 TB of free storage does not raise warning signs, it's pretty much Caveat emptor..

    please use your own discretion on how you use the service and not put anything important that you can't afford to loose.. then again this is LET/LEB it's not like we have not experienced a disappearing act or two from a few providers.

  • aglodekaglodek Member

    There is no such thing as free lunch in China! They are very shrewd business people. You may not be able to see it, but there is always a good reason for anything they do. Sure, use the service, but always be mindful of the above, is all ;)

    The video stream from baidu works well.. it takes a while for the page and player to load but no buffering on the stream..

    Also I signup for 360 but can't figure out how to get the 36TB upgrade, but no matter cause you need to download and install their codec before you can watch your video online so it's not good for me.

  • teddysunteddysun Member

    Baidu pan just have china's CDN, so the network speed is slowly.

    First they gave us these

    and now we get "2, 10 or 36TB storage" :)

    You also have to consider that unless files are created by the users themselves or encrypted, they can be linked to original copies and claimed as allocated space. If 10 people upload the same copy of a DVD they can all be linked to a master copy.

    Unless the files uploaded are files like your own home movies or photographs how unique can the be?

    Yup, it's a bit slow at times, supposedly 360 is quicker but I never checked..

    I remember reading something like this, but I think it was for an American company.. can't recall the name thought, but yeah supposedly there are limited unique content that's why offers like this is possible..

    Hmm I never had to enter a code.. I clicked on one of the link at the top of the CP where it says 2tb free which takes you to this link http://yun.baidu.com/1t

    Then download the app for your device, install and sign in, after a few minutes check your CP at pan.baidu.com, your account should be updated with the 2 TB..

    tricky part was trying to figure out where to sign in when you install the app..

  • ErawanArifNugrohoErawanArifNugroho Member

    Thanks, now I have 10TB storage from weiyun :)

    actually the offer from Tencent/Weiyun is quite nice since the CP is in english.. and you get 10TB.

    Anyone trying to get the 36 TB upgrade from yunpan 360 here is the link to the promo, just click the orange button and sign in with your account..

    http://huodong.yunpan.360.cn/xt

    I honestly would not recommend installing the software to your PC, so you loose 10TB but honestly I would not trust it.. 26 TB for signing up to the tablet/phone should be enough storage.

  • ErawanArifNugrohoErawanArifNugroho Member

    Now, after having soo many free backup services, like Hubic, Dropbox, Copy, Weiyun, I'm start thinking what should I backup :D

    Some of them contains private information, and I don't trust any online backup service 100%. Just in case, they sneak into my data, or someone on purpose hacking the server, and get into my data :D

    But for something that will be useful for future, like software or some ebook/tutorial, it would be enough for me

    I really like the streaming feature of Baidu.. I tried streaming from 360 but you need to download their software before the movie stream can play.. I wished Baidu had an english interface like that of Tencent.. unfortunate That Tencent don't have a streaming feature cause their panel seems to work the best, no lag at all..

    @JamesGTRS

    so what do you get when people sign up through your link?

    I already have a Bitcase account, but never really used it.. I think @freek started a topic on this a while back..
