Hi admin! I read your article and it became interesting, because in fact, on Yandex. Disk give free 10 GB disk space, in Google Drive 15 GB, in the popular abroad Dropbox 3 GB, in, and in the Mail.ru Cloud all 100 GB!
Accordingly, you can think about whether it is worth using Yandex Disk, in general? And then I thought about it and decided that even 10GB free from Yandex Disk could come in handy, all the more so for sure "Yasha" would not sit and watch how customers were taken away from him, most likely he would take some steps in the future, for example, he would take and give his users 1TB .
And what do you think, Admin, which of the above clouds is still more convenient to use? It is clear that the size of the mail.ru cloud matters, but still, because Yandex Disk has a very convenient function - Copy the public link!
How to use Yandex Disk
Roman would be your mouth! For example, I have long chosen the Yandex Disk service and adapted it to store all the necessary computer stuff that I might need during the day at work: assemblies of drivers, antiviruses, programs, LiveCDs, free operating systems, and so on, because my portable hard drive is not endless.
But naturally, free 10GB on Yandex Disk was not enough for me and I had to buy an additional 100GB of disk space for 150 rubles per month. But they were not enough as soon as I adapted Yandex Disk for storing backups of the operating system, because in many data backup programs you can configure backup directly into the Yandex Disk cloud and I began to think about 1TB Yandex Disk for 900 rubles a month, but here the Mail.ru cloud appeared with 100GB and I decided to use it for now.
Well, God bless him, with Mail.ru, we have an article about him and who are interested in reading it, today we are talking about Yandex Disk, because many users have long chosen this service from Yandex and are still interested in the intricacies of its work.

Yandex Disk- a service that allows users to store files on their servers. In this article, we will talk about the principle of operation of such storages.
Cloud storages are online storages in which information is stored on servers distributed over the network. There are usually several servers in the cloud. This is due to the need for reliable data storage. If one server "lies", then access to files will remain on the other.
Providers that have their own servers lease disk space to users. At the same time, the provider is engaged in servicing the material base (iron) and other infrastructure. He is also responsible for the safety and security of user information.
The convenience of cloud storage lies in the fact that files can be accessed from any computer that has access to the global network. From here one more advantage follows: simultaneous access to the same storage of several users is possible. This allows you to organize joint (collective) work with documents.
For ordinary users and small organizations, this is one of the few ways to share files over the Internet. There is no need to buy or rent a whole server, it is enough to pay (in our case, take it for free) the necessary amount on the provider's disk.
Interaction with cloud storage is carried out through a web interface (site page), or through a special application. All major cloud center providers have such applications.
When working with the cloud, files can be stored both on the local hard drive and on the provider's drive, or only in the cloud. In the second case, only shortcuts are stored on the user's computer.
Yandex disk works on the same principle as other cloud storages. Therefore, it is quite appropriate to store there backups, current projects, files with passwords (naturally, not in open form). This will allow in case of trouble with local computer save important data in the cloud.
Apart from simple storage files, Yandex Disk allows you to edit office documents(Word, Excel, Power Point), images, play music and video, read PDF documents and view the contents of the archives.
Based on the foregoing, we can assume that cloud storage in general, and Yandex Disk in particular, are a very convenient and reliable tool for working with files on the Internet. It really is. For several years of using Yandex, the author has not lost a single important file and no failures in the work of the provider's website were observed. If you are not using the cloud yet, it is recommended to start doing it urgently 🙂
Novice Internet users may be interested in what Yandex Disk is. Let me explain right away that cloud storage, disk space that is provided to any user with Internet access.
What is Yandex.Disk for?
It helps to store files that are rarely used on personal computer(archives, program images, photographs).
Note! The amount of allocated disk space is usually 10 gigabytes.
Using Yandex Disk often saves valuable data that has been previously duplicated on a computer and in cloud storage.
For example, if operating system does not start as a result of a failure or is broken HDD, the owner of the files can log into his Yandex account and download them to a new device. This forethought saves a lot of time and money.
It remains only to learn how to use Yandex Disk - in order to be able to personally experience all the benefits of the project.
