Saving Others' Shared Files to Quark Drive: How to Transfer, Whether It Uses Your Space, and Overseas and Free-User Limits

First log in to your own Quark Drive account, open the share link the other person gave you (enter the extraction code if prompted), and on the share page tick the files you want to keep, then click Save or Transfer to my Drive and choose a destination folder. After that the files are in your own account, ready to download or view online anytime. If overseas access is laggy, connect a return-to-China accelerator to a China node first for a smoother operation. The exact button wording varies slightly by version, so confirm by testing.

Yes, it does. Transferring means saving the shared files into your own Drive, so it uses your account's storage, and the larger the files the more it uses. Free users have limited space (new users start around 10GB, with extra from events), so transferring many large files easily fills it up and you need to clean up or expand in time. The exact calculation is best confirmed by testing. If you only need a temporary copy, you can also download it after saving and then delete it to free up space.

It stays. Transferring essentially copies the shared files into your own Drive, and once done that copy belongs to your account as an independent copy, decoupled from the original share. After that, the other person deleting the original, cancelling the share, or the link expiring does not affect the copy already transferred into your account. So the best move when you find useful resources is to transfer them immediately as a backup. Overseas users with an unstable network should transfer as soon as they can access it, then download locally as needed, for double safety. Confirm by testing.

After you click Save to Drive or Transfer, a destination picker appears, and you can drill down through your own Drive folders to pick the one to save into, or click New Folder in that screen to create one first and then save. Once confirmed, the files transfer into your chosen folder. It helps to create folders by type ahead of time so transfers land in place and are easy to find later. For overseas users with many files, sorting them on save is especially important to avoid hunting through them on a slow network later. The exact screen follows the latest version.

The transfer limit is mainly bound by your account's available space: free new users start around 10GB (events can add more), and as long as the transferred files do not exceed your remaining capacity, even a single large file usually fits; once space is full you cannot transfer more. To store more, check in daily for space or open a membership to expand (SVIP reaches 6TB). Whether there is a separate per-file size cap is not clearly covered in the material, so confirm by testing.

This triggers when you hit the per-transfer file count cap. Fixes: split the files into several batches and transfer them in smaller groups; if the share has many scattered files, pack them into a folder or archive at the source first and transfer as a whole; and since regular users usually have a lower cap than members, long-term heavy transferring can warrant opening SVIP to raise the limit. For overseas users facing a slow network on top of this, small batches are even more advisable, avoiding both the count limit and lag or risk control. The exact cap follows the latest version. Confirm by testing.

To transfer only specific files from someone's share link, open the link, enter the file list, and first tick just the files you want (most versions have a checkbox next to the file name, or long-press to enter multi-select mode) rather than selecting all; then click Save to Drive or Transfer, choose the destination folder, and confirm, and only the files you ticked are transferred. This avoids the count limit and space usage of transferring the whole package. For overseas users on a slow network, picking a few files on demand also reduces lag. The exact selection entry follows the latest app or web version. Confirm by testing.

The transfer feature itself works normally in Hong Kong; the platform does not limit transfers just because you are there. The real obstacle is the network: Quark's servers are in China, so an overseas direct connection often times out and loads slowly, which can make opening share links and transferring laggy. Use a return-to-China accelerator to a China node first. For the account, without a mainland number you can register WeChat with a local number and use WeChat login. The exact transfer quota is best confirmed by testing.

Yes. Taiwan users can use Quark Drive's transfer feature normally, with no Taiwan-specific transfer block. The two main hurdles are: the network, since Quark's servers are in China and a direct connection from Taiwan is often slow, so a return-to-China accelerator is advised; and registration, which needs no mainland number, so you can register WeChat with a Taiwan number first and use WeChat scan login to Quark, with free space for new users. The exact transfer size limit depends on account type, so confirm by testing.

The transfer step is mainly an internal cloud operation, so its speed is theoretically acceptable, but Quark's servers are in China, so a direct connection from Singapore often times out and loads slowly, and even opening the share link may lag. In practice a return-to-China accelerator or VPN to a China node is recommended for a much steadier experience. Whether a VPN is strictly required varies by network, but the community generally recommends one. For the account, register WeChat with a local number and use WeChat login.

