Weiyun, the cloud storage service from Tencent is offering a massive 10 TB (10240 GB) free cloud storage to its new customers. For the uninformed, Tencent is the largest internet company in China. It provides various services like QQ.com (web portal), Tencent QQ (instant messenger), WeChat (the Chinese competitor to leading smartphone messenger WhatsApp) etc.
When it comes to the amount of free cloud storage, Tencent Weiyun puts its western counterparts to shame. Many popular cloud storage services like Dropbox, Box etc. offer free storage but they range only from 2 GB to 50 GB.

If you worry about trusting your valuable data with an unknown Chinese cloud storage service, you shouldn’t probably worry because Tencent is a $100 Billion company and one of the largest Internet company in the world. It has huge reputation at stake and it wouldn’t just shut down overnight taking away all your data along with it.

This worked perfectly! Thank you so very much :D
You are welcome!
I would like to ask about your advice on whether there is a possibility that the site will be shutdown due to recent events involving pornography on Baidu, Sina, and Tencent’s servers.
I know that a popular education book sharing site, http://ishare.iask.sina.com.cn/, has been shutdown as a result of the new policies that are taking place. Currently Baidu has turned off their bittorrent feature but the sharing features are still available. Similarly on Weiyun there is file sharing capability. If this is exploited by people sharing child pornography, I think we can expect that these services will be shutdown immediately.
What do you think? I know you have written that they wouldn’t shutdown, but take a look at Sina. Sina also runs Weibo, and they have decided to shutdown a service which was exploited by people sharing pornography. The site was not meant to be used in this manner.
Linny
I understand your concern regarding Weiyun, but the stakes related to cloud storage are too high. In case of violations, corrective measures will be taken rather than immediate shutdown (this is my personal opinion and I can’t assure you of the same).
I installed the software but when I press of the triangle next to my username it shows that I only have 2 GB – Why is this please?
Hi John,I think you didn’t log in your QQ id on your phone .you can do that on any phone whitch has installed weiyun app.then go to Weiyun and click on the large blue button to get your 10 TB free cloud storage! this is important !
ok !
How the “large blue button” looks like? I can’t find it at all. Can you show how it looks like?
Agreed, they must have changed the site?? There is no large blue button that I can see.
Some help on this would be appreciated!
I did this yesterday. It was very confusing as it seems the website has been changed several times and our websites/blogs have not kept up with the changes. First, you now only get 1tb, not 10tb. Second, there is a way to get an additional 3tb of space (for a total of 4tb) however that is equally confusing –and when I log in via the web client (Windows Desktop or MacBook Pro or Ubuntu laptop with Safari, Chrome, Chromium or FireFox) it still only shows 1024GB (1tb) available but on the iPhone Tencent Technology app version 3.3.2 it clearly shows that I have 4096.00GB (4tb) available. My droid tablet is too old (ice cream sandwich) to install the android version of the app and I’m certainly not going to put the extra 3TB of files on my iPhone 5GB at a time (that’s all the space I have left on my iPhone) so I will have to try later with the Windows Desktop client on a VM and see how that works. As I don’t speak Mandarin (Chinese) I can’t read the details and Google Translate isn’t the best with the site. Its possible that the 4tb only works via mobile devices and the Windows app is a SYNC client which would mean that the 1-4tb of space isn’t of much use to me.
Regardless of the above comments, when you go to weiyun.com you will see a 3D barcode square on the right side of the homepage. You need to go to the full (non-mobile) site. in the lower right hand corner of that white box that contains the 3d barcode you will see a blue link/hyperlink that Google Translate shows “Login micro letter”. Click on that link and it will bring you to another page where you are presented with another 3D barcode where you must use your WeChat mobile app to log in (use the discover feature to scan the barcode).
From there, on the top left, in small font you will see the link to get an extra 3TB of space. You must scan the 3d barcode again with your WeChat app and then add them as a contact and “follow” them. Once they are added as a contact, click on their contact info in your WeChat app and you’ll see a link to the 3TB. You have to click on that link (the top where you can see “3T” in the Mandarin). Click on that link and it brings you to another page (on your mobile device) where you must login/authenticate with your QQ number and password. It’ll bring you to an orange button, it took me some trial and error but the bottom link will get you the 3TB. Just click on them, they are either advertisement pages or the link for the extra 3TB.
Hope that helps.
My web login still does not reflect the extra 3tb of space. If anyone knows the secret to getting that fixed/sorted I’d be very appreciative if you’d comment and let me know!
Thanks.
I got everything down till the “Login micro letter” I see the blue link on the top left corner and when I press it it takes me to that 3D pengu if that is whant you ment, but no scan? And if I go to the link on the bottom of that page, it takes me to a page where I gues you can buy points using yen, and I also tried to scan using QQ app and I got ways to pay for 3TB I think and I dont want to pay then I used wechat app but it gave me an error. Any help?
it only gave me 1TB…. ? :( not 10TB… i read somewhere that it gives you 1TB but if it gets filled you will receive more and more (up to 10TB) space time to time.
I cannot even register. It constantly says “invaclid verification code” EVEN THOUGH i am typing it correctly (after all only four letters).
Same problem here. And since it’s all in Chinese, I’m not really sure of what I’m doing.
