Download the Quark Drive App

When scanning gives no response in Quark Drive, it's most likely that an unstable network kept the QR code from refreshing, or you missed tapping Allow authorization in WeChat. The correct steps are: open Scan under the plus sign in the top-right corner of the WeChat app, point it at the QR code on your computer, and once scanned, be sure to tap Allow authorization to redirect and log in. If it keeps not responding, first refresh the page to regenerate the QR code, and connect to a back-to-China accelerator to improve the cross-border connection before scanning again.

Frequently getting logged out of Quark Drive overseas is often related to cross-border network drops and IP fluctuations. We recommend connecting to a back-to-China accelerator to keep your exit IP more stable, preferring 5GHz Wi-Fi or a wired connection, and restarting your router and optical modem if needed to reduce connection interruptions. For day-to-day use, logging back in via WeChat login is quick too; just scan to authorize. If it still logs out frequently, go by how the latest version of the official app behaves; this point isn't covered in our source material and would need to be confirmed through real-world testing.

Both have their servers inside China, so a direct connection from overseas can be slow for either. Quark's advantage is in registration: overseas Chinese can use WeChat login to bypass the mainland phone number and get 10GB of free space, so the barrier is fairly low. For heavy downloading, Quark's free speed is also on the slow side, and you'll need SVIP or a back-to-China accelerator to make it smooth. Baidu Netdisk's overseas registration and speed-throttling situation isn't covered in our source material and would need to be compared through your own real-world testing; please confirm this point through real-world testing.

The two are positioned differently. Quark Drive's servers are inside China, so a direct overseas connection can be slow and often needs a back-to-China accelerator, but registration can use WeChat login without a mainland number, you get 10GB free, and membership offers large space (SVIP reaches 6TB) at a cheap price (as low as about 7-9 yuan/month during big promotions). One thing to note: Quark strictly reviews and purges overseas content such as films and TV, so don't store important or sensitive files on Quark alone; be sure to keep local plus multi-platform backups. The specific comparison with Google Drive isn't covered in our source material and would need to be confirmed through your own real-world testing.

Every new Quark Drive account gets 10GB of permanent free space upon registration, and registering overseas via WeChat login likewise gives 10GB. It's enough for everyday documents and photos, but storing HD films and TV or large files will fill it up fast. The widely circulated free 1TB is actually temporary promotional space triggered by saving someone else's shared link to your drive, and most of it is reclaimed after about 30-90 days, so it isn't permanent. For long-term large space, consider SVIP (6TB). For important files, we recommend local multi-platform backups.

Quark membership payment usually goes through Alipay or WeChat Pay, which generally require a Chinese bank card and real-name verification, so overseas credit cards are often rejected. Workable options: use Alipay or WeChat Pay linked to a mainland bank card, ask a mainland relative or friend to pay on your behalf, or buy a redemption card through channels like Taobao. Note that payment is only needed to upgrade to membership and isn't required for registration or basic use; you can still use the free 10GB just fine. The specific overseas payment channels aren't covered in our source material and would need to be confirmed through real-world testing.

Quark membership payment mainly goes through Alipay or WeChat Pay, which usually require a real-name-verified Chinese bank card. Without Alipay, you might consider asking a mainland relative or friend to pay on your behalf, or buying a membership redemption card or top-up service through channels like Taobao. To emphasize: paying for membership is only for the larger space and high-speed channel, and doesn't affect registration or normal use of the free 10GB, so overseas Chinese can use it for free first. The specific top-up channels aren't directly covered in our source material; please verify their safety through real-world testing before using them.

Speed throttling on downloads for new Quark Drive accounts is common. Authoritative media testing shows that free/new accounts get only about 650KB/s-700KB/s on a 100Mbps connection, so a 1GB file takes 30-40 minutes; after activating SVIP and using the dedicated channel, it's about 11MB/s, more than ten times faster. Officially they call it network congestion at peak times rather than throttling, but in real-world tests, free accounts are clearly slow. Overseas it's even slower with cross-border connection issues added on top, so you can use a back-to-China accelerator or activate SVIP to improve things.

Saving resources to your drive on Quark Drive is simple: open the share link someone sent you to go to the share page, select the files you want, and tap Save to drive, and they'll be saved to your own account, after which you can download or preview them online anytime. The first time overseas Chinese enter, if the network is slow, saving large files may take a bit longer; a back-to-China accelerator will make it smoother. A reminder: sensitive overseas content such as films and TV may be purged and deleted, so don't rely on saving-to-drive alone for important files; be sure to keep local backups.

Just open the share link the other person gave you directly in the Quark Drive app or web version where you're already logged in (some require entering an extraction code), and you'll see the shared content. Then tap Save to drive to save it to your own account, or download it directly. If it loads slowly when opened overseas, that's usually related to the cross-border network, which you can improve with a back-to-China accelerator. Note that Quark strictly reviews overseas content such as films and TV, so some share links may become invalid due to purges. That's the platform's policy, not a problem with your actions.

