Weiyun Taiwan Usage Guide: Registration, Download, Storage Management Complete Guide [2026]

Looking for a free cloud drive to backup files, but running out of Google Drive space?

Tencent Weiyun might be an option.

This article helps you understand Weiyun's features, how to use it in Taiwan, and how it compares to other cloud storage services.

What is Tencent Weiyun?

Tencent Weiyun is a personal cloud storage service launched by Tencent.

Simply put, it's the Chinese version of Google Drive or Dropbox.

Basic Information

Weiyun vs Tencent Cloud

These are different products:

• Tencent Weiyun: Personal cloud storage (similar to Google Drive)
• Tencent Cloud: Enterprise cloud services (similar to AWS)

Weiyun is for regular users to store files, not enterprise-grade cloud services. If you need enterprise cloud services, see Tencent Cloud Complete Guide.

Can Weiyun Be Used in Taiwan?

Yes, but with some limitations.

Registration Methods

Weiyun accepts QQ and WeChat logins only — those are the only two entry points on the official homepage.

Up front: Tencent does not publish which country codes QQ registration accepts, and reports from Taiwan numbers go both ways. This article cannot promise a Taiwan number will pass verification — and if it doesn't, nothing below works. Confirm you can actually get an account before reading on.

Usage Limitations

1. Interface Language: Mainly Simplified Chinese
2. Customer Support: China-based support, communication may be inconvenient
3. Regulations: Chinese internet regulations apply
4. Speed: Connection speed from Taiwan is average

Recommendations

If you:

• Mainly share files with friends/colleagues in China → Can use
• Already have QQ or WeChat account → Convenient to use
• Need extra free storage space → Can use as backup

If you:

• Need Traditional Chinese interface → Other options are better
• Have privacy concerns → Consider other platforms
• Mainly store sensitive data → Not recommended

Registration and Login Tutorial

Preparation

Don't have a QQ account yet?

1. Download QQ (mobile version)
2. Register with phone number
3. Whether a Taiwan number works is not guaranteed: Tencent publishes no list of supported country codes, and the outcome varies with your carrier and Tencent's fraud controls at the time. If the SMS never arrives or the number is flagged as unsafe, there is no alternative route

There's a login button in the top right corner.

Storage and Plans

Free Storage

New users get 5GB free storage (checked 2026-08-30 on the official membership page: non-members get 5GB; the old 10GB allowance has been cut).

Can increase free storage by:

• Daily login check-in
• Completing beginner tasks
• Participating in events

Paid Plans

Capacities from the official Weiyun membership page (checked 2026-08-30). Weiyun's sign-up page is rendered dynamically and the membership page publishes entitlements and capacity but no fixed price, so this article does not print a price — check the official checkout screen.

Member Benefits:

• More storage space
• Faster upload/download speed
• Longer recycle bin retention
• More version history

Comparison with Other Platforms

Observations:

• Free storage: Google Drive (15GB) > Weiyun and OneDrive (5GB each) > Dropbox (2GB). Aliyun Drive's current free allowance has no verifiable official figure, so it is left out of the ranking
• Paid comparison: neither Weiyun nor Aliyun Drive publishes a verifiable fixed price, so they aren't on the same ruler as the other three — no value ranking here. Check each vendor's current plan page yourself

Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive rows were verified against official pages on 2026-08-30; Weiyun capacities come from the official membership page; Aliyun Drive publishes no verifiable free allowance or list price.

Weiyun vs Google Drive

Conclusion: For Taiwan users, Google Drive is more convenient.

Weiyun vs Dropbox

Conclusion: Weiyun gives more free space (5GB vs 2GB); on paid plans Dropbox has more features and a price you can actually look up.