No, it’s in English. At the beginning they have provided the English version. Didn’t you see it!?
Nevertheless, VERIFICATION WRONG, my @. WTF???
It’s your password! Not the code like the instructions says.
What is thatr suppose to mean!?
is there possible login with airfile mac application to that cloud service ?
they created app for that cloud services but it’s chines language.
thanks!
Absolutely brilliant. I remember reading about this a while back and thought that it was almost too good to be true. Lets be honest, I’m sure more than a few people thought that trusting a Chinese company with their info would be a daft thing to do. If only those people realised just how big a company Tencent are! I’d suspect the Chinese spy no more than the U.S. and UK Governments do anyway. Got my 10TB all set up thanks to this page. If only an english language option was available in the phone app, or even a guide for the app at least. But I can wait for that to roll out.
So, this makes the “spying” ok?
So you still believe you have a choice? Is eating meat ok? Is killing ok? WTF. Grow up.
How did you get 10TB cause as I went through the comment section and they got 1TB
Same here I only have 1 TB, have you found an solution for it yet?
Thanks very much!
I set up an account. Then I tried to upload a 2G file. An untranslated error message appeared that only had X and Cancel options. I tried to upload an 800MB file and a 300MB file, no luck with either one. Trying a 100MB file, that message did not appear, and the system seemed okay with uploading the file. I want to back up 10TB of video files. Each hour of video is a 10GB file. Is there a way to upload larger files? The software instructions are in Chinese, so if there is a software option, I can’t read what it is.
The Power Upload option should let you upload files up to 32gb. Needs to have the windows installer file applied though for that. I have noticed however that for me it doesn’t like certain file types. .wmv/.mp4 upload perfectly fine in big sizes. However, my .mkv and .mov files just get the error you mentioned. Slightly confusing really.
How did you get past the Chinese prompts to install the Power Upload option?
Is the Power Upload tool available in english?
Hi Martin, I have the same problem with .mov files. Have you found a solution?
I started a weiyun account last week but now when I try to log in I get a message that says “your ID is frozen”.
Why and what can I do?
All set up and working (or at least I think it is).
Like someone else has mentioned below, if this had an english app it would be EPIC!
Seems like a good service, and who could fault 10TB of storage! However, I too have hit the 300MB per file max upload issue, and would like to know if there is a Linux Power Upload option, (would be a grave miscalculation if there isn’t given the number of Linux users in China) as most of the files I’d like to upload are bigger than that.
Apart from this I think this is a great offer.
Hi
I can’t seem to log into the application on my Android phone and they says that you have to log in to qualify for the storage. What should I do?
Hi i cd go to weiyun page but m not able to upload on it…get a qrscan n it says install micro cloud mobile terminal to see fotos on ur fone. Then there is a qr scan image followed by micro channel scanning,complete the installation
Help guys ..cant do any use of this 10 tb
Hello. I have the same problem. do you have found something about this?
THX.
After 2 days this issue disappeared n another cropped up…..now i can see my account but when i try to upload anything…it says install micro cloud mobile terminal…though i hv done this 10 times already…i had asked customer care for support but no reply till date. The admin here has also never solved my original query n so i dont hv much hope for this one too…crux is i hv 10tb account but its non usable
I hv posted this problem bit no help from admin….disappointed
I am sorry, but there is not much I can do in the case of a technical problem other than hope you get a reply from the support staff.
Please try this out: http://www.1mtb.com/how-to-get-36-tb-free-cloud-storage-from-qihoo-360-yunpan-cloud-drive/ .It gives you 36 TB of free cloud storage.
And “ARM” have you been successful with registering there at yunpan? They want you to have an Chinese number to register.
How did you get 10 TB of storage?
So far, so good. Almost… I signed up and have 10TB of storage. But I can’t install the Power Uploader. It seems to get stuck on plc4.dll. The install stops at that point, and I get an error message. Unfortunately, the error message is in Chinese, so I’m unable to understand it.
Does anyone have any tips for installing the Power Uploader in Windows 7?
Thanks
Same problem for me. Worse than this, I have been able to install it once. Then it went away for some unknown reason and I can’t install it anymore. It gets stuck on plc4.dll but the error message is in Chinese.
Same problem here! cant install the poweruploader, gets stuck on plc4.dll, what could it be?
Hi, everytime i try to create an account through your link, it tells me the email has already been used. I had tried 5 dif ones and none of them should have any problems. Can you offer some suggestions. I would really like to sign up with them. Thx
It would be great if the Cellphone app for Android and instructions were in English. Also the same for the Cloud storage program.
Hi i cd go to weiyun page but m not able to upload on it…whenever i choose upload any foto or document or video etc it says unable to complete previous operation due to low memory. So its bcome pointless to hv 10tb if i cant use it at all.
Help guys ..cant do any use of this 10 tb
It must come with Linux client as well.
I don’t feel really comfortable with this. Can someone explain exactly what they are talking about?
4. Legal Liability and Exemption of Liability
4.1. Permission to Use
4.1.1 Permission to use the User’s computer: In order to obtain the benefits provided by the Software, the User hereby permits Tencent to use the User’s computer processor and the broadband for the sole purpose of allowing other users of the Software to communicate with the User.