Quark membership payment mainly goes through Alipay or WeChat Pay, which usually require a Chinese bank card and real-name verification, so a pure Hong Kong credit card is often rejected. Workable options for Hong Kong users: use Alipay or WeChat Pay linked to a mainland bank card, ask a mainland relative or friend to pay on your behalf, or buy a membership redemption card through channels like Taobao. One reminder: upgrading to membership is only for the larger space and high-speed downloads, and doesn't affect registration or basic use of the free 10GB. The specific Hong Kong payment channels aren't covered in our source material; please confirm through real-world testing before using them.

System is busy is most likely due to an unstable cross-border network or temporary congestion in the verification service; a direct overseas connection to Quark (whose servers are inside China) is prone to timing out. We recommend switching to a more stable network or connecting to a back-to-China accelerator and trying again after a while. More reliably, just go through the official WeChat login to bypass the phone-number registration step; simply scan to authorize with your overseas WeChat. If it happens repeatedly, go by how the latest version of the official app behaves; this point isn't directly covered in our source material and would need to be confirmed through real-world testing.

For overseas Chinese, the most reliable option for Quark Drive is WeChat login, not a phone number or email. Native phone-number registration requires a mainland number to receive the verification code, which an overseas number can't get. As for email registration, although some websites claim it works, no real-world tutorial can reproduce the successful steps, and the official entry points and all reliable tutorials go through WeChat or phone number, so the email-registration claim is unreliable. Conclusion: using overseas WeChat scan-to-login is the most reliable, needs no mainland number, and gives you 10GB upon registration.

Not finding it is a regional listing restriction, not a ban. For Android, the most direct way: search for Quark in a third-party app market like APKPure and download the installer to get around it. For iPhone, you need a China-region Apple ID to download the Quark app from the App Store. Once installed, overseas Chinese can use WeChat login to get in without a mainland phone number. Be sure to get the installer from a trustworthy source to avoid viruses.

Quark's apps are mainly listed on the China-region App Store and require a China-region Apple ID to download, with some versions also available in the Hong Kong region. You can register a new China-region Apple ID, but cross-region you may be asked to enter a mainland address/phone, which is rather troublesome. The easier approach is to switch to Android and install the apk directly using the third-party APKPure market. Once installed, overseas Chinese can use WeChat login to get in without a mainland phone number. The specific steps for registering a China-region Apple ID aren't covered in our source material and would need to be confirmed through real-world testing.

You don't necessarily need a mainland phone number. The official native registration uses a 'phone number verification code,' but it's only open to mainland-China phone numbers, and overseas numbers won't receive the code. The most reliable method for overseas Chinese users is to bypass it via WeChat QR-code login: first register a WeChat account with a Taiwan or overseas phone number, then go to the Quark web version or app, choose 'WeChat login' to bring up the QR code, scan it with WeChat's '+', choose 'Scan,' aim at the code, and tap 'Allow authorization' to get in; if a 'bind phone number' prompt appears, you can simply ignore it without binding. After registering, you get the same free 10GB.

We suggest you not count on email registration. Although some sites claim Quark supports email registration, such claims are mostly generic marketing content, and no hands-on tutorial has ever provided successful steps for email registration; the official login entry and all hands-on tutorials use either a 'phone number verification code' or 'WeChat/QQ third-party authorization.' The more reliable approach for overseas users is to use WeChat QR-code login to bypass the mainland phone number and get 10GB upon registering, which is more practical than agonizing over email registration.

Yes, WeChat login is the most recommended method for overseas Chinese users. Quark officially supports WeChat-authorized login, and overseas users can first register a WeChat account with a Taiwan or overseas phone number, then go to the Quark web version or app, choose 'WeChat login,' scan the QR code with WeChat and tap 'Allow authorization' to get in, with no mainland phone number needed. After logging in, if a 'bind phone number' prompt appears, you can ignore it without binding. Note: there's scattered feedback that WeChat itself may also require a mainland number; this claim isn't fully verified and may change with versions, so go by the latest community posts.

Open the Quark Drive web version in your computer browser and choose 'WeChat login,' which brings up a QR code. Open WeChat on your phone, tap the '+' in the top-right corner, choose 'Scan,' aim at the QR code on your computer screen, and after scanning be sure to tap 'Allow authorization' to log in on the computer. If a 'bind phone number' prompt appears afterward, you can simply ignore it without binding; it won't affect your use.

The information doesn't clearly state the limits on having multiple devices online at the same time, so this should be confirmed in the app and verified through hands-on testing. What is certain is that the same account's data is shared across devices: when you log in to the same Quark account on an iPhone and an Android phone, you see the same drive space (sharing the free 10GB). Note that downloading the app on iOS requires an Apple ID for the corresponding region (it's mainly listed in the China region), while on Android you can install it directly via third-party markets like APKPure.
