Meanwhile, I am still not a very confident user. You may experience difficulties when working on this cloud. Let's try to figure out some of them.

Sending a file

How to send files to cloud mail.ru:

In the video below you can see “How to upload a document to the mail.ru cloud.”

Transferring a file

How to transfer a file via mail.ru cloud?

Transfer of archives, videos and photographs

How to transfer videos and photos via mail.ru cloud? You use an account on mail.ru, you have uploaded video material to the cloud that you intend to transfer to your friends. Let it be the film “The Illusionist”. Further actions are similar to what we had to perform when transferring any other file. Transferring photographs and archives via cloud service is performed in the same way as presented in the case of transferring files and video material.

You can see in detail how to place and transfer photographs with the services of the mail.ru cloud resource in the video below.

Now you know how to transfer documents, videos, photographs and archives using the mail.ru cloud resource. You can read about other features of using the [email protected] service. I hope that everything was clear to you, and you will be able to implement all these activities on your own without much stress. Happy dispatches!

If you use cloud storage, then you probably know that you can upload files of a limited size to the cloud, for example, on mail.ru the limit is up to 2 gigabytes. In this article you will learn how to add a file of any size to various cloud storages.

The cloud can be used different ways. You can use a special application that is installed on your computer, and with the help of it you upload files to cloud storage.

But, minus this method is that this application is created specific folder(cloud storage folder). Everything would be fine, but this folder In addition to sending files to the cloud, it also duplicates them on your computer. Thus, taking up space on your computer’s hard drive.

To prevent this from happening, we have to delete the application and upload files directly to the cloud using a browser. Well, that's what I personally do.

And this is where we run into the file size problem. Cloud mail.ru does not allow you to add files larger than two gigabytes. What to do? What if, for example, our file weighs 3 gigabytes? Now, I will tell you how to deal with this.

We split the file into several archives

Necessary this file or split the files into several archives. You can use any data archiving program. I use the program "7-ZIP".

• I highlight required file.
• I press right button mice, by file.
• Opened context menu. I point to the “7-ZIP” item and select “Add to archive”.
  

• The archiving settings window will open. Here you need to find the item “Split into volumes of size (in bytes)”. In this item you need to set a value that allows you to add a file to the cloud. It all depends on which cloud you are going to add the file to. For example, I want to add to mail.ru, they have a limit of no more than 2 GB. So I set the value, say 1900 MB.
• Then click “OK” and archiving begins.

The bottom line is that the file we need will be divided into several archives, and the size of each archive will not exceed 1900 MB. This will give us the opportunity to upload all created archives to the cloud.

How to combine archives to get whole information

Now let's look at how we can get complete information from a file divided into archives.

Let's say you needed a file that you uploaded to the cloud. How to use it?

• Download all created archives (archives of this file).
• After you have downloaded everything, select all the archives that make up your file. This can be done by pressing left button mouse and scrolling through all the archives. Or, you can left-click on the top archive, hold down the “Shift” button and left-click on the bottom archive. All files will be highlighted.
• Right-click on any of the archives and a context menu will open.
• IN this menu Point to "7-ZIP" and select "Extract here."

That’s it, after unpacking, this file will be in this folder, in the form in which you archived it.

Thus, by splitting files into archives, you can add any files, even huge ones, to the cloud. The main thing is that there is enough space on the cloud.

Below is a video in which I showed how this is all done. Oh, by the way, if you don’t have an archiver program, then you can use free program"7-ZIP". Here is a link to her official website.

I hope this note was useful to you. or to the channel "Instructor PC".

Hello, dear readers of the Start-Luck blog. Tired of choosing which game to get rid of on your phone in order to save a photo and vice versa? Yes, the number of gigabytes in smartphones is constantly increasing, but they are still sorely lacking. Our needs grow along with them.

Don't want to lose important pictures and documents, but don’t know where to send them more reliably? Indeed, VKontakte is a great thing, but hacking an account with each saved photo in a dialogue with oneself raises more and more concerns.

My article today will help you solve many problems. I continue to talk about cloud services. Today Mail.ru came into my field of vision.

I will tell you about the Mile cloud, how to use this storage and how convenient it is. In principle, like many products of this company, the cloud from Mail is not much different from its counterparts: Google Drive, OneDrive from Microsoft and so on, but I won’t bother you with English-language names that are not familiar to everyone. Let's talk about Mail ru.

What is a cloud

I would like to tell you in a nutshell for beginners. I have already devoted a separate article to this issue, but I believe that not everyone has read it. I don't suffer from delusions of grandeur.

