How to open another person's Yandex disk. Yandex has launched an online editor for office documents and what do I think about this? How to manage files using Drive

Hi all! Cloud storage is a convenient tool that allows you to store your files on the Internet without taking up space on your computer, access them from any computer or other device, share them with other people, create documents online (Word, Excel, Power Point presentations), etc. .d. One of these tools is Yandex.Disk, which is available to owners of Yandex mailboxes.

By the way, earlier I already talked about something else for mailbox users. In any case, you can use both storages at the same time, or even have several accounts (mailboxes) in each, thereby getting even more space to store your files on the Internet.

This article and video tutorial will talk about using Yandex.Disk online (via the web interface). Since, there is also an application that is installed on the computer and synchronized with the online disk. The point is that a separate Yandex.Disk folder is created on your computer, into which you can drag files on your computer and they will immediately become available in the cloud. This is especially convenient for large files, over 2 GB, which cannot be uploaded to the cloud via the web interface.

Personally, I turned off synchronization, because then all the files in the cloud take up space on the computer. And my goal is to free up this space. :) Alternatively, you can turn it on while transferring large files, and then turn it off again and empty the Y.Disk folder on the computer. Although now there is already a beta (experimental) version of the program - Yandex.Disk 2.0, which allows you not to take up space on your computer. But I haven't tested it yet.

So, what exactly are we going to look at?

1. How to start using Yandex.Disk.
2. How much space is given in the cloud for free and how to increase it.
3. Let's go through the interface (what, why and why).
4. How to upload files to Yandex.Disk and share them via a link.
5. How to create a folder, Word documents, Excel, Power Point presentation in the cloud.
6. How does sharing a folder work, how to open it to another user.
7. How to move, rename, delete files on Yandex.Disk. Group actions on files.
8. How to download and save files via a link from someone else’s cloud to yours.

Below you can watch my video tutorial on using Yandex.Disk online:

How to start using Yandex.Disk?

You can go to Disk at: disk.yandex.ru. If you already have Yandex.Mail, then you can log into your Disk by entering your email username and password at the top of the page.

If you don’t have mail on Yandex, then you need to click on the “Create Disk” button and, following the prompts, create Mailbox. By doing this, you will create an account for yourself in Yandex, and your login and password will serve to access other service tools - Disk, Direct, Metrica, etc.

In the future, you will be able to access Drive directly from your mailbox; a corresponding tab will appear at the top. Or while it is not there, you need to click on the “More” tab, select “All services” from the list and click “Yandex.Disk” there.

Storage space for your files

New Drive users are given 10 GB of space. This space can be expanded for free or for a fee. At the top right there is an inscription about how much space is on your Disk, click on it to learn how to increase space.

Free by inviting friends - 512 MB are given for 1 person (something like affiliate program). In total, in this way you can expand the Disk by another 10 GB.

Important: 512 MB will be credited to you if a person not only registers an account, but installs the Ya.Disk application.

Yandex can also give away additional space as part of promotions, etc. For example, on the mail’s birthday, that is, when a year has passed since your mailbox was registered.

In addition, additional disk space can be purchased for money:

10 GB – 30 rubles per month.
+100 GB – 80 rubles per month.
+1 TB – 200 rub. per month.

Let's go through the main elements of the Yandex.Disk interface.

All your files that you have uploaded to Disk, as well as created folders and documents are displayed in the center. Just above is a panel with the latest added files, which can be hidden.

You can change the way files are displayed on Disk by clicking on the three corresponding icons - large, medium icons and list. Nearby is the “Arrange” tab, that is, place the files in the appropriate order - alphabetically, by date, by size, type, etc.

On the right is information about busy place on Drive and links to the application for computers and mobile devices. Above there are bell and gear icons. The first displays notifications, and with the help of the second, you can configure which notifications to display - these can be ratings and comments on your publicly accessible files, changes in shared folders, etc.

At the top there is a file upload button and a “Create” button for working with documents. We will consider them separately.

On the left is panel with sections. I’ll tell you briefly about each below.

Files- what we talked about above. All files downloaded and created on Yandex.Disk are displayed here.

Ribbon– your actions on the Disk are displayed here, as well as the actions that you performed on the Disks of other users - that is, you saved something from another Y.Disk, followed a link that was shared with you, information about likes, comments on these links , as well as to your links.