4.1.2 Protection of the User’s computer resources: the User acknowledges that Tencent will use its commercially reasonable effort to protect the User’s computer resources and the privacy and completeness of the User’s communications via computer. Nevertheless, the User acknowledges and agrees that Tencent can not provide any warranty therefor.
4.1.3 It is a kind of network interactive software, and Tencent may develop by itself or cooperate with Partners to develop new services or adjust the functions of Software in order to improve software service and experience and consummate the business contents according to the User’s state and behavior of using the Software.
I am no legal expert, but this is what I understand
“Permission to use the User’s computer: In order to obtain the benefits provided by the Software, the User hereby permits Tencent to use the User’s computer processor and the broadband for the sole purpose of allowing other users of the Software to communicate with the User.”
The desktop client will have to use the processor as well as your broadband connection to upload your data to the cloud or download your data from the cloud. As far as communicating with other users is concerned, I think it somehow relates to the ability to search for public files of other users or some other Tencent services which might have been integrated in to this software. I am not very sure though.
“4.1.2 Protection of the User’s computer resources: the User acknowledges that Tencent will use its commercially reasonable effort to protect the User’s computer resources and the privacy and completeness of the User’s communications via computer. Nevertheless, the User acknowledges and agrees that Tencent can not provide any warranty therefor.”
Legal talk to protect it from any liability.
“4.1.3 It is a kind of network interactive software, and Tencent may develop by itself or cooperate with Partners to develop new services or adjust the functions of Software in order to improve software service and experience and consummate the business contents according to the User’s state and behavior of using the Software.”
Changes or updates will be made to the software.
The legal stuff and this is dangerous if you want your PC and files to be used in such a way. This appears to be a data gathering site and to use your Processor and Broad band connection is basically giving the tencent servers and web managers access and permission to do just that. Fime if you intend to share files with others but if you just want to store you personal files use your own Hard Drive or an external hard drive as back up. Although there is interaction in between any computers when files are uploaded and downloaded over the network and some data is stored and collected the privacy issue here is very grey as far as the legal agreement is worded. As for pornography China has very strict rules against some things the western world accepts as permisable. Movies and other Intelectual material are elegal unless they are your own or belong to the category where they are not governed by the laws of the country they are in. US based films will more than likely prohibited for downloads, however, some countries may have varied Intelectual property right law. In China if your registration of your materila is not immediately reported with their authorities they may not accept any legal claims to that property come months down the track. As such your claims for loss of data or personal or intelectual property will hold no water should this hapen to you. ( According to a business report on a talk back radio show in Australia). While some people are complaining about NSA and other agencies regarding privacy others see this as a required evil, however, we must look at the broader aspects. Say your childs picture is retained and sold off to a business for advertising material in China as some apps were designed to use your mobile phone data in such a way and they specified that you will have no right to claim damages or financial loss if the information you stored on their servers is used for profit by others, or your personal details and then you find it is abused by people whoim use this for illegal reasons or ID theft. Just have to make a final comment that while Chinese laws are strict in a lot of ways, in other ways they may be lax and allow for abuse as they see things in a different perspective. Just as I have found out that certain European Country laws were very lax and allowed for extreme abuse even by the authorities. For profits and financial gain people do very strange and unethical things. A siimmilarity in a Chinese mobile phone app or trojan exists in the name of tencent run by Chinas largest Telecom company. This was a data gathering worm or script. Transmitted by emails possibly Wechat or gmail? “Viber” used in Europe has more security concerns as it hijacks you phone data and all your contacts are transferred to their cloud servers. This happened to me in Europe with out my consent or premmission. I was not even aware until it was done some days later after I was encoraged by a friend and family member to use it so we can communicate with each other.Just as well it was a new phone and it did not have all of my older contacts and phone numbers. I had Police and other numbers listed on the older phone due to my occupation and some could have been misconstrued or misunderstood by security agencies in certain parts of the globe. Bolting down some of the new smart phones for security is almost imposible, Computers are just as risky where data is exchanged and the servers want to use your processor (CPU) I assume they mean Computer. As for the othe comment regarding child porn, Hope they get busted and reported. I do not claim that I have never down loaded or wathched anything that I was not sure was not legal as the laws these days are complicated and now wiyth the trans pacific agreement companies have tried to get more lagal rights then the Governments even in Western Democratic countries. Even to the point of pushing for the right to fine offenders $7,000 per offence without legal due process. Currently I recall this can be a $750.00 fine per offence, however, they can wait for the offenced to build up for repeat offenders. Here is the crux, the ISP providers are trying to evade their responsibilities, so the Cloud Server services would more than likely fall into this category. It is good that some people have been shut out, or services were shut down without notice due to abuse. However, how many people could have been reported and fined while abusing the system? The One World scenarion is upon us and we do not know how many countries are actually participating in the data collection and exchange agreements in between thge authority or Police bodies. Everything we do on the Internet leaves a foot print, and very few can avoid all the pitfalls. Hiding on the network is harder now then it has ever been and we have the Terrorism war to thank for that as it was used to open the flood gates for more security and peeping legislation. However, the same information gathering principals can be used against every Internet user. As we have found out in the past few years it did not stop just at criminal activities. Here is something I wanted to know, if we can not down load or view a lot of materials why did the ISP providers offer huge download packages? Just to compete? Give customers a better service? Perhaps this was intended as bait?
