How to download from Baidu Pan without a Baidu account
A friend, a forum post or a project page gave you a Baidu Pan (Baidu Netdisk) link that starts with pan.baidu.com. The page opens, but the download button wants a Baidu login, and Baidu only gives accounts to phone numbers it can text. The way around it: let PanPull fetch the share and download the result in your browser. No Baidu account, no Baidu app and no Chinese are involved.
Have these ready
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Share link | Begins with https://pan.baidu.com/s/ |
| Extraction code | 4 letters or digits. Not every share has one |
| Email address | For your PanPull login and the “ready” message |
The seven steps
- Go to the link checker on panpull.com.
- Paste the link. The code goes into the field beside it. Shortcut: paste the entire message that held the link and the code, and both are found for you.
- Read the quote. It lists how many files the share contains, their combined size and the price. You pay nothing for this check, and nothing at all when the share is 150 MB or smaller.
- Log in to PanPull. New users register with an email address and a password. Baidu is not involved in this login.
- Pay, unless the order is free. PayPal works, and so do debit and credit cards through PayPal.
- Let it work. Close the tab if you want. PanPull emails you a link to a private download page once the files are prepared. Your order page shows that link too.
- Download. One file comes as that file. Several files come packed in a single ZIP with their folders intact.
Details that save trouble
- An order always takes the complete share, with all its files.
- After a paid download is ready, you have 24 hours to fetch it. A free one gives you 1 hour. A broken transfer can be restarted within that time.
- Your Baidu password and your browser cookies are never needed. A site or program that asks for them deserves no trust.
- Stay with files that belong to you or that the owner agreed to share with you.