Registering a mailbox
Unfortunately, the creators of the service did not provide for the possibility of using Yandex Disk without mail. Therefore, you must first register a personal box:
Open the site www.yandex.ru and follow the link "", located in the corner of the page.
Enter your first and last name. You can use an invented pseudonym or real personal data, there is no difference.
To install Yandex.Disk, open a Yandex account
- Create a username. It must consist of Latin letters, and also not duplicate the existing one.
- Ask strong password When using storage, it is important to pay attention to security.
- Press the "Register" button and wait for the server to process the request and create an account.
Using Yandex Disk
It is not necessary to use the mailbox, it is only required to enter the cloud storage. It is located in the user tab by the link "Disk", you can also go there by entering the address disk.yandex.ru in the browser line.
The screen will welcome the new user and notify you that you have been given 10 gigabytes of disk space in perpetuity. It can be freely used to save files of various formats.
If the allocated 10GB is not enough for you, there is an opportunity to purchase additional gigabytes of disk space for money.
How to use Yandex Disk for the first time?
When you log in to Yandex.Disk for the first time, we are prompted to download an application for a computer (“Download Disk for Windows”). I think you should not rush to install the application. To begin with, it is better to evaluate all the advantages of the online version. Therefore, we say "thank you" and close the window with the invitation.
Next, go to the main tab "Files". There you can upload or download data, as well as create new directories. To add your first file to the cloud storage, just click on the appropriate button and select it on your computer.
The process of completing the task depends on the size of the file and the connection speed provided by the provider. When the operation is completed, a new item will appear in the main or pre-selected folder.
After that, the received address must be copied to the clipboard and sent to any user. Anyone can download information via a direct link - even if he does not understand what Yandex cloud storage is and how to use it.
Program for Yandex Disk
You can use the storage service not only through the web interface, but also through the official program on your computer. But it is better to do this when you master the online version of the disc.
The Yandex.Disk application is optimized for working with files. While a regular browser often makes mistakes when loading large amounts of information and even automatically closes in the middle of the process.
You can download the application on the site https://disk.yandex.ru/client/disk and install it on a PC for free. Our guide will help you with this:
Go to Yandex Disk and select your operating system from the list provided.
Download the installation image to your hard drive and run it by clicking on it.
Accept the license agreement, wait for the installation, and the program will appear in the registry of your computer.
In the window that opens, enter your email address and password to gain access to your personal file storage.
After that, the main directory with a list of files, as well as folders and partitions, will be displayed. For loading new information, be it an archive, video or image, just drag it with the mouse into the program window and wait for the task to start.
In general, working with storage elements is completely similar to the web interface, except for the increased speed of data processing and high convenience.
feature installed by Yandex The drive on the computer is the integration into the operating system. After installation, the user will see that in the "My Computer" folder appeared new disk. It is on it that the files uploaded to the cloud will be duplicated - for greater security.
If desired, Yandex Disk for Windows can be configured in detail, managing synchronization, the amount of allocated space, and other important aspects. This makes the application flexible, functional and very user friendly.
To configure Yandex.Disk, find the icon in the lower right corner of your computer screen. Click on it to go to the disk settings.
Next, going into the settings, we can designate the folders that will be automatically synchronized. That is, their contents will be automatically duplicated in the Yandex disk cloud. To do this, go to the "synchronization" tab of the disk settings and uncheck the folders that do not need to be synchronized.
Thus, you have learned how to install and use Yandex Disk. Free up your computer's memory and secure your valuable files with this cloud storage service - all while paying cash you will only need it if you want to increase the size of the allocated space. And even a novice computer user can master the cloud. You just need to follow these instructions and have a desire to learn how to work with the service.
Cloud file storage is today almost an integral part of our interactive life among the abundance of numerous digital gadgets.
We create and send documents, capture unforgettable moments of your vacation, share everything we want with friends and family in a matter of seconds.

But, if you still can not wait to get acquainted with all the possibilities as soon as possible, just ignore it.
You will immediately be on home page, where all downloaded files are collected - while this is a standard set that meets each user.
For example, in the "Music" folder there were five tracks from The Jumping Cats - who knows what you will have? There are also several pictures of a different plan and right there a basket where everything can be thrown away as unnecessary.