Now it is stated if you want to have secure communications use dead mail drops. Not SMS, email, or telephone calls.
4.1.1 Permission to use the User’s computer. Why? If this is on a cloud server? Should the other users not be able to down load from the cloud server with out your computer or them sharing or using your processor and network resources? You only use your network when downloading and uploading. If it is on the Cloud Server it can be accessed by others with permissions? Such as shared files for example.
4.1.2 Protection of the User’s computer resources: the User acknowledges that Tencent will use its commercially reasonable effort to protect the User’s computer resources and the privacy and completeness of the User’s communications via computer. Nevertheless, the User acknowledges and agrees that Tencent can not provide any warranty therefor.
the User acknowledges and agrees that Tencent can not provide any warranty therefor. Commercially reasonable effort?
And a NO Warranty disclaimer!!
4.1.3 It is a kind of network interactive software, and Tencent may develop by itself or cooperate with Partners to develop new services or adjust the functions of Software in order to improve software service and experience and consummate the business contents according to the User’s state and behavior of using the Software.
* Tencent may develop by itself or cooperate with Partners to develop new services or adjust the functions of Software in order to improve software service. Reasonable however, shared with partners (Cooperate) so thge users be aware of the legal wording used here? I would not use this to exchange any business or Intelectual property ideas or sensitive information as it may end up in the commercially manufactured or used wrong hands and rip off the origonal user/s.
Tencent. One concern is this http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/android-malware-targets-china-mobile-subscribers/ transmitted by email. I had a simmilar problem and found Tencent file on my android phone? Is it the same company?
it worked !!! thank you !
When I get to the page where I have to put in the 4 letter verification code, an error in Chinese pops up. If I put in the wrong code it just recycles the captcha, but then I put in the right code, I get the error and it takes me back to the previous email and id page. What do I do now
That sounds weird. Are you sure you are clicking the right icon?
Yes. The white button on the left recycles the captcha. If I put in the wrong code and press the blue button on the right, it changes the captcha also for me to try again but if I put in the correct captcha and hit the blue button on the right, it takes me back to the name an id input page.
This is happening on the app.
I tried taking a look at the captcha page, but, I haven’t encountered a captcha page while logging into the tencent cloud app. I just entered my username and password and that’s it, I have been logged in. It might be that the captcha page shows up only the first time. If that’s the case, I don’t think I am of much help.
I’m having the same problem as the others. So I installed the tencent cloud on my phone and logged in, but I still get this message that all requirements aren’t fulfilled.
I don’t get it. What problem?
Have you hit the big blue ‘Get 10 TB’ button?
Hi thanks for the help. now that i use this cloud i have some questions.
A. one cannot upload a entire folder on to the cloud, unless you guys know how to. Please advice.
B. When i want to access the files or play music from my cloud, i have to download it on the device, cant it just stream it online from cloud without downloading the actual file?
Thanks
Well, that certainly puts my privacy concerns to risk, knowing that they’re so BIG they won’t screw me over.
Re privacy — Oh, even better, it’s via my smartphone. No worries about personal data there.
this is a joke,
I tried 36 tb service and the upload speed was like 10 kb/s
10 tb registration fails with email already exists even though I am making a random one.
Just forget it about, waste of time
How did you get the Chinese number at the registration on the 36 TB website?
how to create new folder
Worked great! Thanks :D
There is no https so there is no encryption. I think it is a good reason not to use it! (Please tell me if i am wrong)
I wouldn’t use it without a VPN connection. Mind that goes for anything I do online.
Does anyone know how FTP software could be used. When I log onto site i get an IP address but this doesn’t work with CuteFTP. Although the software provided works fine and resumes ok too.
First impressions are good. Just hoping I don’t hit the problems outlined above.
Cheers for this info :)
Dear sir
When i go through the registration process. …..it asks for the confirmation code via mobile number….. but the code never arrived. …..
What should i do?
Plz help
As i want to get that.
As Kawal Jeet Singh mentioned the verification code is not being sent by the company and i am really sad now. :(
I’ve got my 10TB no problem, and uploaded a movie in MP4 format yesterday. Also installed power upload on my browser and made sure it was allowed to run. Also installed the software on the PC.
NOW though it won’t allow me to upload any movies at all … how the hell am I to use 10TB if I can’t upload movies … is anyone else having this problem? (I’m in china … have tried with and without a VPN)
what a massive waste of time. you should have started off by saying WARNING!!! WARNING!!! THIS IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR PEOPLE WHO OWN HANDHELD PHONES AND DEVICES!!!
Not TRUE !
in step #3, after you log into the mobile app (I could only do that via the numeric QQ id) there is another step with captcha that must be fulfilled in order to get to offer
So is this only applicable to the v.1 of the app?
As of now, the app store for iPhone only has a v.2 and when I try to complete the 10tb signup….it fails as “all requirements not fulfilled”
Thoughts? answers??
It has a daily draw like 360
Hi,
I’d like to take advantage of the 10TB offer, but this must be done within a few parameters:
1- All the data that I will store on the servers will be encrypted before it leaves North America
2- I will not install any application on my PC. If I must install an application on a PC, I’ll simply do so on a sandboxed virtual machine
Can you tell me, once the account is registered, do I need to use their software to upload to their cloud? Would there be a way to automate sending my encrypted files over there?
