What is offered to you

I would like to immediately note that Yandex.Disk does not just allow you to store data - it is integrated with the entire Yandex service, which allows you to use this data online.

you can view the main types of text and web documents, as well as play audio and video files using the built-in flash player;
you can share files with a specific group of people;
what is also important is automation.

Note: automation refers to automatic uploading of files to the cloud. For example, uploading a photo taken on your phone.

Now that we have understood everything that the service offers us, let's move on to the more practical part.

Create your account

Welcome to the blog site! From this article you will learn what Yandex Disk is and why it is needed. Let's look at how to create a cloud for storing files and working with it (upload files, make them available for download).

The Yandex Disk cloud is a virtual file storage that provides the ability to upload for personal use and exchange information (photos, videos, audio, documents, etc.) with other users. The data is hosted on a remote server and is available for downloading from anywhere in the world where there is Internet access.

You can manage files both from a browser and from any device (computer or phone) after installing a special program. To transfer files to another user via Yandex Disk, you first need to upload them to a file hosting service and provide a download link.

Creating a cloud in Yandex for storing files is very simple - register a mailbox on Yandex and get access to this service.

Now you know how to create a cloud for storing Yandex files, use it, upload and download files.

Up to 50 GB via the Internet using the service DropMeFiles. But, unfortunately, you won’t be able to store files on this service for a long time.

And therefore, it is better to use file hosting services to store files. There are quite a lot of them, and now we will look at one of the most popular and famous file sharing services - let's learn use Yandex Disk.

You can find it through Yandex search by following the link More - Disk, or More - All services - Disk . Naturally, if you want to use this service, that is, get a certain disk space, you need to be registered on Yandex, that is, have a mailbox on it.

Working with the Yandex Disk file hosting service is quite simple. To download the file, click on the button Download, then click on the button, and upload more files - they will be uploaded simultaneously all at once.

During the loading process, you can see how the bar fills up and how much time is left to wait. This window can be hidden by clicking the button Hide this window . You will see that the download continues after this in the lower left corner - an inscription with running stripes appears there Upload one file .

Clicking on this inscription again opens the download window.

On the left side of the Yandex Disk service there is a menu. By default, when entering the service, we are taken to the item My drive. On the right you will see a list of files that you have downloaded. At the top of the menu you will also see how much space you have been given and how much free space is left.

File display can be a list, icons, tiles. Different display options are switched in the upper right part of the service window.

By selecting a file and using the buttons at the top, you can download the file to your computer, delete it, and configure access to it. You can also create a folder, rename a file, or copy and move a file into a folder.

To the right of the file names, their sizes are visible.

Also, when selecting a file, you can configure access to it using the switch below: you can turn off or turn on the download link. And then the link can be shared with other people.

By the way, it is possible to make new links to the same file, although there is no such command on the service. For example, this is a link to your information product, and you do not want it to be given away for free. And you are going to change the link once a month. It's easy to do. To replace, you simply turn off the public link and turn it on again. That's all - the link will be new.

After deleting, the file goes to the trash. The free space on Yandex Disk does not increase. To make it bigger, you need to clean the basket.

To clean, go to the menu item Basket. and press the button Clear. Or delete each file individually. highlighting it and pressing the button Delete. You can also restore the file, that is, move it from the trash again to the item My drive .

After emptying the trash, click on the item My drive in the menu to continue working with the service.

In Yandex Disk you can not only download, but also view downloaded pictures without downloading them to your computer. To do this, you select the image file and click the button below Download, and the button Look. If there are several images, you can view them all one by one using the convenient arrows on the sides or the file ribbon at the bottom. To exit viewing mode, click on the cross in the upper right corner of the service window.

Files are stored indefinitely. From the very beginning, 3 GB is given, but this volume can be increased. To enlarge, click on the menu item Increase disk capacity . Additional volume can be purchased, but if you are primarily interested in free methods of increasing volume, scroll down the page.

There, another 7 GB is given as a gift after completing a task called Pre-flight preparation . You will need to download the Yandex Disk program for Windows and install it, then upload a couple of files and tell a friend about the service.

