Telegram to Cloud — Auto-Backup to Any Cloud Storage

Forward any media from a Telegram chat to the TubeDisk bot — and the file auto-saves to whichever cloud you connected. Google Drive, Dropbox, or any S3-compatible storage (AWS, MinIO, Backblaze, Wasabi). Videos, photos, voice notes, documents, channel media.

One bot, many clouds

Telegram is the messenger where work files actually live. But Telegram itself is not a backup tool — old chats bury media, account suspensions take everything with them. The fix is moving media to real cloud storage. The friction is: «which cloud?» Different teams use different ones; different workflows benefit from different ones.

TubeDisk's Telegram bot writes to any of them. Connect your preferred cloud once, forward media to the bot, files land. Switch destinations in dashboard settings if your workflow changes.

Supported destinations

Google Drive — solo creators, small teams, G-Workspace integration.
Dropbox — SMM agencies, shared team folders, version history.
— RU-region users, ruble pricing, fast CDN in Russia/CIS.
S3-compatible — technical workflows, custom retention policies, programmatic access. AWS S3, MinIO (self-hosted), Backblaze B2 (cheap cold storage), Wasabi (no egress fees).

How it works (3 steps)

1. Connect one or more clouds

OAuth for Drive / / Dropbox. For S3, enter bucket + access keys (read-write to a single bucket — we recommend a dedicated bucket for isolation). Multiple destinations per account is fine.

2. Start a chat with the bot, link your account

Find the bot in Telegram, send /start, paste the verification code from your TubeDisk dashboard. One-time setup.

3. Forward media — it auto-saves

Pick default destination in dashboard, or use the bot's command to switch on the fly. Forward → bot replies with confirmation + link to the saved file in your cloud.

What the bot handles

Videos and video-notes — original quality (Telegram doesn't re-compress; we don't add a second pass).
Photos — max resolution from available Telegram sizes.
Voice notes and audio — .ogg/.mp3/.m4a with sensible filenames.
Documents and PDFs — any file type.
Channel media you have access to — forward from any channel, lands in cloud.
Album / media-group forwards — all items uploaded together.

What the bot doesn't do

The bot ignores URLs. Pasting a YouTube link to the bot does nothing — URLs go through the TubeDisk web dashboard.
No proactive channel scraping. Bot processes only what you actively forward; doesn't watch channels you're not forwarding from (Telegram-API restriction).
Can't bypass restricted forwarding. If channel owner disabled forwarding, Telegram blocks at protocol level.
File size capped at ~2 GB per file (via our self-hosted Bot API server — better than the 20 MB standard limit but not unlimited).

Why TubeDisk's bot over alternatives

Paid SaaS, not ad-funded. No promotional messages in the bot, no upsell spam, no analytics on your forwarded content.
Cloud choice. Many «save to Drive» bots are Drive-only. We support 4 destination types and can switch any time.
Reliable backend. Self-hosted Bot API server handles larger files (up to ~2 GB), better than free bots stuck on 20 MB standard API.
Privacy. We process the forward, write to your cloud, log minimal metadata. No content scanning, no resale of your media patterns.

Pricing

Free tier: limited daily transfers. Pro tier (from $2.99/month): higher limits, file sizes up to 2 GB, priority queue. See pricing.

Accepted: Telegram Stars, USDT (TRC-20), bank cards.

FAQ

Will Telegram suspend me?

No. Forwarding to a bot is a normal Telegram action and follows Bot API ToS.

Can I forward to multiple clouds at once (mirror)?

Currently a single destination per session. «Mirror to multiple clouds» (e.g., Drive + S3 simultaneously) is on the roadmap.

What happens if I forward a channel post with restricted forwarding?

Telegram itself blocks the forward attempt — you'll see the standard «this content can't be forwarded» error. We can't bypass that. The restriction is enforced at the Telegram protocol level.

Is content encrypted in transit?

Yes. Telegram → our server uses Telegram's transport TLS. Our server → your cloud uses HTTPS / cloud-provider OAuth flows. Stored files inherit your cloud provider's encryption-at-rest policy.

Can I see a log of what was uploaded?

Yes. The TubeDisk dashboard shows your upload history per destination, filtered by date / file type. You can also re-trigger failed transfers from the same view.