Lastly, does anybody know if sending encrypted files (multiple TB) will get your account banned/blocked?
Thanks
PS: I have no doubt that this company is big; but so is Google and Microsoft and they were forced to give the US government some sort of access to part of their data. I don’t want to have to trust anybody.
I can no longer upload any video file regardless of size. Neither from my PC nor from the android app. It used to work, but not anymore.
Trying to upload some big files I realized that a) MKV files won’t upload and b) when I try uploading let’s say MP4 files I get this error message (the red one):
http://tinypic.com/r/24oaz2x/8
Anyone can help with translation?
All I keep getting of late is an error message 1127 which means server is busy then I can’t upload anything.
Big of a ball ache.
cannot upload at all error 1127
Mr
I did all the procedures and have the 10 T, as indicated, but when sending files, says do not have enough space … what did I do wrong?
mobile verification cannot get the code i use many number didn’t get code plz tel me what happen?
Oh boy, what a waste of time!!! At first all was well, I was thrilled to have 10 TB cloud storage space, but then after 2 months, video upload stopped working and now mp3 won‘t upload or download or stream. Even worse, I can’t access any of the music i’ve uploaded previously so it‘s all lost now, all my uploaded music is gone. So if you value your sanity, don’t use this service, as it will drive you insane. So to recap, no video or audio format can be uploaded or downloaded to or from cloud, neither from PC nor from the mobile app.
Well, renaming the video files works. Change extension to pdf or whatever and back on the server rename it again using the browser tools. Without video uploads this cloud is completely useless for me.
Audio sync was working for me till mid- november. suddenly now its stopped working. Upon contacting qqimail@tencent.com im told “Weiyun doesn’t support uploading audio and video yet”. This is absurd. Who’s going to preserve 10tb of doc files :)
You need to wait for about 30/40 min for sms verification to be recived
extension changing trick stopped working too. reallly badddd stuff weiyun
Has anyone tried to upload using the program rather than the web browser. When I try using the web browser, nothing works, not even a simple text file.
N.B.: I lost the password to my old account and now you can only get 1TB.
can the chinese be translated on the app?
:( I would like to report that tencent no longer offers the 10TB and the account i had got cut back to down to 1024GB from 10240GB
Well it seemed as that it worked for me but now I am confused
When I get to step 4 and hit the blue button to the top right (only blue button and it’s not that big to begin with) it takes me to a page to log in and I do so. It then shows my cloud with the files in it and when i check the space I have it tells me 1024G which is only 1TB so what did I do wrong??
Logging into the site in step 5 (the english one) also shows the same space.
How do i change the chinese to english on the tencent cloud?
Use google chrome
How to synchronize individual folders of my computer, how about Mega?
Weiyun has a desktop sync app http://www.weiyun.com/download.html?WYTAG=weiyun.portal.index
It is possible, and if so how I have to do, synchronize individual folders of my computer with Tencent Weiyun?
I only have 1T…. I clicked on the big blue button and it took me to do download the app which I had already downloaded in the earlier step. But I have been on my iPhone for the whole process. What did I do wrong?
Also, thanks so much for this!
how does one upload mp3 files to cloud.. Cant seem to do that
nor any of the videos
My account got blocked with the “Your ID is frozen. (Error:0x00000034)” message. I wrote to QQ support to ask why, and they said simply that my account had been deactivated. My account was just a few months old, I had one contact (my colleague) and we just shared an annotated screenshot from the program we were working on, once every few days when the screenshot didn’t transfer properly on Skype. I can’t imagine a reason why they would block that account, and so far they haven’t replied to my further enquiry asking the reason.
Oh :( 1tb. I guess they don’t give 10tb now. not that i need 10tb, but i do need more than 1tb just for a backup of my other backup which is 3tb
oh yeah same here. i too get 1 tb.. flickr is offering the same..
To whom it may concern, I have been trying to get the 2 free tb from Baidu and I’d say this guide is outdated. If you’re in the US you’re going to find out that getting an SMS from China is a bit tricky. 001 doesn’t work, its a pain in the neck.
Let me save you some time. Sign up for Weibo here —> http://yunpan.360.cn/?u=http://yunpan.360.cn/my?p=profile#%2F
Below the QR Code you’ll see two images, a text sms icon and a weird (lol I have no idea wtf it is) squid? The Weibo logo, click it. Notice you are on a 360 Cloud page (more tb, you’ll start with 360gb but you’ll get up to 4tb more when you log in from a device & pc client. Seems to have an upload limit per day but I like it more than the WeiYun 11tb cloud service which seems to not work at all, 11tb is actually more like zero and you can’t upload certain file types. I highly suggest 360 Cloud, I already have about 86gb uploaded. Btw don’t bother going for their 26tb free, that event has ended.)
Back to Baidu’s free terabytes. Register with Weibo and sign in to Baidu by using Weibo, just hit the Weibo icon here http://pan.baidu.com/
Now you have to download an app and log in from it to end up with the 2053G. You can get the apps here http://yun.baidu.com/1t
Just log in using your Weibo information, done deal. Once you’re signed in you can easily set password to Baidu so you can log in directly.
Nice i’m going to get it!
I followed all the above steps. I had 36tb of cloud space then all of a sudden it dropped down t0 3tb. Any idea how to fix this?