A little higher - buttons for controlling the main functions - downloading files (you can simply drag them from a folder open on your computer or download it entirely), creating a folder, organizing the downloaded and the view in which it will be most convenient to view the data.
As you can see, on the right upper corner there is up-to-date information on the degree of fullness of cloud storage - the initial maximum is 10 GB. But right next to it is a link that will help you get more space.
This is what the volume expansion system looks like.
Dropbox storage has a similar privilege, although there is a limit of up to 16 GB, these are twenty friends and 512 MB for each - that is, the total amount is 10.24 GB.
Or publish your invitation in any of the used social networks. As a result, not only you will get an advantage, but also the one who registers via the link, and in double volume.
In addition, Yandex constantly offers promotions that allow you to purchase free place- usually associated with affiliate offers.
For example, now you can get 50 GB each if you become a user of a smartphone or tablet on Yandex.Kit (this is the latest operating system, which is the company's own development).
More options - 100 GB per connection tariff plan from Rostelecom OnLime (only for residents of Moscow), 50 GB when buying Smarto 3GDi8 tablets or Kingston flash drives - promotions are constantly updated, but still this is not the most popular way.
You can just buy space - the annual fee for 10 GB is 300 rubles (you can pay 30 rubles a month, but this will mean a small overpayment in the end), for 100 GB the amount is 1500 rubles and for 1 TB - 9000 rubles a year.
You can pay by card or - there is a recurring payment function that can be turned off if you are afraid of online fraud.
Installing the program on a computer
So, if you want the Yandex Disk program to be available at any time and offline, just start using it to the fullest.

To install Yandex Disk in the Downloads folder, find the underlined file and run the program. A message will appear asking permission to make changes - the application will start its work.
So, we click on the coveted “Finish” and begin our journey through the expanses of cloud storage possibilities.
The setup will begin by logging in - enter the login and password that you set when registering in Yandex mail. If you haven't done it yet, now is the time.
To learn all about how Yandex Disk works, sign in and click "Get Started".

How to use Yandex Disk
For those who are not yet familiar with the principle of cloud storage or want to learn about the many features of Yandex Disk, this section will be of particular interest.
The working interface has already been presented a little earlier in an overview version, now we will consider each of the sections individually.
Files. The first question that arises is how to upload a file to Yandex Disk?
For example, you urgently need to send a working document to your colleague - use the quick access panel where you can drag and drop files, or click "select".
In the Explorer window, click on the desired document in Word format and click "Open".
You can continue to upload files if there are too many of them, there is an opportunity to do this through the program for Windows.
At the top - the name, size and date of the last modification, then there is a preview and the "View" button, with which you can once again see the contents online in a separate tab.
This is a repository for all your photo and video files that are in automatic mode begin to boot from any digital media.
A useful program - so you do not have to add documents manually.
Photo from social networks. In order to move photos that you have stored in networks such as Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Google+ and several others, first log in to Yandex Disk, and then select the community icon and log in.
The photo files will start uploading to the storage and will automatically remain in the folder on your computer. In the future, this process will be performed without the need for confirmation each time.
Shared folders. Now that you know how to upload a file to Yandex Disk, you can start using even more features.
We are talking about joint file management (if desired) - this is done in order to simplify communication and receive notifications about what is happening here at any given time.
Click "Create Shared Folder" - you can work with the one you already have or create a new one right away, after you have chosen, select "Make Folder Shared".
You can configure the "Full Access" or "View Only" functions, invite any number of recipients using the address book or by entering email address on one's own.
Everything is simple here - files that are most likely not needed are placed here in a standard way, just like on your Windows desktop.
A few seconds and all unnecessary is already in the Recycle Bin, which you can empty by clicking on the appropriate button, the files are also restored if desired.
mail attachments. This section contains files that are in the letters you receive.
One of the most pleasant features is important to highlight the photo editor, which at first does not catch the eye.
To use it, you need to select the photo you want to change and click on "Edit" in the control box on the right.
Before you - the easiest to manage tool for editing any image in electronic format.
The simplest, because all possible functions are displayed in the top panel, you can also undo operations and work with the scale.