There is another option to get as much as 10 GB by inviting friends. You give them a gift - 1 GB, and for each invitee you receive 0.5 GB.

So I invite you to Yandex Disk. Follow the link:

Video about how to work with the Yandex Disk file hosting service

You can get more detailed information in the “All courses” and “Utilities” sections, which can be accessed through the top menu of the site. In these sections, articles are grouped by topic into blocks containing the most detailed (as far as possible) information on various topics.

You can also subscribe to the blog and learn about all new articles.
It does not take a lot of time. Just click on the link below:

Hello, dear readers of the blog site! Modern technologies in the form of cloud storage make it possible to meet the ever-growing needs of users for reliable file storage, which includes Yandex Disk. Today we will look at the main options provided by this service.

The functionality of Yandex Disk is, in principle, available in the web interface, but in order to use all its capabilities, it is still recommended, which will be discussed in a separate article. I decided to divide the publication about Drive into two parts in order to familiarize you with this Yandex product in as much detail as possible and give you the opportunity to understand whether using the cloud interface is enough for you, or whether you need to install its additional application.

Before moving on to technical details, it is necessary to clarify what Yandex Disk is and why it is needed at all. Perhaps some readers will find this information useful. So, cloud technology (in our case, Yandex Disk) allows you not only to store important information, including your documents and files, but also to access them from almost any electronic device from anywhere in the world, as well as transfer them and determine to whom they will be available.

It should also be noted that storing files on Disk is not limited in time and is absolutely safe, since they are all scanned by an anti-virus program, safety is ensured by advanced modern technologies and data is transferred only over an encrypted connection.

How to create an account in Yandex Disk (registration and login)

So, as I said above, today we are getting acquainted with the web interface. If you already have your own mailbox on Yandex, then the task is simplified. Just log into your account and find the Yandex Disk tab. You can log into your cloud storage account by simply clicking on this tab:

Otherwise, you can register on the official page. But there is one nuance here. The fact is that by registering using a referral link, you have the opportunity to immediately receive an additional 1 GB of free space for storing your files in addition to the 10 GB already provided forever. There is a great opportunity in the future increase this space up to 20 GB for free(I will definitely write how to do this in the next article, don’t miss it). So, go to this page and register by clicking on the “Register” button:

Registration is extremely simple. Enter your first and last name, and come up with a more complex password. The only thing you will need to do is enter your mobile phone number, which is necessary to ensure modern security requirements, and click the “Get code” button. This code will be sent to your mobile phone. Next, follow the recommendations of the registration wizard. On the same page, you can also log in by entering your password and login if you already have an account, and also access Yandex Disk using social networks.

My Yandex Disk - working in the cloud storage interface

After logging into your account, you will see an interface that is intuitive and as easy to use as possible. To move the necessary files to Disk from your computer, just click the “Upload” button or use the “select” link. You can also use the “Drug and Drop” method by left-clicking the desired file and simply dragging it from the window with your folders on the computer to the area indicated by the dotted line.

In addition, it is possible to change the way folders and files are displayed: in the form of large or small icons, as well as in a list, similar to how this is done, for example, in Windows. You can also organize their location by name, size, type, modification date; in ascending and descending order, that is, in alphabetical order, where the name is decisive.

To create a new folder, click on the plus sign icon, a block will instantly appear on the right where you need to enter its name in the corresponding column:

After you enter the name of the new object, to save the changes, simply press ENTER on the keyboard or left-click on the free space of the page. The new folder will take its place in the directory:

In order to carry out certain actions, you need to tick the desired object, and an editing block will immediately appear on the right side of the interface. To rename, move the cursor to the name of the folder, it will immediately change the font color to red, and an icon with a pencil image will appear on the right, by clicking on which you will be able to enter a new name.

This same option, along with a number of others, is also present in the main editing block, which appears just below:

Here at your service are almost all possible functions that you may need. For example, you can open a folder to access the files in it, download from Yandex Disk to your computer, and delete. By clicking on the button with three dots, you get additional options (copy, move), including the above-mentioned renaming.