So, if you know what it is, then it’s not difficult to guess what a cloud is. Essentially, it's the same thing.

Somewhere far, far away in the Mail offices there are, simply put, large flash drives. You create your personal account (storage) on this flash drive, and then throw your documents there. You can access your personal account from anywhere by logging into the site using your details, as well as from your phone through the application or computer through the program.

If you wish, you can give your document a title, which you can then give to a friend, and he can download the file to his computer. It's not obligatory. Only you, the sole owner of the login and password for your personal account, can have access.

Advantages

What benefits do the clouds provide? You will never lose the necessary files, since they are, as I already said, somewhere far, far away. You have access to the necessary documents from anywhere in the world. You can easily and simply transfer photos to a friend via the Internet without meeting anyone in person.

In general, there are a lot of advantages.

Volume

Each company offers free storage space in different amounts. Yandex Disk - 10 GB, although not so long ago this company held a promotion and I managed to get as much as 35 GB for free for unlimited use for connecting the autoload function. I don’t transfer files from my phone to Yandex Disk, but they are downloaded automatically. It is quite possible that similar promotions will be repeated or held by other companies.

Mail.ru not long ago distributed 25 GB in free use, but now the volume has been reduced to 8. In principle, this may suit you. Or, you will work with Mail as additional storage. Together with Yandex, Google and some other cloud storage systems.

How to use

Mile's disk handling technology is no different from the others. First, you need to go to the official website. If you already have mail on mail, then just click login in the right top corner and enter your username and password. If mailbox no, then select “Registration” in the same right corner.

You will be asked to start email. To do this, enter your name and birthday.

It’s great that the system itself offers free and suitable ones. Remains only . If you are tired of doing it yourself, then I can offer you a very convenient program RoboForm , she not only comes up with very complex passwords, but also saves them in his memory and enters them every time he sees a familiar interface.

It is not necessary to enter a phone number and additional email.

Ready. You're in the mail. At the top you can see a link-button to the cloud. Click on it.

And here is the welcome inscription. Accept the user agreement.

Computer

On the left side of your personal account screen you will see an application that can be downloaded to your computer. I highly recommend doing this. Since this greatly simplifies working with Disk.

Select the operating system that you have installed.

All, installation file downloaded and you can activate it by double clicking on the program.

Be careful not to install unnecessary functions. For example, I don’t want to change home page to mail.

Now you see the shortcut on your desktop. Double-click and enter the username and password you recently created for your cloud.

The great thing is that now, in Explorer, when you open any folder, you can see the Mail cloud shortcut on the right. Click on it and you will be taken to a folder stored on the server. You can upload the necessary documents directly here and they will immediately appear in personal account. You can see them both from your phone and by going to the official cloud website using your data.

By right-clicking on a file, you will open extra menu, in which you can select the item: “Copy public link”. Select this option, pass the link to a friend and he can receive required document if enters your URL into search bar any browser.

Smartphone

As I already said, you can access all documents from Mail Drive from your phone if you install it on it. special application. I use android and the easiest way for me to find it is through Google Play. I enter the name into the search.

IN Lately not only computer technologies are rapidly developing, but also mobile technologies. In this regard, a very pressing question arose safe storage relatively large volumes information. And it is for this purpose that many IT corporations offer users of any type of device the use of so-called cloud services. How to use the cloud and services included in basic set any developer will now be considered.

What is cloud storage?

First, let’s define what kind of service this is. Roughly speaking, this is file storage in the form of an allocated disk space on the company providing such services.

In other words, in a sense, it can be called a kind of virtual flash drive on which a certain amount of data is placed. However, if you need to constantly carry a USB device with you to access downloaded information, then such a service (for example, the Mail.Ru cloud or the corresponding Google service) can be accessed from both a computer and a mobile device. That is, the files are synchronized in the cloud itself, and you can view or download them simply by entering your registration data (although in some cases this is not required).

Quite a lot has already been written about how to use the cloud. Now let’s pay attention to some main points, and also consider the simplest principles of its use, explaining the situation in detail.

Most popular services

It goes without saying that initially, to use such storages, you need to decide on a service provider, that is, choose the most suitable service for yourself

Today you can find quite a lot of such services. The most popular are the following:

• Dropbox.
• SkyDrive.
• Cloud Mail.Ru.
• "Yandex.Disk".
• Google Drive (Google Disk).
• Apple iCloud and iCloud Drive.
• OneDrive, etc.

