How to Supercharge Baidu Cloud Downloads with BaiduPCS-Go and BaiduPCS-Web

Overview

BaiduPCS-Go is an open‑source, cross‑platform command‑line client that provides Linux‑style file‑system commands for Baidu Cloud (Baidu Netdisk). It enables parallel download, resume, large‑file upload and offline download, helping users bypass the speed‑limiting restrictions of the official client.

Key Features

Supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

Multiple Baidu accounts can be logged in simultaneously.

Wildcard path matching and tab‑completion for commands and remote paths.

Download single files or entire directories with resume and parallel streams.

Upload files larger than 2 GB and whole directories.

Offline download of HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/eMule/magnet links.

Installation on Windows

1. Download the Windows ZIP package from the GitHub releases page:

https://github.com/iikira/BaiduPCS-Go/releases

2. Extract the archive.

3. Open a Command Prompt in the extracted folder and run the executable. Typical commands:

cd path\to\BaiduPCS-Go</code>
<code>chmod a+x BaiduPCS-Go</code>
<code>./BaiduPCS-Go

The program automatically launches the default browser and opens the BaiduPCS‑Go web UI.

Installation on macOS / Linux

1. Download the appropriate archive from the same releases page.

2. Extract the archive.

3. Grant execution permission and start the binary:

cd /path/to/BaiduPCS-Go</code>
<code>chmod a+x BaiduPCS-Go</code>
<code>./BaiduPCS-Go

On macOS/Linux the web UI is also opened in the default browser.

Basic Usage

After starting the program, type help to list all commands. Common commands include:

# Log in with a Baidu account (will open a browser for OAuth)</code>
<code>login</code>
<code># List remote files</code>
<code>ls /</code>
<code># Download a file with 4 parallel streams</code>
<code>download -p 4 /remote/path/file.txt</code>
<code># Upload a local file (supports >2 GB)</code>
<code>upload /local/path/bigfile.iso /remote/path/</code>
<code># Add an offline download task (e.g., magnet link)</code>
<code>offlinedownload "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:..."

All commands support wildcard patterns (e.g., *.mp4) and tab‑completion for both local and remote paths.

BaiduPCS-Web

BaiduPCS-Web is a web‑based front‑end that provides the same functionality through a graphical interface. Repository:

https://github.com/liuzhuoling2011/baidupcs-web

Download the release package from:

https://github.com/liuzhuoling2011/baidupcs-web/releases

After extraction:

Windows – double‑click the executable; the default browser opens the web UI.

macOS / Linux – grant execution permission and run:

cd /path/to/baidupcs-web</code>
<code>chmod a+x BaiduPCS-Web</code>
<code>./BaiduPCS-Web

Login uses a standard Baidu Cloud account; third‑party accounts must provide a BDUSS token. Users report noticeably faster download speeds compared with the official Baidu client.
