How to Use Quark Drive AI Features: Advanced Tips

Based on the available material, Quark Drive SVIP membership benefits include "recovery of deleted files within 180 days," meaning files a member deletes still have a chance to be recovered within 180 days. The recycle bin retention period for regular free users isn't clearly stated in the material, and is usually shorter than for members, so we recommend confirming as soon as possible after deleting. Another reminder: Quark investigates and deletes content that violates the rules, and resources cleared out by the platform that way can't necessarily be recovered from the recycle bin. Always back up important files locally; don't rely on the recycle bin alone. Refer to the app for the exact free-version retention period; this needs to be confirmed by testing.

You won't lose them. Quark Drive's files are stored in the cloud and tied to your account, so after switching phones, as long as you log in with the same account (the same phone number, or the same account logged in via WeChat QR code), all your files are still there and will sync down automatically. WeChat QR code login is the most convenient for overseas users: on the new device, open Quark, choose "WeChat login," scan the QR code in WeChat, and authorize. Just be careful not to log in with the wrong account. We still recommend keeping a separate local copy of important files, just in case.

Yes. Quark Drive's files and membership are both tied to your account, so logging in to the same account on an iPad and an iPhone lets you use them at the same time with files interconnected. Overseas users can simply log in to the same Quark account on both devices via WeChat QR code. Note that downloading the Quark app on iOS usually requires a China-region Apple ID (some versions are also published in the Hong Kong region), and a mainland Apple ID may not find it overseas, which is a regional availability restriction rather than an account ban. Refer to the app for the exact concurrency limit when logging in to the same account on multiple devices; this needs to be confirmed by testing.

The available information doesn't mention a dedicated TV version of the Quark Drive app. Quark Drive itself supports 4K video playback and screen mirroring, so the more realistic approach is this: log in to Quark Drive on your phone or tablet to play the video, then use screen mirroring to cast the picture to your TV. Overseas users should also keep in mind that cross-border network conditions may affect smooth online playback, so it's best to watch HD content when your connection is good or when you have a back-to-China accelerator on. Whether a native TV version exists and whether you can install it directly from a TV app store should be confirmed with the official source and verified through hands-on testing.

The available information mainly covers Android, iOS, and the web version, and doesn't clearly explain how to download a Mac desktop client. The most reliable way to use it on a Mac is to open the web version in your browser (quarknetdisk.com) and log in by scanning a QR code with WeChat. Overseas users can use WeChat login to avoid needing a mainland-China phone number. Whether a native Mac client exists and where to download it should be confirmed based on what the official Quark site actually offers, and verified through hands-on testing. We suggest starting with the web version, as it covers most needs.

Regarding the desktop side, the information mentions that you can authorize login to the Quark Drive desktop client or web version by scanning a QR code with WeChat. The most reliable entry point is the official Quark site (quarknetdisk.com); just log in by scanning a QR code with WeChat to use it on your computer. If a Windows client is available, you should download it from the official site too, to avoid the risk of bundled software from third-party sites. Overseas users can use WeChat login to avoid needing a mainland-China phone number. The specific download page for the Windows client should be confirmed with the official Quark site and verified through hands-on testing.

Quark's WeChat QR-code login is an officially supported, legitimate authorization method, and it's very common for overseas users to use it to register and log in without a mainland-China phone number, so it's safe in itself. To prevent account theft, the key points are: only scan and authorize on devices you trust, don't scan QR codes from unknown sources, and don't lend your account to strangers to scan. In addition, file transfers use encrypted transmission (SSL/HTTPS). One reminder: don't keep important or sensitive files only on Quark; it's best to back them up locally and spread them across multiple platforms, both to guard against theft and against platform sweeps and deletions.

Yes. Quark Drive officially supports WeChat-authorized login, and this is exactly the standard method overseas and Southeast Asian Chinese users rely on to get around the mainland-China phone number requirement. Here's how: overseas users first register a WeChat account using a Taiwan or overseas phone number, then go to the Quark web version or app, tap 'WeChat login,' and when the QR code pops up, use the '+' in the top-right corner of the WeChat app, choose 'Scan,' aim at the code, and be sure to tap 'Allow authorization.' After logging in, if a 'bind phone number' prompt appears, you can simply ignore it without binding and still use the service, with 10GB free.

Quark Drive free space: newly registered users get 10GB free permanently by default (overseas users who register via WeChat login also get 10GB). Member space: VIP regular membership upgrades you to 3TB (3072GB), and SVIP super membership upgrades you to 6TB (6144GB). Separately, the '1TB free' you may see circulating online is actually temporary promotional space (triggered by saving other people's shared links to your drive); in most cases it's valid for roughly 30 to 90 days and may be reclaimed when it expires, so it isn't permanent, and you shouldn't treat it as stable capacity. In short: a stable 10GB free, 3TB with VIP, and 6TB with SVIP.

After your membership expires, your account space reverts to the free 10GB. Files you've already stored generally won't be deleted immediately, but if your total exceeds the free quota, you'll usually enter an 'over quota' state, where you can no longer upload new files and can only download or delete until your usage drops back under 10GB. So before your membership expires, it's best to back up important files locally. Also note: Quark conducts sweeps and deletions of content that violates its rules (such as overseas film and TV content), and resources caught in those sweeps will be deleted regardless of whether your membership has expired. The exact over-quota handling rules should be confirmed in the app and verified through hands-on testing.