Before we figure out how to use each type of cloud, it should be noted that these services are somewhat uneven when compared to each other. The fact is that some repositories can be accessed exclusively from a computer terminal, while others require synchronization of both computers and mobile devices. Sometimes it may be necessary specialized application, playing the role of a kind of conductor, sometimes just an Internet browser is enough.

The same applies to freely allocated disk space for storing your files, as well as payment for additional volume for remote server. In any case, most services are very similar to each other.

What should you pay attention to before starting work?

Now let's look at some important points, without which the use of cloud services is out of the question.

The very first and most important thing is pre-registration, and in some cases it is absolutely unimportant whether it will be done via the Internet using a regular browser or a special computer or mobile application. The whole process takes a few minutes.

Benefit from stationary systems Mobile devices with operating systems installed on them differ. The fact is that when you turn it on for the first time to access some advanced functions or stores such as AppStore or Google Play ( Play Market) the system initially prompts you to create an account (registered address Email and password). Moreover, your smartphone or tablet already has pre-installed application for working with cloud services. For convenience, you can install their desktop counterparts on a computer or laptop (although access can also be obtained through a browser).

Allocable disk space

Another important point- the amount of disk space that the user initially receives in free version. Typically, the volume is different services ranges from 5 to 50 GB. If this is not enough, you will have to increase the storage capacity and pay a certain amount for it, which includes the cost of purchasing more volume and maintenance for a certain period of use, which, by the way, can also vary.

General principles

As for how to use the cloud in the broadest sense, everything is quite simple. After registration, the user only needs to add folders and files, contacts and much more to the storage.

At the same time, in the settings section, he can add friends who, like him, will upload files to the server or edit them (the simplest example is Dropbox). Often new users can use own passwords to login.

But here's what's interesting. When installing special program On a computer, access to files in the cloud is much faster than when launching the same Internet browser. The same can be said about synchronization. It is enough to place the files in the application folder, and synchronization will be performed instantly for all users who have access rights to the service. Let's look at the most popular storage facilities.

Cloud Mail.Ru

So, as mentioned above, you will first need to create an email box, after entering which the panel at the top in the projects tab will display cloud service. This is the Mile cloud. How to use it? As easy as pie.

Initially, 25 GB of disk space is offered. carried out using the corresponding button, which can be used to add several objects at once. The limitation concerns only the size of the uploaded file - it should not exceed 2 GB. Before starting the download, you can use additional functions, for example, create and then just as easily files can be moved and deleted. Please note: it does not have a “Trash”, as in the same Yandex service, so restore deleted information will not work.

The function of creating, viewing or editing files can be very useful. Let's say we have Word document(or it is created directly in the repository). Changing it directly in the cloud can be as easy as if the user were launching the editor on a computer. Upon completion of work, we save the changes, after which synchronization occurs again.

Yandex cloud: how to use?

With the Yandex service, in principle, things are almost identical. The functional set, in general, does not differ much.

But the developers of this service thought that the user could delete files completely by accident. This is where the so-called “Trash” comes to the rescue, into which information is placed when deleted. It works like a standard computer service. True, data recovery tools are not applicable to it if they have already been deleted from the Recycle Bin. Nevertheless, the function is very useful.

Google Drive storage

Now let's move on to one more powerful service called Google Cloud. How to use Google Drive? Fundamental differences compared to other services, no. But here access can be obtained both from a mobile device (built-in service) and using a utility installed on a computer (not to mention logging in via an Internet browser). With a phone or tablet everything is simple, let’s look at the computer program.

We assume that the account has already been created. After activation, the user receives 5 GB of storage. An increase to 25 GB will cost approximately 2.5 USD. We install the application on the computer, after which the service folder appears on the Desktop (it is also displayed in Explorer).

As is already clear, just place the files in this directory and synchronization will occur. During operation, the program “hangs” in the system tray as an icon. Right-clicking opens an additional menu where you can view the available space for downloading files, make personalized settings, expand storage space, shut down, etc.

One point is especially worth noting here. As it turns out, copying files to the program folder on your computer and then downloading them from the cloud to your mobile device turns out to be much faster than connecting the gadget to your computer and then copying them using Windows.

iCloud and iCloud Drive services

Finally, let's look at how to use the Apple cloud. There are two services (iCloud and iCloud Drive) that are pre-installed on the iPhone or iPad according to the version operating system installed on the device. Essentially, iCloud Drive is updated version iCloud, and for it correct operation I should take into account that mobile gadget must correspond to the stated technical requirements: iOS 8 on the device itself. Computer - Windows 7 or higher with iCloud extension for Windows or a computer terminal running Mac OS X 10.10 or OS X Yosemite.