For the rest, just experiment.
This is what the picture looks like before the changes.
Now in more detail about each possibility:
Improve - three functions to choose from: add quality with high resolution; illuminate to enhance the play of light and shadow; fix the color at the discretion of the program.
Interestingly, only one of them can be applied, after which the result is confirmed using the “Finish” button.
IN this case The most successful was the "Illuminate" function.
Effects - there are 25 different options in total, quite an interesting set for those who love working with such filters.
Let's choose the one called "Cruz".
Framework. There are many of them too, of course. simple options but the editor is not professional.
Stickers are a sea of ​​funny pictures that will probably come in handy only to amuse your friends a little.
Rotate - You can display the image in full vertical or horizontal direction, or rotate it by 90 degrees.
Focus - to create a blur effect, this function will come in handy. The shape is optional - not only a circle, but also a rectangle, with which you can horizontally divide parts of the image.
The diameter is selected individually, in general, everything is very fast and does not require any special skills.
Pruning . You have two options - either choose the length and width yourself, or choose the proposed proportions.
Enter numerical values, then click "Fix dimensions" and you can drag the resulting tracing paper around the picture.
Warmth - use to enhance cold or warm tones in the palette of shades.
Brightness is the same, you just need to drag the slider on the scale to adjust the required degree of dark and light tones of the picture.
Contrast. The principle of operation is similar, light and dark tones are enhanced or, conversely, become less pronounced as desired.
Saturation - Turn an image into black and white or give it incredible color.
Sharpness - make the picture blurry with subtle outlines or outline every detail.
Color spot. The original image is transformed into a black and white version, your task is to create color solutions using brushes of different diameters.
The color is chosen the one in the original - it is somewhat reminiscent of the once popular coloring books, which begin to show their colors when the surface of the paper comes into contact with water.
You can create just a few spots, or paint an entire segment without lifting your brush.
Do not forget about the eraser - any inaccuracy is corrected instantly, it may be a little inconvenient that the brushes are presented only in a round format, but this is not critical.
Draw - the principle is similar to the “Color Spot”, but here colors from the entire palette are applied on top of the picture. This is more suitable for those who are at least a little versed in the fine arts.
Text - choose a color, font, enter words and click "Add".
Red eyes - for portraits and eliminating imperfections in a photo, at your service - all the same five brush sizes and the ability to instantly zoom.
Lighter. This is something like retouching, but it allows you to work separately with a shade, does it with brushes with different radii.
Defect . The brushes work with a blur function - not the most elegant way, but it's not photoshop either.
In general, the editor is very convenient and simple in order to slightly correct the tone or create the necessary visual effect.
But there is another feature of working with Yandex Disk - you can take screenshots, and this does not require an additional program.
The commands are not complicated, after you complete one of them, you will be taken to the online screenshot editor, where you can additionally apply several operations.
How it works - for example, you need to take a screenshot of an area, type the command Ctrl + Shift + 1 and use the left mouse button to select the area that you want.
This editor doesn't have an Undo or Delete button, so you'll need the following shortcuts to manage effectively.
I will not post them here - everything is located in a special section at help.yandex.ru/disk/screenshots.xml.
Yandex Disk for iOS and Android
When you have already understood how to use Yandex Disk on your computer, you may want to have it on one of your mobile devices as well.

How to remove Ya.Disk from a computer
If, for example, you need to temporarily clear the memory or some other similar need arises, the question arises - how to remove Yandex Disk from your computer?
As such, uninstalling the program is not provided, because access to the storage and all the data that you use in this case are used by all other applications from Yandex.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Yandex Disk, which will be discussed in this article, has appeared for quite some time, and I actively use it for loading, storage, and for whomever.
The very idea of ​​cloud storage and data synchronization (it was first embodied in a product in 2010) is very promising and finds an increasing number of fans among Internet users.
I haven't tested every cloud product on the market yet, except for Dropbox and , but I'm impressed with Drive's capabilities.
With it, you can upload all your important data to the cloud and store it there for as long as you like.
It will be possible to work on documents located in the cloud in the office, at home, and on the road, having received via disk free access to Microsoft Office Online.