The available information doesn't state Quark's official membership refund policy. Generally speaking, once a virtual membership has been activated and used, refunds are difficult; if you just bought it and haven't used it, you can try contacting Quark's official customer service to explain the situation and request a refund. For purchases made through the Apple App Store in-app, you can go through Apple's refund request process (which usually has a time limit). If you mistakenly bought an auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription, you can cancel the next automatic charge before it expires to avoid being charged again. Whether a refund is possible should be confirmed based on official customer service and the policies of your purchase channel, and verified through hands-on testing.

Quark's continuous monthly or annual plans are auto-renewing subscriptions. To cancel: (1) if you originally activated it via Alipay or WeChat password-free deduction, go to the 'auto-deduction / password-free payment' settings in Alipay or WeChat, find Quark, and turn it off; (2) if it's an Apple App Store in-app subscription, cancel it under 'Settings - Apple ID - Subscriptions' on your iPhone; (3) you can also look for the cancel-renewal option on the membership page inside the Quark app. The steps are the same for overseas users; the key is to go back to whichever channel the charge originally came from to turn it off. The exact location of these options should be confirmed on each platform and verified through hands-on testing.

Both belong to the Alibaba Group, but they aren't the same product. Quark Drive was incubated by Alibaba's UC Browser team and is operated by Guangzhou Dongyue Information Technology Co., Ltd., positioned as 'smart cloud storage'; Alibaba Cloud Drive is a separate, independent product line. In short, they're 'siblings' under the same group, with separate accounts, space, and memberships that aren't interchangeable. Registering for one doesn't automatically give you the other.

The information doesn't directly compare against 115, so we can only speak to Quark's situation: the free version's 10GB is on the small side and fills up easily with large files; once you open SVIP super membership, your space goes up to 6TB and the maximum single-file upload is 100GB, which makes it more suitable for large files. But note that free users only get download speeds of a few hundred KB/s, so downloading large files is slow, and you need a membership's dedicated channel for it to be fast. Overseas Chinese users are also affected by cross-border network conditions. You'll need to compare the two for yourself to decide which is better.

With Quark Drive, the other person can open a share link and save or download from it without a membership; a free account is enough. The difference lies in download speed: free users generally only get a few hundred KB/s (measured at roughly 260 to 700KB/s), so downloading large files is fairly slow; only SVIP gets the dedicated high-speed channel (measured at roughly 11MB/s). So 'whether you can download' and 'how fast you download' are two different things; you can download without paying, it's just slow.

The Quark Drive information doesn't provide specific steps for share link validity periods or password settings, so this part should be confirmed in the app and verified through hands-on testing. What can be said for certain is this: if shared content involves rule-violating or copyrighted material, it will be automatically reviewed, blocked, and deleted by the platform, causing the link to fail. Starting in April 2026 there has been a large-scale sweep of overseas film and TV content (American, Korean, Thai dramas, and so on), and even renaming files may be detected. So a link 'failing' is often not about expiration, but about the content being swept.

Quark free users measure download speeds of only a few hundred KB/s (in the 650 to 700KB/s range), and after opening SVIP it's around 11MB/s. But in overseas regions like Indonesia, the bigger bottleneck is the cross-border network: Quark's servers are mainly located inside mainland China, so connecting from overseas has to go through international gateways, with high latency, packet loss, and bandwidth congestion. Even with a membership, things may still be slow because of the cross-border link. A common community workaround is to pair it with a back-to-China accelerator or VPN for a closer point of access. The actual numbers vary with your network and need hands-on testing.

You can use it, and Quark supports automatic photo-album backup, but there are a few trade-offs to weigh: first, connecting directly from overseas may time out and upload slowly, often requiring a back-to-China accelerator to be stable; second, the platform conducts automatic review and sweeps of content, so it's not recommended to keep important photos only on Quark. The community consensus is 'don't keep important or sensitive files on just one cloud drive,' so we suggest keeping a separate local copy and spreading backups across multiple platforms, to avoid losing your only copy due to a sweep or link issues.

Quark Drive's everyday registration and basic use don't strictly require real-name verification; overseas users can log in by scanning a QR code with WeChat to get in and use the 10GB of free space. Real-name verification or a Chinese bank card usually only comes into play when you pay to upgrade to membership and go through Alipay or WeChat Pay. Without a mainland ID card, you can first use the free features normally via WeChat login without real-name verification; paid membership, however, may be limited by real-name and payment-method requirements. The exact verification thresholds should be confirmed in the app and verified through hands-on testing.

You can use Quark Drive normally without real-name verification: after logging in by scanning a QR code with WeChat, you can upload, download, preview, share, and save to your drive, and you still get the free 10GB as usual. The clear limitation is paid upgrades; opening SVIP membership usually requires Alipay or WeChat Pay, which often need a Chinese bank card and real-name verification, and that's a hurdle for overseas users. In other words, basic free use isn't blocked by real-name verification, but you'll run into the payment and real-name barrier if you want to pay to boost speed and expand storage.