Initially, after logging into the service, folders created by default will be displayed there. Their number may vary depending on the settings of the computer and the client on mobile device. How to use the cloud on iPhone? In principle, there is nothing supernatural about this. It is enough to launch the application on the gadget (switch the launch slider to the on state) and log in using account. It's another matter when the input is supposed to be from a computer. Here you will need to use the settings menu of the program itself and select enable there.

Another minus - enough low speed synchronization (this is recognized by everyone). And one more, most unpleasant moment. If you switch from iCloud to iCloud Drive without updating all devices to required configuration, data in the old cloud will simply be inaccessible, so be vigilant.

Conclusion

That’s briefly all that concerns the question of how to use the Cloud application or services of the same name. Of course, not all the possibilities of such services are considered here, but, so to speak, only general principles(basics) of work. However, even with such minimal knowledge, any newly registered user will be able to carry out basic operations within 5-10 minutes.

Cloud services are new trend in Internet technologies. A cloud is any remote resource that helps save, create, and transfer files. In this article we will look at the cloud from Mail.ru. So, what is cloud storage and how to work with it, read the article.

What is the mail.ru cloud

The mail.ru cloud is a service where you can store and manage data. Using mail.ru the user can store, check files, download them, transfer to another user. All actions take place on the Internet. One of the advantages of such a service is that it is free and accessible. That is, every user can get this extra bed for storing documents on the Internet.

Essentially this is HDD, the same one installed on your computer or laptop. The difference is the use of the Cloud on different devices , the main thing is to have access to the Internet. From the service, the user can send a link to his friend or partner to the material, and he will be able to download, watch a video, or a document.

Let’s summarize why the service is needed:

• For storing files and folders.
• For working with documents and files on any gadget. The main thing is to have Internet access.
• For fast transfer files between users.

You can upload any files to the Cloud and download from it from any device, and you can also view, transfer or download them from any device. You can upload anything: books, documents, videos, pictures.

At the same time, you can configure access to documents. You can set the mode when only you can see the files; for some materials you can set public access, that is, such files can be viewed Internet users and other users will be able to download them. If access is open, a link will be generated that can be passed to the user to view the file or download it.

How to use Cloud from mail.ru

We figured out what the Cloud is, now let’s figure out the process of working in this service. In order to start working with the service, you must complete the following steps:

Now you can use virtual disk. In order to upload files larger than 2 GB from your computer, you need install Cloud disk to your computer. It can be installed on both a computer with Windows, IOS, and Android.

Let's figure out how to install Cloud on a computer:

• Let's go to the Cloud. On the left side there will be a blue form “Install the Cloud on your smartphone”. Here you can select any device from all those offered on which you want to install. We are looking at a computer.
• Now click on “PC Application”.
• A form will appear in which you need to select your operating system.

After downloading, you need to open the file and make the settings:

• Click “Launch”.
• Select the program language. In our case, Russian, click “Ok”.
• The Installation Wizard will launch. Click “Next”.
• Now you need to select the folder in which the program files will be installed. Select “Browse”, click on the desired folder, click “Next”.
• We agree that a shortcut will be created on the desktop. Click “Next”.
• After that, click “Install”.

Cloud Mail.ru

After installation Setup Wizard will notify you that the installation process was successful. All you have to do is click on the “Finish” button. After this, you can open the Cloud from your computer.

How to upload and download documents from the mail ru service

We figured out how to use the Cloud. Now you need to figure out the process of uploading material to the Cloud. To begin with, try to transfer only one document there. Move files possible via Cloud on the Internet or use installed disk on the computer. If you decide to transfer documents to the Cloud installed on your computer:

• Select the required document.
• Click “Copy”
• Go to the downloaded disk. Click "Insert".

You don’t have to make copies, or rather, you can do it much faster. Let's catch required file and move it to the Cloud. You don't need to do anything else, the document will be copied.

Now let's look at it file upload option from a computer to a Cloud that is not installed on the computer:

The video will be downloaded to your computer.

if you need to transfer video or documents to another user, you need to follow these steps:

Files are deleted as easily as they are downloaded. You need to select the desired file and click “Delete”. Do not forget clean out the Trash as well, since everything deleted files are moving there.

So, we looked at a service such as Cloud Mail.ru. Here you can watch and save videos, pictures, documents. You can also create files in any text editor. When you register for the first time, you will be presented with a 100 GB Cloud. If you need more space, it is possible to connect new tariff. You can check the contents of the disk from any gadget.