At the same time, everything will be synchronized quickly, and a device breakdown will not lead to the loss of files, duplicates of which were automatically uploaded to Yandex.
In addition, files can be uploaded to Yandex Disk not only for storage, but also for transferring them to your friends, while there will be no time limits on their storage (using the link received, the user will be able to either download files up to 50 GB in size, or view the object you downloaded directly in the cloud storage, or save it on your Disk).
It will be possible to work with this service as through special program for PC or laptop, and, as well as through mobile app. We will talk about all this in detail in the continuation of this publication.
7 reasons to choose Yandex Disk
As I mentioned, there are quite a lot of cloud services. They are all fighting for a share of the same pie (for you and me). Naturally, any navatory solution applied in one sevris is immediately picked up in others. The decisive factors now are convenience, reliability and affordability.
Let's look at what the brainchild of Yandex can offer us so that we want to start using this cloud and even pay for it. Go...
When you install the Drive app on mobile phone or a tablet, you will have the opportunity to activate auto-upload of all photos and videos taken by the camera of your gadget in the Yandex cloud.
By itself, this feature is very convenient and exists in many competitors. But in this case, all photos and videos from a smartphone or tablet can be download unlimited.
What does it mean? Let's say you have those 10 GB that you were given for free immediately after registration. You install the Yandex Disk application on all your mobile gadgets (as well as, for example, on the gadgets of the second half) and activate unlimited auto-download of media files.
All of them will fall into the "Camera" folder in your cloud, but the space they occupy will not be taken into account in your tariff. For example, in the Camera folder, you can store more photos and videos, and at the same time you will have a free plan for only 10 GB.
You can get free GB on disk for promotions and promotional codes
Immediately after registering with the service, you get as much as 10 GB (for free) in your undivided possession. However, in order to popularize the service, promotions are constantly held and promotional codes are distributed to receive additional gigabytes in the Yandex cloud.
You can get from tens to hundreds of GB of storage space for free and forever (no one will take it away from you). There are people who get a quarter or more of a terabyte in this way for free. Here are some examples of past promotions:
How can I find out about an ongoing promotion? Everything is very simple. You register in the Disk and you will receive notifications by mail about the next distribution of free gigs. As you understand, Yandex mail and the cloud are, in fact, one service. So, the older your Mailbox(account), the more free gigs you get - 1 GB per year of existence.
Anyone who is interested can use this link to view this file (if it is a document, video or photo), or download it (to their computer or to their cloud on Yandex). Unlike Dropbox, there are no special restrictions on the number and frequency of downloads (within reasonable limits, of course). At the same time, very large files can be uploaded to the cloud - up to 50 GB.
The cost of purchasing additional space in Yandex Cloud is low
I'm used to keeping cloud service(now it's Dropbox) a lot of things - from passwords to photos from children's albums. It turns out a very large volume and free gigabytes on any cloud drive I miss. Now I have a tariff with 1 Terabyte in Dropbox and I pay for it annually $ 99 (about 7 thousand rubles).
If we consider this service Yandex, then 1 terabyte I will get up in just 2 thousand rubles per year, which is more than three times cheaper.
I'm about to renew my Dropbox subscription and I'm determined to finally move to Yandex - it's very tempting for the price and almost the same in terms of features.
How to create Yandex Disk and enter your page
It's actually very simple, but I'll stick with it anyway. simple things, which new to cloud services are usually not fully understood. Let's summarize:
- The disk is created in the cloud, i.e. on servers () of Yandex. This is the physical area hard drives servers that is allocated to you for storing any files.
- Access to the cloud can be obtained either through the web interface (at disk.yandex.ru), or through special programs for a PC (laptop) or for a mobile device.
- Files from your disk will be accessible from anywhere in the world from any device, unless you lose the password for accessing your Yandex account.
- You can also create a copy of a disk in the cloud on your computer (full or partial). To do this, you will need to install the special Yandex.Disk 3.0 program and mark those folders from the cloud that you want to synchronize with the folder created on your computer (laptop).
- On mobile devices, a copy of the entire Disk is not created - you can only upload the necessary files on the fly, or set up storing some of them in the memory of your device.