All photos– here you can upload your photos from your computer or mobile devices (by installing the application), as well as import photos from social networks.

Shared folders– this section displays shared folders, we’ll talk about it separately.

Story– here, as well as partly in the feed, the actions you have performed on Disk are displayed.

Basket– contains files that you deleted from Disk. Files from the Recycle Bin can be restored or permanently deleted so that they do not take up space in the cloud.

Camera– photos automatically downloaded from a computer or mobile device are saved here (if installed application Yandex.Disk).

Ya.Pictures– here you can save images that you found through Yandex search.

Mail attachments– all those files that you attached to letters when sending.

Downloads– the folder containing files you saved from other users’ Drives.

How to upload files to Yandex.Disk and open a link to them?

Not large files– documents, videos, pictures, archives with files, etc. you can upload via web interface.

You can do this by clicking on the “Download” button and selecting the file on your computer. If you need to select multiple files, hold down the Ctrl key and use your mouse to mark the ones you want to download.

Or click on the “Show dropzone” icon. This same drop zone will appear into which you can drag and drop files from your computer with your mouse.

If you have a folder with files on your computer that you want to upload entirely to Disk, then first zip it up. Since the web interface does not allow you to upload folders.

Hefty files (in particular, more than 2 GB) are downloaded by synchronizing the application installed on the computer and the cloud.

Also, recently it became possible to leave likes and comments on files via a link. It is available only to those who are authorized in their Yandex account (mail).

How to create documents in the cloud?

On your Yandex.Disk you can create folders, as well as Word, Excel documents and Power Point presentations. Click on the "Create" button and select the document type you need. I won’t show you how to work with these documents (otherwise the article will stretch for kilometers), if you used them on a computer, then the interface in the cloud is similar.

For example, you can move files into the created folders and organize them as you wish.

Shared folders

If you open full access another user to a folder - he will be able not only to view its contents, but also to add his files to it, as well as edit the documents that you added there. In the same way as you, you will be able to edit the documents added by him. That is, this is collaboration on documents in the cloud.

To share a folder, select it with the mouse, the “” button will appear on the right General access" Click on it for further settings.

The invitee will receive a corresponding letter in their mailbox:

And when he follows a link from it, the shared folder will appear on his Drive, and at the top there will be a notification “Accept invitation”. When he clicks “Accept”, he will be able to work with this folder. Let me remind you that the invitation only works for Yandex.Mail owners.

And you will receive a letter stating that the invitation has been accepted.

By selecting this folder with your mouse, you will see the invited participant, and next to his mail there will be a green check mark.

You can block access to the folder at any time by clicking on the “Set up access” button and change the participant status to “No access”.

The user will receive a letter in their mailbox informing them that access to the folder has been closed.

Actions on files and folders in Yandex.Disk

For actions to become available, you need to select the file with the mouse - then the “View” button will appear on the right (you can click and view the inside directly on Disk (but if the archive is too large, it may not open). For a folder, this will be the “Open” button. Also You can open a folder or view a file/archive by double clicking on this element.

There will be three more icons nearby - download, delete to trash and an ellipsis. Clicking on the ellipsis will open several more options - copy, move and rename the file. In addition, you can move files in Drive by simply dragging them with the mouse to the desired folder or to the trash can for deletion.

As for downloading, this can be useful for editing files and archive contents that cannot be changed directly in the cloud. You downloaded, made a replacement on your computer, and then uploaded everything back to Disk with the same name. Then the open link to this material will not change, but the content will simply be replaced. Documents such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint can be edited directly in Drive.

For group actions you just check the box necessary files and folders. If, for example, you need to select all the files on Disk at once, then you check the first one, then hold down the Shift key, the last one - they are all selected, and you can select the desired action.

How to download and save files via a link from someone else's cloud?

If another user shared with you a link to files from their Yandex.Disk, then you can view these files, save them to your Disk (they will be saved in the “Downloads” folder), or download them.

If the files are too large, then it is more convenient and faster to download them through downloaders, for example Download Master. True, when downloading from Disk, the bootloader has its own nuance, as described in.

So, in this article we looked at the main points of working with Yandex.Disk online. For those new to this tool, this is a good tutorial.

Thank you for your attention!

I will be glad to answer your questions in the comments.