Rejects my Gmail I’d as invalid email id!!
Nic, the tb is there, it just takes a minute to show up. It happens to me all the time.
Zakir, sign in with your phone #, it’ll work. Once you assign yourself a screen name you can log in directly with Baidu with your new SN + PW. Sorry I didn’t mention this earlier, to be completely honest — I don’t know Chinese lol! Kind of figuring this stuff out as I go along^^ Once you assign the screen name you’re set, no more issues.
*I found another site offering free TB but its a limited offer only good for one year — 5 terabytes! I was suspicious at first because it took two days to activate but I can confirm it is for real, I just downloaded the windows client, clean interface. It’s in English and simple to use. The 1 year limit kind of sucks but I thought I’d share it anyway.*

10TB no longer available on tencent/weiyun!!!
I am trying to find an online storage, which gives a direct download link.. i mean if i place link of that file on my site then user wont be redirected to that online storage site at all, once he/she click that link the file will start downloading into the device they have either is PC or Cell Phone.. can anyone help me with this situation? i hope you guys understand what i am trying to say.
use uptobox.com
the l baidu service is a bit problematic, the desktop client when downloading sometimes loses connection and I have to restart it everything to get it downloading again!!!
though it seems better than 360yunpan bcos of its torrent feature
please what do u think
Funciona correctamente!!
Thank you very much!!
Anyone know how to connect a U.S. phone to 360 Yunpan, now that they require a phone number?
When the website ask you for the mobile phone number, try to to change the country. It’s written that it is only for China. Put USA there. I already do it for registering with my country.
hay admin I got only 1tb storage can you say me how can I get 10tb….and in software on my phone how to turn off uploading my sd card memory is getting full every time and how to upload directly to cloud without filling phone memory…..
I does not upload anything, it asks to install the power uploader, but it does not install properly. The system says the files exceeding 300Mb, have to be uploaded only with this uploader, but for smaller size files, it says the system is busy.
Any ideas of how it can be improved?
as of 29 april 2015 everything is dead – 1TB no more no less.
copy.com?r=Pd3euS this site provides you with unlimited and best storage. Just have to refer it to the friends.
Works great. Still they give now only 1 TB.
my qq mail just got stolen and in fact I just opened it for less than a month, this is actually the 2nd time i have such an experience with qq mail. The worse thing is they ask you to text certain message to them but this is only available with Chinese Mainland Mobile No!? I have tried to contact Tencent but know what, there is NO customer service number!!! The program provide the one and only one option: text with a Chinese Mainland cell phone number!!! Holly SHIT! Finally I have found the “contact emai: mailteam@qq.com” and know what, it GOES BACK to the same message of texting with Chinese mobile number!! Isn’t that surprise and FUCK UP? People above, if you are using Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, stick with it coz sometime 100B company in China just not the same as a 100 B company in western!!!
It’s very small and in blue print, but there is a link just below the phone number that lets you select your country.
THere is no big blue button to get 10 tb now. I only got 1tb.
the link to activate 10TB no longer working?
I tried to upload more than 1 GB and sends me to some diamond gold shit on their website. I think in total I uploaded about 600MB before it went berserk. Not only there is no such thing there as 10 TB free, also there is no such thing as 1TB, so basically is a scam, it doesn’t matter that the owner is a billion dollar company is still a scam. SPREAD THE WORD!
Sir, I can agree with u about the uploading thingy, but they have stopped the 10 TB thingy, if u ve read other comments,u will see someone who said the 10 tb is situational, meaning as u exhaust ur 1 TB ur space will be expanded, I got 1TB-it’s not a scam sir, though I can’t vouch for service quality, maybe u need to read up their terms and conditions…..
got 1Tb too
will see what be after rich it all
Just signed up, it works perfectly. It’s totally 1TB, quite a lot anyway.
Hi! It didn´t work for me, I got only 1 TB, where is my mistake?
Okay, So I got everything up and working, but when I click on the “upload” button nothing happens. What should I do?
I can’t get the verification code to activate the storage. I don’t have a cell phone.
I don’t get anything. I don’t have a cell phone at all to get the verification
It gave me 1 TB insted of 10TB
I tried to sign up and, received no notification on email, so, will try again in the near future ps no mobile number so have not received code.
Just read the comments on what the site wants to do i.e. using my computer and hard drive….Pleased I could not sign up….phew close shave!!!!!
I’m trying this again, because I recent got a smartphone. The problem, is when I have the phone connected up to the computer, and go to the google play store, and try to download the tencent app, I’m told I have no devices.
Gave this a try, going to be reinstalling my whole computer soon and wanted to backup my files for a while. It now requires a cell phone.
Directions: Beneath the input box for where you put your number it says “Please enter your mobile number (mainland China number only) select your country/region.” You have to click on the “select your country/region” bit and another box comes up. You need to scroll down to your country and select it. Then put in your cell number with the area code and no dashes or parenthesis. Just numbers. Then it should send you a 6-digit code within the next minute, and you need to type that into the box below to verify.
After that you move on to the email verification step.
Also, step 4 and 5 links no longer work, but they seem unnecessary. I just went to http://www.imQQ.com where it has a link to download the client. Have yet to download it, so unsure if there’s any more needed to be done. *shrugs*
The english does not work any more
The link in step 4 returns a 404 error.
