Is there a feature to limit the copying speed in TeraCopy? because uploading our files with Teracopy takes most of the bandwidth and this affects our network speed for the other users!!

nil

I don't think TeraCopy offers a rate limiting option. But you might want to look at NetLimiter: https://www.netlimiter.com/

No, TeraCopy does not has this feature, it has been designed having no restrictions in terms of the speed. It will always try to copy files with maximum speed and efficiency. . However, this speed is greatly influenced by the disc activity present in the moment when you copy a large number of files.
On the other hand, this option is available in Gs Richcopy 360 which I used recently, it has an efficient built-in option to set the speed to whatever you want when you need to transfer to local drives, servers, or clouds.
Good luck

Excellent, Gs Richcopy 360 is a straightforward suggestion for my case, my next step is to email them to get a free unlimited trial if available  :)

Teracopy will not do that, and there are many alternatives that can limit the transfer speed like Duplicati, SyncThing, and Gs Richcopy360 which you mentioned!
Now, did Gs Richcopy respond to you?

yes , they responded to me and already provided me with a free unlimited trial (3 weeks) - Gs Richcopy 360 Standard .
It works very well with me

I think this thread is worth bringing up again.
I wanted to solve a similar problem with traffic - whenever I copy files over SMB, my internet gets paralyzed, which is particularly annoying whenever I'm watching live content online.
I remembered hearing about TeraCopy, so I checked it out, thinking such an advanced copying program should have such a feature. I'm surprised it does not. Is the argument that "it's supposed to always copy files the fastest" really that good when the program offers plenty of features that do not pertain to transfer speeds at all?
This feature would be a great addition, especially since the alternative solutions mentioned here are all paid.