Best regards, Victoria Karpova

Yandex.Disk is a cloud service owned by Yandex that allows users to store their data on servers in the cloud and transfer it to other users on the Internet. The advantages of using Yandex disk are obvious:

1) Everything you post on this service will be available from anywhere (where there is Internet) and from any device (laptop, tablet, smartphone);

2) Files and folders on Yandex disk can be easily transferred to another user;

3) Security of data storage. Risk of irretrievable loss of information in the event of a breakdown hard drive\ USB flash drives very big. If you store files on remote server, if the operating system is rearranged or the disk fails, your data will not disappear;

3) Cloud storage will add free space to your physical disk. Further cloud storage can be increased.

How to connect a Yandex drive to a network drive on Windows 8/Windows 8.1

Connecting a Yandex network drive to a network drive on Windows 8/Windows 8.1 is not particularly different from Windows 7. But to avoid problems with creating a Yandex network drive, I will describe how to do this on this operating system.

The first thing you need to do is go to “This PC” in Windows 8.1, this can be done by right-clicking on “ Start" and select " Conductor"or use keyboard shortcut + . After that, on the top panel select "Computer" - "Map network drive".

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Yandex Disk, which will be discussed in this article, has been around for quite some time, and I actively use it for downloading, storing, and whatever else.

The idea itself cloud storage and data synchronization (it was first implemented in the product in 2010) is very promising and is finding an increasing number of fans among Internet users.

I have not yet had time to test all the cloud products on the market, except for Dropbox, and, but I was impressed with the capabilities of Drive.

With it, you can upload all the data that is important to you to the cloud and store it there for as long as you like.

You can work on documents located in the cloud in the office, at home, and on the road, receiving via disk free access To Microsoft Office Online.

In this case, everything will be quickly synchronized, and device failure will not lead to the loss of files, duplicates of which were automatically uploaded to Yandex.

In addition, you can upload files to Yandex Disk not only for storage, but also for transferring them to your friends, and there will be no time restrictions 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).

You can work with this service either through special program for PC or laptop, and also via mobile app. We will talk about all this in detail in the continuation of this publication.

7 reasons to choose Yandex Disk

As I already 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 innovative solution applied in one service 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 would want to start using this cloud and even pay for it. Go...

When you install the Drive app on mobile phone or tablet, you will have the opportunity to activate auto-download for all filmed by camera your gadget photos and videos in the Yandex cloud.

This function itself 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 were provided to you for free immediately after registration. You install the Yandex Disk application on all your mobile gadgets (as well as, for example, on your significant other’s gadgets) 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, the Camera folder can store terabytes of photos and videos, but you will only have a 10 GB free plan.

You can get GB of disk space for free using promotions and promotional codes

Immediately after registering with the service, you receive as much as 10 GB (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 this way for free. Here are examples of past promotions:

How can I find out about an ongoing promotion? Everything is very simple. You register in Drive and you will receive notifications by email about the next distribution of free gigs. As you understand, Yandex mail and the cloud are essentially one service. So, the older your mailbox (account) is, the more free gigs you will receive - 1 GB per year of existence.

Anyone 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, you can upload very large files to the cloud - up to 50 GB.

The cost of purchasing additional space in Yandex Cloud is low

I'm used to storing cloud service(now Dropbox) a lot of things - from passwords to photos from children's albums. It turns out to be a very large volume and free gigabytes on any cloud drive I don't have enough. Now I have a 1 Terabyte tariff in Dropbox and I pay $99 for it annually (about 7 thousand rubles).

If we consider this service Yandex, then 1 terabyte I'll only get up to 2 thousand rubles per year, which is more than three times cheaper.

I’m about to renew my subscription in Dropbox and I’m determined to finally move to Yandex - it’s very tempting in price and almost the same in terms of capabilities.

How to create Yandex Disk and log into your page

It’s actually very simple, but I’ll still focus on simple things that new to cloud services usually remain not fully understood. Let's be brief:

1. The disk is created in the cloud, i.e. on servers () of Yandex. This is the physical area on hard drives servers, which is allocated to you for storing any files.
2. 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.
3. Files from your disk will be accessible from anywhere in the world from any device, unless you lose the password to your Yandex account.
4. You can also create a copy of the 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).
5. On mobile devices, a copy of the entire Disk is not created - you can only upload the necessary files on the fly, or configure the storage of some of them in the memory of your device.
6. Remember that when you delete something from the Yandex Disk folder on your computer, you simultaneously delete it from the cloud. There is always strict synchronization here. The opposite is also true - adding something to this folder through synchronization, it will also end up in the cloud.
7. One “Disk” can be used from several computers and gadgets at once. This is even convenient, because it allows, for example, to exchange files with your “family” without sending them by mail. Moreover, for each computer you can configure synchronization of only certain directories (not all).
8. It is very convenient, in my opinion, to buy a 1 Terabyte tariff and use the cloud with the whole family. Profitable and convenient. This is not an advertisement, because there will be no profit from the fact that you buy or don’t buy the missile defense system. So, thinking out loud.