The link in step 5 is not the English-language version.
Does it has desktop application ? To map my windows to 10TB cloud drive ?
Is this still valid?
Hmmm
Didn’t work for me.I got only 1024G account.
Signed up for QQ account – OK.
Downloaded Tencent Cloud to phone – OK
Signed in with phone app – OK
On PC went to http://www.weiyun.com/act/10t-en.html – it redirected to http://www.weiyun.com – bad
Tried again with phone browser http://www.weiyun.com/act/10t-en.html – result page 404 – bad
Checked on PC http://www.weiyun.com/disk/index-en.html – got 1024g – disappointed
anyone have this same problem ? Found a fix ?
Confirmed. Bonus of 10 TB is over, just 1 TB.
yes it is over! Now just 4 TB!
i don’t have a smartphone so f*** off
Doesn’t seem to work. I chose US as the region and put in my phone number, the first time I hit Submit it say “This number has reached the daily limit of verification code received.”. I only tried my number once.
So I tried my other cell number, only once and I get the same error message.
Is there no way of translating the app into English in the settings on the Laptop and Android App? Please?
ok the updated steps to get the free cloud storage!
prevalentco.blogspot.com/2015/09/how-to-get-4-tb-free-cloud-storage.html
Don’t need any china handphone number registration, just need email and your own country phone number.
I signed up and got the 1tb however when I followed the directions to get the additional 3tb (follow them on WeChat) I signed out and when I signed back in it still showed 1tb. Any idea how long it takes and/or do you need to have the Windows desktop application installed or can you use the web client with the extra 3tb for a total of 4tb? Thanks.
Worked for me !!
I tried to do this but upon sign up was asked for a Chinese phone number, appears it is only available to china residents.
Download and Creat a Wechat account. Then log through that cloud with it. Can’t make it easier.
Can use u personal email in other option in the website
“If you worry about trusting your valuable data with an unknown Chinese cloud storage service, you shouldn’t probably worry because Tencent is a $100 Billion company and one of the largest Internet company in the world. It has huge reputation at stake and it wouldn’t just shut down overnight taking away all your data along with it.”
It’s a mainland CHINESE company, many of which are owned in part by the Chinese Communist government!
Sign up for the account for the storage but do NOT believe of NOT worrying about the information provided upon registration or the files that you upload To Tencent Weiyun!
J’avais Wechat avant de télécharger l’application du Cloud. J’ai pu m’y connecter a partir de Wechat. Et j’ai 1024GO. CEPENDANT TOUT EST EN CHINOIS. Pour créer un compte QQ ils me demandaient un numéro de téléphone chinois pour vérifier le compte gratuitement. Impossible de finaliser autrement. Ciao
this is an old article no longer applies
Is it possible to use this service on a Windows desktop computer?
Hello
I followed the instructions until 3.
You write:
“4. Now, go to Weiyun and click on the large blue button to get your 10 TB free cloud storage.”
But at chinese http://www.weiyun.com/, unreadable for those who do not speak Chinese,
I have seen no large blue button.
How i can solve this?
Please post pics and instruction
thanks
Luigi
Is it still works?
I done everything, but there isn’t any blue button on the weiyun page.
Ok, 10TB promo is no longer available. And the 4TB one?
I can’t find the QR code to follow –i don’t know who– in WeChat
thanks a bunch this works well but i can’t get the english version still UI is easy to figure out
Thank you very much. It s ok, but it only gave me 1 TB.
Everything is fine for me, except I got only 1terra, instead of 10gig????
And Chinese????
They have changed the “formula” as described above!
What should I do now, to get my 10 terra, and in English, please??
ozzy
I meant instead of 10terra, of-course, not gig.
In my opinion Dropbox is the best of the cloud services that I use. Mainly for the very clever integration it has with all the apps on my iOS devices, Android devices, mac and PC laptops. it is totally seamless integration.
You can also use this new Dropbox referral link below to earn 2500 MB of free space instantly with the ability to earn even more storage by following Dropbox’s various new / current options to earn more free storage space. This is the dropbox link: db.tt/ldDacPe
Tried to register. Their sms verify server was constant busy, gave up.
I reached 2.5 TB. Cannot upload more than that. I get the prompt:
open membership to upload more files
When I click the link to join VIP membership, it’s all in chinese. I don’t understand which buttons to tick. Anybody?
Thanks.
so… anyone succeded lately? I cannot make the server send me the verification SMS…
I wanted the computer version, and I successfully set it up. It said that I have 10 TB. I easily uploaded 3 GB and was happy. BUT today I could not upload any more. It does not seem to work properly work with OS X El Capitain 10.11.3. Cannot erase either. Somewhere their site said Maverick. That is outdated and may be the reason. Too bad. Anybody with a Mac tried this?
I could not carry out step 4: ” 4. Now , go to Weiyun and click on the large blue button to get your 10 TB free cloud storage . ” Nothing I clicked direciounou me to get 10 TB free, only option to pay .
I was able to log in and have 1024GB free , it is enough, but if I get the 10TB , will be even better. If possible , help me. And thank you for the tutorial .
