Xunlei (迅雷) opens public beta for Guangya Cloud Drive (光鸭云盘); promises 2TB free and “no‑login” downloads

Product launch and lead claim

Xunlei (迅雷) has kicked off public beta recruitment for a new cloud-storage product, Guangya Cloud Drive (光鸭云盘). It has been reported that new registrants receive 2TB of free storage and that paid members can expand capacity up to 500TB. The service is provided by a Xunlei wholly owned “grand‑child” company, Shenzhen Guangshan Cloud Technology Co. (深圳市光闪云科技有限公司), which, it has been reported, was established in 2025.

Features and technical pitch

The product’s marketing emphasizes a handful of headline features: reportedly “no login required” for small-file downloads and “no speed limits” for direct‑link transfers. Guangya Cloud Drive is said to support 100GB single‑file uploads, batch transfer of up to one million files, and one‑click downloads for shared files under 100MB. It also claims support for multiple link protocols — magnet, ed2k, Thunder, HTTP/HTTPS — bulk cloud additions, and an open direct‑connect API for third‑party apps, including poster‑info scraping.

Playback, platforms and beta terms

On the media side, Guangya Cloud Drive reportedly supports 4K native playback, up to 5× playback speed, embedded and external subtitles, and audio‑track switching. Service endpoints cover web, mobile, Windows and macOS clients, though the current public beta is limited to web and Android, and the recruitment is for a non‑deleted test so user data will be retained after the trial; VIP internal testers will be randomly selected from registrants to unlock all features early.

Context: trust, regulation and market positioning

No‑login, unlimited‑speed claims will raise immediate questions in China’s tightly regulated cloud market. How will “no‑login” sharing square with data‑security, content‑monitoring and user‑identification rules that Chinese authorities enforce? And will users trust a throwaway promise of unfettered access given Xunlei’s history as a P2P download specialist? Reportedly these are marketing points intended to win users frustrated by throttling and tiered storage elsewhere, but the assertions come from Xunlei’s materials and remain to be independently verified.