- Remember that by deleting something from the Yandex Disk folder on your computer, you are simultaneously deleting it from the cloud. There is always tight synchronization. The reverse is also true - adding something to this folder by synchronization, it will also go to the cloud.
- One "Disk" can be used from several computers and gadgets at once. It is even convenient, because it allows, for example, to exchange files with your "home" ones without sending them by mail. Moreover, for each computer, you can configure the synchronization of only certain directories (not all).
- It is very convenient, in my opinion, to buy a tariff for 1 Terabyte and use the cloud with the whole family. Profitable and convenient. This is not advertising, because there will be no margin from the fact that you buy PRO or do not buy it for me. Yes, think out loud.
So, create Yandex Disk- it's simple in the first place create an account in Yandex(register). If you already have it, then the Disk already exists, you just didn’t know about it or didn’t pay attention. How to check?
Create or just login?
Installation on Windows occurs in a standard way. But free cheese is only found in a mousetrap, so by default the checkboxes are set, suggesting at the same time, make this search engine, and, of course, that the same Runet mirror will be installed.
You are free to uncheck all these checkboxes, but personally I like their browser, and I have been using their search for ten years already. So let them live:
Next, you will be told about this miracle program and the wonderful idea of ​​\u200b\u200bstoring files on Yandex, which allows you to access them from anywhere in the world and synchronize the contents of the cloud and folders on your computer, as well as share some of the files for public or private access.
Auto upload photos and videos to Yandex.Disk from your phone
This is one of the enticements that allows you to promote the service on the market. The thing is wonderful, In fact.
Turn on auto-upload of photos and videos in the application settings
After you install the Drive app on your mobile device and launch it for the first time, you will immediately be informed about this function and offered to activate it (either only when connected via Wi-Fi, or with any type of Internet connection):
There is nothing new in this. Dropbox has been syncing photos and videos from your phone with its storage for many years. But the trick is that in Dropbox these files eat up the disk space allocated to you, and in Yandex they seem to do not count. Even if you throw terabytes from your phone, this will not affect the size of the space allocated to you.
Synchronization itself goes to background starting from the moment the application is launched on a mobile phone:
True, if you set a restriction in the settings to transfer photos and videos only when connected to the Internet exclusively via Wi-Fi, then media will not be drained with a normal Internet connection (Yandex takes care of your paid traffic).
P.S. When the battery is low, the synchronization process is slowed down. Just connect the device to the charger and everything will start uploading to the cloud again. It's the same with Dropbox.
These and others autoload options available in your app settings (gear in the top left corner on iPhone):
At all Yandex Disk mobile application very similar to what I'm used to in Dropbox, and this is a huge plus for me. The same four tabs at the bottom and almost the same settings available by clicking on the gear icon:
In addition to the unlimited autoload settings, here you can also see the remaining free space in the cloud, as well as put a password on the application itself (in order to avoid, so to speak). I just did the latter, as I plan to keep valuable information in this repository:
Mobile photos and videos from Yandex.Disk on your computer
Now let's see where to find these automatically downloaded image and video files from the phone to the cloud. Logically, in the cloud storage they should be in the “Camera” folder, but only an invitation to install the program on a PC lives there (it’s not clear why this is so?).
In general, you will find all the photos from your mobile in the "Photos" and "Recent" folders on the cloud. But that is not all. For example, it is very convenient for me to take pictures and screenshots on my mobile, and then automatically open them on a computer through a cloud service. I got used to it in Dropbox and I don’t want to wean it.
But here there are no problems. Yandex Disk perfectly knows how to synchronize everything merged with mobile gadgets with a specially created on your computer folder "Photos and videos from Yandex.Disk". Another thing is that this option is not enabled by default and it will need to be activated, along the way choosing the storage location for all this mobile junk.
To do this, click on the program icon in the tray right click mouse and select "Settings". Go to last tab and check the box "Copy photos and videos to your computer so they are at hand."
As soon as you check this box, you will be asked in a separate window select folder location(catalog) where all this stuff will be automatically loaded. Moreover, this folder should not at all be located inside the YandexDisk folder created during the installation of the program. Choose a location based on available computer space or other criteria.