Does not seem to be sending verification code needed (you left this out in your description of how to join) even though I have the correct international dialling code and have tried several times. At a standstill now.
hello im trying from Spain, and all i get is this message:
“Please try again after 24 hours due to unusually high volume of signups from your IP.”
Doest not work now. Nothing
Had tried this but now just cant use it being chinese language. Had signed up for comments update hoping that someday some solution wd b posted by user or admin. Have notic3d that admin hasnt bothered to get back to post for comments /queries resolution help so now unsubscribing from comment update. Wish it had worked out.
10TB? I registered and got granted 1TB… and this is just a lie… you can upload 2gb and it depletes your limit “daily”, I did attempt to upload more after more thank 24h… no success… so it’s just Asian shit….
Does Tencent weiyun delete my backed up folders if i delete them from my PC?!
(This may sound stupid, but DEGOO does this).
No 10 TB , not even 1 TB. No Big b!ue button anywhere…
So I clicked on the cloud sign, it took me to another page which want to verify my mobile number & charge monthly subscription fee for some 28 yuan… I guess the link/ offer just got expired ? Or am I doing something wrong middle way? Please enlighten me…
Hello please help, I went through the process and was able to install Tencent Weiyun in my laptop but only get 1024 Gb space, I know this is plenty but would like to know if you can guide me to get the 10Tb from here, also I have the English language installed. Thank you.
how did you installed the english language
How did you get English language installed??
It keeps saying my number is invalid~~!!!!!!!!
“4. Now, go to Weiyun and click on the large blue button to get your 10 TB free cloud storage.”
I have the same problem! I don’t understand for the Chinese language’s shit!
I’m stuck at step no. 4. Somebody help me pls.
New Version English Language Update
hellaz.wordpress.com/2016/10/21/weiyun-tencent-disk-storage-sync-application-update-english-language/
3 November 2016: Hi Everyone! I went to try this out but there is no sign of a 10TB offer anywhere on the page, regardless of the steps that are outlined. It would seem that they NO LONGER offer this special deal, and that everyone will simple get 1TB instead, which is not too bad actually. You can try but you won’t find any 10TB button or deal. They have also moved to a Dropbox style subscription service so if you want more space, you will have to pay for it, monthly.
To summarise based on http://www.weiyun.com/vip/privilege.html
FREE USERS can only
1. Upload a max 1G single sized file.
2. Only have 1T Storage
3. Upload 1G worth of data per day (If you have more data you will need to wait till the next day to upload another 35G worth)
4. Sharing of your files will only last 7 Days
5. Speed of uploading/downloading is slow/normal
6. You can only download your files 5 times a day (they didn’t mention the size/data used so I assume it’s number of times)
7. Video backup is ordinary quality (Not HD)
8. QQ Users can store up to 1G of their stuff on the cloud
9. Tabs are limited (Not sure exactly what it is refering to but I think it’s the functionality perhaps)
10. Recycled Data will only be held for 15 days before it is permanently deleted)
For PAID USERS:
1. Upload a max 30G single sized file.
2. 4T Storage
3. Upload 35G worth of data PER day (If you have more data you will need to wait till the next day to upload another 35G worth)
4. Sharing of your files will only last 65 Days
5. Speed of uploading/downloading is Faster
6. You can only download your files 55 times a day (they didn’t mention the size/data used so I assume it’s number of times)
7. Video backup is HD Quality
8. QQ Users can store up to 35G of their stuff on the cloud
9. Tabs are all open (Much functionality and options I guess)
10. Recycled Data will only be held for 45 days before it is permanently deleted)
Hope this helps everyone to understand that they NO LONGER offer 10TB free, only 1TB free and there are conditions attached unless you pay for their monthly service. Give a shoutout if this helped you! Cheers!
Eugene from Singapore
*ERROR:
Under Free User Point 3 I meant that you have to wait till the next day to upload ANOTHER 1G worth, NOT 35G. 35G is for Paid Subscribers.
Thanks your post was useful. I wonder if there is a better service out there? I’ve just read about Yunpan 360 Cloud shitting down, ao I’m looking for an alternative. Maybe Weiyun? Perhaps Baisun? I don’t know yet u.u
I used to have 1Tb now I have 10Gb limit only, but I’ve already uploaded near to 30Gb
Honestly, I don’t understand what happened… new year policy?
Hi admin, i successfully activated weiyun account received 1TB, but this site and app is in Chinese. Any link for English language website??????????? Does this cloud storage has online sync service?????????????????
Great…
Got 1 TB in my Account. They are no longer offering 10 TB. So i request the author of this post to edit it…
Thank You…!
i believe i followed the steps and i have the same tools as the screenshot above, the problem is mine is in Chinese language. Is there a way i can change it to English?.. kindly assist.
I can’t seem to get comments moderated/approved, but Tencent Weiyun changed from 10 terabytes to 10 gigabytes free. Frustrating, in the last few months I have lost quite literally over 100 terabytes of Chinese storage space.
I was looking for a large cloud; I read about Qihoo and Tencent. Qihoo seems to be closed. I joined Tencent. But Tencent has changed from 10 TB to 10 GB and want 28,50 yuan for pay.
I suggest to start a large-scale boycott of Tencent.
Your links don’t seem to be working any more.
I suggest you guys use ‘Degoo’
They offer 100Gb free space, and it looks safe but needs improvement with its android app gui and function.