So, create Yandex Disk- first of all it’s simple create an account in Yandex(register). If you already have it, then you already have the Disk, you just didn’t know about it or didn’t pay attention. How to check?

Create or just log in?

Installation on Windows occurs in the standard way. But free cheese only comes in a mousetrap, so by default there are checkboxes that offer to simultaneously do this search engine, and, of course, the same RuNet mirror will be installed.

You are free to uncheck all these boxes, but personally I like their browser, and I’ve been using their search for ten years now. So let them live:

Next, they will tell you about this wonderful program and the wonderful idea of ​​​​storing files on Yandex, which allows you to access them from anywhere in the world and synchronize the contents of the cloud and the folder on your computer, as well as share some of the files for public or personal 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.

Enable auto-upload of photos and videos in the application settings

After you install the Disk application on your mobile device and launch it for the first time, you will immediately be informed about this function and asked 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 automatically synchronizing photos and videos from your phone with its storage for many years now. But the trick is that in Dropbox these files eat up the disk space allocated to you, but in Yandex they seem to don't count. Even if you throw terabytes from your phone, it will not affect the size of the space allocated to you.

Synchronization itself occurs in background starting from the moment you launch the application on your mobile phone:

True, if you have set a restriction in the settings to transfer photos and video materials only when connected to the Internet exclusively via Wi-Fi, then the draining of multimedia will not begin with a regular Internet connection (Yandex takes care of your paid traffic).

P.S. When the battery charge 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 in Dropbox.

These and others startup options available in your application settings (gear in the upper left corner on iPhone):

At all YandexDisk 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 settings for unlimited startup, here you can also see the remaining free space in the cloud, and also set a password for the application itself (to avoid it, so to speak). I just did the latter, since 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 look for these graphic and video files automatically uploaded to the cloud from your phone. Logically, in cloud storage they should be in the “Camera” folder, but there is only an invitation to install the program on a PC (why is this not clear?).

In general, you will find all the photos from your mobile phone in the “Photos” and “Latest” folders on the cloud. But that is not all. For example, it’s very convenient for me to take pictures and screenshots on my mobile phone, and then automatically open them on my computer through a cloud service. I got used to this in Dropbox and don’t want to get out of the habit.

But there are no problems here. Yandex Disk perfectly knows how to synchronize everything merged with mobile gadgets with a specially created one on your computer folder “Photos and videos from Yandex.Disk”. Another thing is that by default this option is not enabled and you will need to activate it, simultaneously selecting the storage location for all this mobile junk.

To do this, right-click on the program icon in the tray and select "Settings". Go to last tab and check the box “Copy photos and videos to your computer so you have them at hand.”

As soon as you check this box, you will be asked to separate window select folder location(directory), where all this stuff will be automatically downloaded. Moreover, this folder will not have to be located inside the YandexDisk folder created when installing the program. Choose a location based on available space on your computer or other criteria.

When you click “OK” and “Apply”, you will be asked if you want to immediately download the videos and photo files already available 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 - downloading new media files will happen automatically.

How to use the Yandex.Disk program

However, we got a little distracted 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 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 a letter, like, look at our vacation photos. The opponent will receive this link and, by clicking on it, will calmly look at the photos you shared in this way (or any other files).

In fact, this will turn out to be an analogue of a file hosting service, but without any restrictions on storage time.

In order to make any file on your PC public (even one that is not in the YandexDisk folder), you just need to right-click on it and select from context menu paragraph “Copy link to Yandex.Disk”.

Immediately after this, in the lower left corner of the screen you will see a message 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 this way you can share not only the files already in the Yandex Disk folder, but also any others on your computer. As soon as you do this, they will be automatically uploaded to the cloud storage (the program tray shortcut will turn blue during the download), and you will receive a link that you can send to your friend, publish on the website, or do something else with it.

