DESCRIPTION

When I analyzed terabox.com, there were two buttons above the fold: Get Started and Download. I typically see two buttons; however, the Download one was unusual and puzzling, as I hadn’t seen it before nor did I understand what they meant by it. I recommend making it lear when you mean when you say for users to download something on terabox.com because most users are expecting to sign up for a cloud service rather than downloading something to their computers. 2/24/2025
