TeraBox makes it simpler to share large files and folders, but sometimes you need to cancel or revoke access for privacy or security reasons. Whether it’s a temporary link or a public one, the app gives you full control to manage or remove shared links anytime.

Just explore the file sharing portal, find the option to disable the link, and with a single click, it’s done. No unnecessary steps are involved, just a quick way to retract access and keep your documents private. As a long time user, I’ve found this feature handy, especially when working on a project with a time limited validity.

The user-friendly guide in the app explained the process clearly, set an automatic expiration or manually delete the link. With 1TB of free cloud storage, TeraBox also ensures ads-free speed and a secure environment for your important data. If you ever need to stop sharing, the steps are straight forward, no Mod or Premium account is required.

Why Cancel Shared Links?

Sometimes, you accidentally share a file containing sensitive information but don’t worry, revoking the link ensures only the right recipients keep access.

• I’ve done this myself when sending the wrong file quickly canceling the shared link saved me from privacy risks.
• Another important reason is after project completion; once work is completed, you may want to stop others from accessing or editing the files.
• Access control is also key: Maybe you need to change permissions or restrict certain individuals. TeraBox makes it easy to manage this, keeping your data secure.

5- Steps to Cancel Previously Shared Links in TeraBox

1. Locate the shared file:
   • Open the TeraBox app or website and log in to your account.
   • Go to the Shared section in the sidebar or menu.
   • Use the search bar or filters to quickly find the file or folder you want to modify.
2. Select the file and revoke access:
   • Click or tap on the file’s thumbnail or name to view its details.
   • Look for the options dropdown (often marked with three dots) and select “Manage Access” or “Revoke Link”.
3. Confirm the action:
   • A pop-up message will ask for confirmation and click “Cancel Sharing” or “Revoke” to proceed.
   • Ensure you have selected the correct file, as this action cannot be undone.
4. Verify the link is removed:
   • Check the Shared tab again the file should no longer appear in the list of active links.
   • For extra security, try opening the old link in a browser to ensure it’s invalid.
5. Repeat for multiple files (if needed):
   • If you frequently share important items, regularly manage your shared links under Settings > Sharing Management.
   • This keeps your privacy intact and avoids accidentally leaving files accessible.

Additional Tips for Managing Shared Links

To simplify your shared links management, start by using descriptive names for files and folders this makes locating and identifying them much easier when you need to revoke access. I always add the date or project name to my shared items, which helps monitor their activity and quickly spot outdated links that need canceling.

For better organization, regularly review your shared content through TeraBox’s activity feature. You can set expiration dates when sharing to have links automatically expire after a specified period, a great security measure I use for temporarily shared files. Also, consider grouping related files together before sharing to maintain better control and minimize how many individual links you need to manage.
