How-to
How to Save Terabox Videos to Your iPhone or Android Gallery
Download a Terabox video on your phone and get it into Photos or your Gallery. Separate steps for iPhone (Safari and Files) and Android (Chrome and Files).
Downloading a Terabox video on your phone is the easy part. The part that trips people up is finding it afterwards, and getting it into the Photos or Gallery app where you actually want it. Here's exactly how to do both on iPhone and Android.
On iPhone and iPad
Step 1: Download the video
- Copy the Terabox share link (long-press it in Messages, WhatsApp or Telegram → Copy).
- Open TeraLoader in Safari and tap the Paste button, or paste into the box yourself.
- Tap Get Video, then Download.
- Safari asks "Do you want to download…?". Tap Download. A blue arrow appears in the address bar while it downloads.
Step 2: Move it to the Photos app
- Tap the download arrow in Safari's address bar, then tap the finished file. Or open the Files app → Browse → On My iPhone → Downloads.
- Open the video, tap the Share button (square with an up arrow).
- Choose Save Video. It now appears in Photos under Recents.
No "Save Video" option? iOS only offers it for formats Photos supports (MP4 and MOV). For MKV or AVI files, keep them in Files and play them with a free app such as VLC.
Change where Safari saves downloads
Go to Settings → Apps → Safari → Downloads (or Settings → Safari → Downloads on older iOS) to choose iCloud Drive or On My iPhone. Choose On My iPhone if you don't want large videos uploading to iCloud.
On Android
Step 1: Download the video
- Copy the Terabox link.
- Open TeraLoader in Chrome (Samsung Internet and Firefox work too), paste the link, and tap Get Video.
- Tap Download. A progress notification appears at the top of your screen.
Step 2: Find it in your Gallery
On most Android phones, videos saved to the Download folder show up automatically in Google Photos (under Library → Download) or in Samsung Gallery (under Albums → Download). If you don't see it:
- Open Files by Google (or My Files on Samsung).
- Go to Downloads and find the video.
- Long-press it → Move to → choose DCIM or Movies. It will appear in your gallery within a few seconds.
Running out of space?
Videos from Terabox are often large (an hour of 1080p can be 1–3 GB). Before downloading:
- Check your free space: Settings → General → iPhone Storage on iPhone, or Settings → Storage on Android.
- If space is tight, stream the video instead. Nothing is saved to your phone.
- Delete the file from Downloads after moving it to Photos, or you'll have two copies.
Troubleshooting
The download stops halfway
Phones pause downloads when the screen locks or the connection changes. Keep the screen on and stay on one Wi-Fi network for big files.
The download finished but the file is tiny or won't open
That usually means the download link expired and an error page was saved instead of the video. Go back, paste the link again, and download straight away.
I get "This file type is not supported"
Your gallery can't play that format. Install VLC (free on both iOS and Android) and open the file from there.
Frequently asked questions
Where do Terabox downloads go on iPhone?
Safari saves them to Files → On My iPhone → Downloads (or iCloud Drive → Downloads, depending on your settings).
Why doesn't my downloaded Terabox video show in the Android Gallery?
Some gallery apps hide the Download folder. Move the file to DCIM or Movies with your Files app and it will appear.