Let's look at some options in more detail. Let's say you are quite capable of opening access to this or that folder to the users and exactly those you want. Depending on the settings, they will be able to simply view the content or perform all actions (delete, add, edit files, etc.). To do this, click “Make folder public”, in the window that appears, enter the e-mail of a certain person known to you, determine the access level and click “Invite”:

You can enter as many addresses as you need. The selected folder will appear on the Drive of each user you invite, which will be shared with you. By the way, for convenience, on Yandex Disk all shared folders are located in a separate section, which can be found in the top menu. Now all invitees for the selected folder will be listed in the access settings window:

By the way, you are free to send a repeat invitation for each of the participants. In this case, move the cursor to the desired line, immediately the circular update arrow icon will change to an invitation button, which you should click on:

By the way, if you have your own Facebook account, you can invite all your friends at once. To do this, click on the icon of this social network at the very bottom of the access settings window. However, to implement this idea you will have to give the Yandex application access to your Facebook account data:

I think that Yandex can be trusted, which will not specifically disclose data, especially since most of it is not strictly confidential, so feel free to click OK. Unfortunately, this option currently only exists for Facebook. It is likely that other popular social networks will soon appear in this section on Yandex Disk. After all these movements, the entire list of participants who have access will appear on the right side of the shared folder:

In addition to setting up access for individual users, you can provide a link to public access to selected folders and individual files. For example, it is useful to do this on your website so that your readers, if necessary, can download the required file directly from Yandex Disk. Look at the screenshot four times above in the text. There is a button divided into two parts. Click on the left side, the inscription “ON” will appear. and a link to this file or folder will be available.

Copy and paste it anywhere, even on your website, or post it on social networks. By the way, if you immediately want to check how it works, copy the link, paste it into the address bar of your browser and press ENTER. Get a view that will be visible to everyone who clicks on this link.

I can’t help but mention the options for each individual file on Yandex Disk. For example, if you open a folder with images, then at your service, in addition to the functionality mentioned above, there will be a built-in photo editor, which is very rich in all sorts of useful things. To access this tool, click “Edit”, after which you will be transferred to a separate window where you can experiment a lot, showing your creativity.

In the photo editor, you can decorate a photo or picture beyond recognition by applying various effects, adding, for example, stickers or frames, changing the sharpness, brightness, contrast, color saturation, rotating or cropping. After all this bullying, click the “Done” button in the upper right corner of the editor and save the modified photo. Moreover, what is important, the original will remain in its original form:

In the same way, for each type or file format, you can perform certain actions. For example, listen to an audio recording or watch a video. To do this, open the desired folder and select the file, after which a tool for applying your intentions will appear in the right block of the interface.

Each person has some personal files at his disposal. Most often these are photographs and music, less often - films and books. We try to store the data that is of particular value to us in the most secure place possible. Some people use a hard drive, flash drives, and other devices for this that allow them to transfer files and not worry about their safety.

However, the era when you had to purchase a special portable disk with a large capacity to save personal photos has already passed. Today, all electronic data can be moved to the Internet - to some cloud service. We will talk more about working with one of them (namely, the service from Yandex) in this article.

We will try to reveal the most important information about how to create a Yandex Disk, how to work with it, what files and in what volumes can be uploaded to the cloud, and much more.

General information

To begin with, we will tell you about how the cloud service works and what it is intended for.

Figuratively speaking, we can compare the cloud to a large hard drive located somewhere on the Internet. We can easily interact with it, move, copy, distribute our files, exchange them with friends and, on the contrary, hide them from prying eyes. All this can be done from anywhere in the world and at any time, the main thing is that we have access to the network. This is the beauty of cloud storage.

They are timeless, securely protected and easily accessible to the owner. To, say, start using such a service, you just need to create “Yandex.Disk”. We will describe in more detail how to do this later in the text. By having an account with this service, you can truly ditch those bulky and expensive hard drives and keep your valuable files forever.

Where is the information stored?

A user who hears about cloud technologies for the first time has a logical question: why are these services so reliable that they can provide supposedly eternal storage of files, and where is all the information located? After all, if each user uploads large files to their disk, this mass of information will be colossal in size. How does the service cope with such a flow of information and where does it all go?