When you click "OK" and "Apply", you will be asked if you want to immediately download the video and photo files already in the cloud that got there from your mobile gadgets.
Agree and the process will begin, and in the future you won’t have to worry about anything - the download of new media files will occur automatically.
How to use the Yandex.Disk program
However, we digress a little, because we were installing the Y.Disk application on our computer (or laptop). Before you start uploading your files to Yandex, you will need to log in (log in with your username and password).
Sharing files and folders via YandexDisk
All files uploaded to the cloud from the Yandex Disk folder you can make it public. Not even like that.
Any file or folder on your computer you can make it public. What does it mean? Well, you can send someone a link in an email, so here, they say, look at our vacation pictures. The opponent will receive this link and, by clicking on it, will calmly look at the photos (or any other files) shared by you in this way.
In fact, this will turn out to be an analogue of a file hosting service, but only without any restrictions on storage time.
In order to make any file on your PC public (even the one that is not in the YandexDisk folder), you just need to right-click on it and select from context menu paragraph "Copy the link on Yandex.Disk".
Immediately after that, in the lower left corner of the screen, you will see a message stating that the link to this file or folder has been copied to the clipboard and you can safely send it by mail, post it on a forum or on a social network.
It is noteworthy that so you can share not only files already in the Yandex Disk folder, but also any other files on your computer. As soon as you do this, they will automatically be uploaded to the cloud storage (the program icon in the tray will turn blue during the download), and you will receive a link that you can send to your friend, publish on the site, or do something else with it.
For example, this is what the page your opponent (to whom you sent the link to) will look like if you shared an entire folder of photos with him. He can view them right here (in the format of a photo gallery), and then, if he wants, he can download them to his computer (in one archive), or upload them to his cloud on Yandex disk.
This is how the presentation file that you made public may look like (again, it can be viewed or downloaded directly in the cloud).
Right click on the desired folder and select "Set up access"(see previous screenshot). I’ll warn you right away - don’t be scared if you see a whole list of people marked “Full Access” there (I was scared at first). It's just that Yandex pulls your contacts from the mail, and these are just preparations for sending an invitation and they have not yet been granted any access.
You must first send this person an invitation, after specifying what level of access you will grant him: Full (the ability to edit and delete) or View only. An invitation can be sent to any person - if only he had an Email. He will receive a similar letter to this very Email:
If this person has an account in Yandex, then after clicking on the link, he will automatically go to his Disk, accept the invitation and see there the folder that he was offered in sharing. If there is no account, then first you will have to create it, and only then, by clicking on this link, he will see the treasured daddy. Or will he not see?
He won't see until he presses the button "Accept invitation" on the left menu tab General access". After that, the shared folder can be searched on the "Files" tab of the same left menu.
Everything, all that remains is to transfer office files there for collaboration or create them using the built-in Disk tools and save them in this shared folder. Voila.
What can be done by entering your page in Yandex Disk
Well, in general, it will be possible, without installing the Yandex Disk program, to upload files through your mail interface. When you enter it, you will see the "Disk" tab at the top. Actually, that's how I found out about this cloud service - I received an email with a link, by clicking on which I was tied up to try this miracle in action.
By clicking on this tab, you will get all the same options for managing your files in the cloud (uploading, storage accounting, moving, etc.) as when using a stationary program.
Even a little more - it becomes possible to contemplate the basket that takes place, as well as view objects that are in the public domain:
Files stored in the cloud, which are marked with black circles on the right, are published, i.e. available for download by everyone who knows the download link (personally, I often use Ya.Disk to upload files to it that need to be transferred to someone).
You can change the access status, as I already mentioned, using the context menu of a file or folder, called by right-clicking on the mouse. You can view a list of all shared files on the Sharing tab.
And the most delicious feature, which is available only in the Yandex cloud web interface, is, of course, the ability to view document versions and the ability to restore from one of these versions. For example, when editing a text file, you could inadvertently change (delete) something, and then save the file without noticing.
But if you have it stored (synchronized) in the cloud, then it's okay. Just go to disk.yandex.ru, go to the "Files" or "Last" tab, find this file and right-click on it. From the menu that opens, select "Change History".