For example, this is what the page your opponent (to whom you sent the link) will look like if you shared an entire folder of photos with him. He can view them right here (in photo gallery format), and then, if desired, he can download them to his computer (in one archive), or upload them to his cloud on Yandex disk.

This is what a presentation file that you have made public might look like (again, you can view it directly in the cloud or download it).

Right click on the desired folder and select the item "Set up access"(see previous screenshot). I’ll warn you right away - don’t be alarmed if you see a whole list of people there marked “Full access” (I was scared at first). It’s just Yandex pulling your contacts from your mail, and these are just blanks for sending an invitation and they have not yet been granted any access.

You must first send an invitation to this person, having previously indicated what level of access you will give 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 same email:

If this person has an account in Yandex, then after clicking on the link, he will automatically go to his Drive, accept the invitation and see there the folder that was offered to him for shared access. If there is no account, then he will first have to create one, and only then, by clicking on this link, he will see the treasured folder. Or won't he see it?

He won't see it until he presses the button. "Accept invitation" on the left menu tab "Sharing". After this, you can search for the shared folder on the “Files” tab of the same left menu.

That's all, 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 you do by logging into your page in Yandex Drive?

Well, in general it will be possible to upload files without installing the Yandex Disk program through your mail interface. When you go into 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, following which I was encouraged to try this miracle in action.

By going to this tab, you will get all the same options for managing your files in the cloud (downloading, storage accounting, moving, etc.) as when using the desktop program.

Even a little more - it becomes possible to see the basket that is taking 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 anyone who knows the download link (personally, I often use Y.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. 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, ability to view document versions and the ability to restore from one of these versions. For example, while editing a text file, you could inadvertently change (erase) something, and then save the file without noticing.

But if it is 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 of this file for the last two weeks (on a paid plan, changes will be stored for three months). Find the required version using the date or simply opening them all in a row, and then restoring it. All.

Go ahead. Depending on their type, many of the files downloaded 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 main tools that allow you 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 imperfections of some browsers. To download larger objects, you will have to use a desktop program that can pull files weighing up to 50 GB.

You can simply upload files to this cloud dragging them with the mouse directly to the Disk page opened in the browser, or by traditional digging into the depths of your computer through the “Download” button in the upper left corner of the Disk web interface.

In the download dialog, you can immediately make this object public and immediately copy a 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 for Android — .

You can simply use your smartphone:

Just switch your phone to 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 auto-download and storage of photos and videos captured on the gadget in a folder specially created in this cloud (unlimited). I have already written about this in detail and will not repeat it.

If you initially rejected startup and have now changed your mind, 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 your iPad to the Yandex cloud - when working via Wi-Fi or always:

Generally the interface mobile version YandexDisk program is very simple and understandable:

This mobile application will allow you to view most of the files stored on Yandex, and you can try to open what doesn’t work in a specialized application on your tablet or smartphone.

To the right of files and folders you can see various icons. A chain means that you have made this file or directory public (created a link to it and possibly shared it with someone). The airplane icon means "Offline mode", i.e. this file or folder is located not only in the cloud and on your gadget (in its memory).

In general, this is very convenient and significantly saves traffic. Let's say you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi at home and you can easily 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 only swipe the file with your finger from left to right (or vice versa), and select the airplane icon in the menu that opens. All files marked in this way will immediately be physically downloaded to your phone (over your free home Wi-Fi, mind you). That's it, consider yourself prepared for work.

Conveniently, all offline (already stored in the phone’s 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 blue plus button is used for this), but there is little point in this if you have multimedia auto-download enabled. In general, Yandex Disk, in my opinion, can become in a convenient way not only storing, but also transferring files (photos, captured videos, etc.) from a smartphone to desktop computer or laptop.

And, conversely, the transfer of various text files, or video on your smartphone, so that you have something to do on the way to work (at home, you can download it via Wi-Fi without bothering with traffic).

Total

I like everything so far and I have a week left to make a decision about moving from Dropbox to Yandex Disk. Why am I thinking of moving? Banal redneck. Why pay three and a half times more for the same service.

See for yourself:

1. Ya.Disk now also stores file versions (change history).
2. For the same terabyte they ask for much less.
3. The mobile application is very similar both in appearance and in functionality.
4. Media files from gadgets are downloaded automatically, and even without taking into account their weight (a cool trick, actually).
5. The desktop program YandexDisk, although not familiar, is quite functional if you look at it and does exactly what I need.