Transferring is an internal cloud save, so it is usually not too slow itself; what really affects the experience is the access network, since Quark's servers are in China and a direct connection from Malaysia and other Southeast Asian areas often times out and loads slowly, which drags down opening links and later downloads. A return-to-China accelerator to a China node helps. If you then download, free users already have limited download speed (often tens of KB/s to 1-2MB/s in tests), which an accelerator can help optimize together.

Success depends on two things: entitlement, since offline download of magnet and BT links is mainly an SVIP feature and free users are quite limited, so steady use needs a membership; and the network, since Quark's servers are in China and a direct connection from Thailand often times out, so a return-to-China accelerator to a China node is advised. With both in place, offline BT download usually succeeds, though the speed of downloading locally is still limited on the free tier. Paying for membership overseas needs a usable mainland payment method or third-party top-up.

Transferring someone's shared resources into your own Drive and then downloading them to yourself is a very common usage in the community and is a normal Drive function. Whether it is legal depends mainly on whether the content you transfer is itself infringing or non-compliant, which you should judge yourself. For safety, stick to the official app and official features, and avoid third-party unlimited-speed direct-link parsers or userscripts, which are grey methods with a risk of account bans and privacy leaks and are never endorsed officially. Confirm compliance for your actual case.

Yes; the key is getting the account logged in first. Without a mainland number, the mainstream method is to register WeChat with a local number, then choose WeChat login to scan in on the Quark web app or app; if a Bind phone number prompt appears after login, you can ignore it for now. Once in, opening share links, transferring, and downloading work like any user. Note WeChat login is not a 100 percent bypass of the phone number, since some users are still asked for a mainland number; in that case use a virtual mainland number to receive the code or ask a mainland relative to receive it.

Yes. WeChat login is an officially supported third-party entry (Quark has an official WeChat QR login page), and once logged in it is a normal account, so transferring, online playback, and other features are unaffected. But note the trade-off: logging in via WeChat bound to an existing account does not get the 'new-user 1TB' perk, which requires a phone-number code login on a brand-new device or unregistered number, completed inside the app. For everyday transferring, WeChat login is perfectly enough.

The material does not mention Apple ID as a standalone Quark login method; it is more of a workaround of using a spare Apple ID to finish registration in the phone app first, then moving to the desktop. After registration it is a normal account and the transfer feature is not reduced, though confirm by testing. Note that to get the new-user 1TB perk you still need a phone-number code login on a brand-new device, completed inside the app, and this path alone may not trigger the perk.

Usually you need a return-to-China accelerator or VPN. Quark's servers are in China, so a direct connection from Taiwan often times out and loads slowly, and a China node improves the experience. For registration, Taiwan users need no mainland number: register WeChat with a Taiwan number first, then use WeChat login on the Quark web app or app, ignore the Bind phone number prompt, with a stated roughly 10GB free space for new users. Note that some users are still asked for a mainland number after scanning, in which case use a virtual mainland number to receive the code or ask a relative to receive it.

This kind of prompt is usually tied to an overseas network, an abnormal IP, or frequently switching login methods. Try in order: use a return-to-China VPN or accelerator to a stable China node before logging in, since Quark's servers are in China and an overseas direct connection is inherently unstable; avoid switching login methods or IPs repeatedly in a short time; and switch to the steadier WeChat login (register WeChat with a local number, then scan). A few users claim a China IP may be needed, which is unconfirmed. If it still fails, use a virtual mainland number to redo phone-number verification, or ask a relative to receive it.

Quark's risk control triggers extra SMS verification for an out-of-area or overseas IP, which is common overseas. Approach: switch to a China node with a return-to-China VPN or accelerator before logging in to reduce out-of-area risk control; if you have no mainland number that can receive codes, use a virtual mainland +86 number such as eSender to receive a code once, or ask a mainland relative to receive it; and after verifying, keep the session logged in and avoid frequent IP changes. Whether it passes in one go depends on your account and number, so test it.

If the account was originally created via WeChat login, the easiest recovery is simply to scan in again with the same WeChat, usually without a password. If the account is bound to a mainland number you genuinely no longer have, recovery is trickier: try a virtual mainland +86 number (such as eSender) to receive the recovery code, or ask the mainland relative who received it originally to help again. The exact recovery flow follows the actual options in the app, so confirm by testing.