In the window that opens, you will see all versions given file for the last two weeks (on a paid plan, changes will be stored for three months). Find the version you need using the date or simply by opening all of them in a row, and then restore it. All.
Go ahead. Depending on their type, many of the files uploaded and stored in Yandex can not only be downloaded, but also viewed through the web interface. These are primarily text and Word documents, pictures, music files, and something else.
All the basic tools to upload, create, delete and download files are in plain sight. When downloading via the web interface, you will see 10 gigabyte limit, which is due to the imperfection of some browsers. To upload larger objects, you will have to use a desktop program that can pull up files weighing up to 50 GB.
Uploading files to this cloud is easy. dragging them with the mouse directly to the Yandex.Disk page opened in the browser, or by traditional digging into the bowels of your computer through the "Download" button in the upper left corner of the Yandex.Disk web interface.
In the download dialog, you can immediately make this object public and immediately copy the link to it.
Yandex cloud in your pocket
The interface of the mobile versions of Yandex Disk is very similar to the Dropbox I have already described (the link to the article is at the beginning of this publication). Application version for iOS (iPad and iPhone) can be downloaded and Android — .
You can just use your smartphone:
Just put your phone in photo mode and bring it to the screen - the phone itself will prompt you to follow the link:
I use Yandex disk on my Iphone SE and find it quite convenient (although I also work with Dropbox in parallel, because one does not interfere with the other). When you first enter this application, you will immediately be prompted to activate autoloading and storage of photos and videos captured on the gadget in a folder (unlimited) specially created in this cloud. I have already written about this in detail and will not repeat myself.
If you initially rejected autoload, and now change your mind, then this option can be activated in application settings(gear in the upper left corner).
There you can also choose when to upload new photos and videos from Ipad to the Yandex cloud - when working over Wi-Fi or always:
General interface mobile version The YandexDisk program is very simple and straightforward:
Most of the files that are stored on Yandex, this mobile application will allow you to view, and what does not work, you can try to open in a specialized application on your tablet or smartphone.
To the right of files and folders, you can see various icons. The chain means that you have made this file or directory public (created a link to it and possibly shared it with someone). airplane icon means "Offline mode", i.e. this file or folder is not only in the cloud and on your gadget (in its memory).
In general, it is very convenient and significantly saves traffic. Let's say you connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi at home and calmly upload movies, photos, books, etc. to the Yandex cloud. rubbish. Then open Drive on your phone and make each of these files available offline:
For this, it is enough slide your finger over the file from left to right (or vice versa), and in the menu that opens, select the airplane icon. All files marked in this way will be immediately physically downloaded to your phone (free of charge). home wifi, mind you). Everyone, to work, consider that you are prepared.
Conveniently, all offline (already uploaded to the phone memory) files can be found on a separate tab of this wonderful application:
Naturally, you can upload files from your gadget to the cloud (the button in the form of a blue plus is used for this), but there is not much point in this if you have media auto-upload enabled. In general, Yandex Disk, in my opinion, can be a convenient way not only to store, but also to transfer files (photos, shot videos, etc.) from a smartphone to desktop computer or laptop.
And, conversely, the transfer of various text files, or a video on a smartphone so that there is something to do on the way to work (after all, at home you can also download via Wi-Fi without bothering with traffic).
Total
I like everything so far and I have a week left to decide on moving from Dropbox to Yandex Disk. Why am I thinking of moving? Banal bullshit. Why pay three and a half times more for the same service.
See for yourself:
- In Ya.Disk now there is also storage of file versions (change history).
- For the same Terabyte they ask for much less.
- The mobile application is very similar both externally and functionally.
- Media files from gadgets are loaded automatically, and even without taking into account their weight (a cool lure, in fact).
- The YandexDisk desktop program, although not familiar, is quite functional and does exactly what I need.
Why am I hesitating? Trite Dropbox I checked for years of constant use, but I still use Yandex Disk not so intensively and therefore I am afraid that some pitfalls may pop up during the transition.
Therefore, I ask for advice from those who have been using this cloud for a long time. What do you think?
Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog pages site