Why am I hesitating? It’s trivial that I’ve tested Dropbox for years of constant use, but I still use Yandex Disk not so intensively and therefore I’m afraid that some pitfalls may emerge 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 pages of the blog site

You can share folders on Drive with friends or colleagues. Once they have access, they will see a copy shared folder on your Disk.

Changes you make to a shared folder (such as renaming or adding a file) will be visible to all participants. Information about the changes will also be displayed in their History.

Full folder access will allow members to edit your files and upload new ones. This way you can work on the same data together.

Note. You can create 50 shared folders and accept invitations to 50 other users' folders.

Folder access

Access rights

When sharing a folder, you can grant the participant the following rights:

View only - permission to view and download files from the shared folder.

In this case, the participant will not be able to change or add files either on the service page or using programs or applications. (The Yandex.Disk program does not synchronize changes that the participant with limited access made it in a shared folder on my computer.)

Full control - permission to upload new files, change files (rename, edit, publish) and delete them.

Access to individual files and folders within a shared folder is not configurable. Members of a folder lose access to a file in a shared folder if the owner or Full Control member deletes the file or moves it to a private folder.

To see who has access to a folder, select the folder and click in the top bar.

In the same window you can:

change access rights;

deny access to participants (a copy of your folder will be deleted from their Drives).

Are other people's folders taking up space on my Disk?

No, a shared folder only takes up space on its owner's Drive. When you accept the invitation, the service will copy the entire folder to your Disk, but the space occupied by the folder will not be taken into account. Therefore, you can accept an invitation to access a folder of any size, regardless of the size of your Disk.

If you run out of space on your Drive, you won't be able to upload files to a shared folder, even if you're not the owner of the folder. For uploading to a shared folder to be available, your Disk must have some free space, despite the fact that the files will not take up space.

How to quickly navigate to a shared folder?

A list of folders that you have opened or accessed can be seen on the page. Each shared folder is marked with an icon.

Actions on shared folders

All members can rename and move the shared folder in their Drive. This does not affect granted or received access rights in any way.

Each participant can refuse access to the shared folder by deleting its copy from their Drive.

A member with View Only access can view and download files from the shared folder.

Note. If you want to, but cannot, edit or delete a file from a shared folder, ask its owner for full access to the folder.

Beginner Internet users may be interested in what Yandex Disk is. Let me explain right away - this is 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 was previously backed up on your computer and in cloud storage.

For example, if the 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 precaution saves a lot of time and money.

All that remains is to learn how to use Yandex Disk - to get the opportunity 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 first need to register a personal mailbox:

Open the website 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 an account on Yandex

• Create a username. It should consist of Latin letters, and also do not duplicate an existing one.
• Set strong password– When using storage, it is important to pay attention to safety.
• Click the “Register” button and wait until the server processes the request and creates an account.

Using Yandex Disk

It is not necessary to use a mailbox; it is only required to log into the cloud storage. It is located in the user tab under the “Disk” link; you can also go there by entering the address disk.yandex.ru in the browser line.

The screen will display a greeting to the new user and a notification that you have been provided with 10 gigabytes of disk space for eternal use. It can be freely used to save files in a wide variety of formats.

If the allocated 10GB is not enough for you, you have the opportunity to purchase additional gigabytes of disk space for money.

How to use Yandex Disk for the first time?

When we first log into Yandex.Disk, we are prompted to download an application for our computer (“Download Disk for Windows”). I think there is no need to 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 invitation window.

Next, go to the main “Files” tab. There you can upload or download data, as well as create new directories. To add your first file to cloud storage, just click on the appropriate button and select it on your computer.

The process of completing the task depends on the file size and the connection speed provided by the provider. When the operation is complete, a new item will appear in the main or preselected folder.

After this, the received address must be copied to the clipboard and forwarded to any user. Anyone can download the 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 official program on the computer. But it’s better to do this when you master the online version of the disc.

In general, working with storage elements is completely similar to the web interface, with the exception of increased data processing speed and high convenience.

Feature installed by Yandex The disk on the computer is integrated into the operating system. After installation, the user will see that in the “My Computer” folder appears new disk. It is on it that 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 and go to the disk settings.

Next, by going to 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.