The answer is simple: data transmitted through the cloud is stored on the servers of the service with which the user interacts. In fact, these files can be virtually “split” in such a way that their parts are located in different storages. Plus, of course, the service where you can create Yandex.Disk provides various mechanisms for making copies of user files, which completely eliminates the risk of their loss.

Imagine entire data centers consisting of hundreds of servers connected together... This is the cloud, which can simply include a huge amount of space. Due to this structure, the system can accommodate not only 10 GB of each user, but much more. This is another factor that plays to the benefit of the Yandex.Disk service. Creating an account here really means getting access to very convenient and in some ways truly revolutionary technologies. Which, by the way, are still developing.

File access

Of course, in addition to the fact that your information must be protected, the service is also obliged to provide all the necessary access to it in the shortest possible way. Ideally, the user should be able to review, say, their photographs in any situation, if such a desire arises, logging in from any platform. Before you create Yandex Disk, you should also know: all this is possible thanks to the system implemented by the company.

We will write in more detail about how to access your files later. Now we just note that there are several ways to access your “Disk”: a web browser, a special program, and also an application on a mobile phone. We will consider some aspects of working with each of them in more detail.

Restrictions

The types of files that you can publish on Yandex.Disk are not limited in any way - upload anything there. The main limit is the amount of space that the service will “give” you. That is, if you are a novice user who has just created your account, you will receive 10 GB of space to work with your content. If you already have experience interacting with the service and you do not have enough space, you can “purchase” as much as you need. We'll tell you more about how to get more below. At this stage, it is important to understand that the “ceiling” for a simple user is 10 GB.

Increased space

So, the user has several ways to expand the space on his “Disk”. The first is purchasing. There are three tariff plans promoted by the service, within which you can get 10 GB, 100 GB and 1 TB. The subscription fee for using this place is 30, 80 and 200 rubles per month, respectively. While you enter it, the system will provide the opportunity to place your files in the specified free space.

The second way you can expand your “Disk” is through promotions and inviting friends. For example, the first means that, having paid at the store, you will receive as a gift a certain amount of additional space, which you can use in the same way. Also, for example, the service gives the client the opportunity to “earn” additional space. If you refer at least one friend, you will receive 512 MB of space for free. This applies to every participant who registers using your link.

How to create a "Yandex Disk". Detailed instructions

So, we looked at some important aspects of the operation of such a cloud service as Yandex.Disk. Create a folder, rename your file, open it in a separate window, send a link to the file to a friend and many other operations will be available to you intuitively, there is nothing new in this. In addition, the system offers each new participant something like “training files” saved initially, by default. You can “play around” with them until you understand how the service works. Believe me, it is very fast and quite easy.

But before that, we need to tell you how to create a Yandex Disk. Just follow our information - and you can become a full participant in the system.

First of all, you need to have a Yandex account. If you have an account with Yandex.Money or any mailbox in the yandex.ru domain zone, you can say that you already have everything you need to get started. Then just log in using your username and password, then go to the “Disk” tab. It can be seen in the top panel of the site. There will be a window asking you to open the disk for your own purposes. At the same point, after your consent, the standard pictures that we talked about will appear.

Working with PC

As we reported earlier, one of the ways to work with Disk is a special program. You can download it directly from the service website; you will be prompted to do this repeatedly. However, when downloading this software, be careful: along with it, Yandex is trying to “slip” its auxiliary elements into the browser, some kind of advertising and a package of settings for Yandex.Browser. It’s up to you to install all this or refuse by unchecking the appropriate boxes.

After downloading, you must enter your username and password in your account. Then you can work with the program in normal mode.

In particular, it allows you to see files on your cloud as if in a local folder. Also, the “Add file” item will appear in the system interface, which will simplify working with your data. Actually, that's all you need to know about how to create Yandex.Disk on your computer.

Working from a browser

If you don’t want to download additional software, you can use a browser window. You just need to open the “Disk” tab in your “Yandex account” and you will be taken inside the system. The disadvantage of the browser is that there is no clear synchronization between the computer and your disk; The advantage is that you don’t need to download anything.

Mobile platforms

Even on a tablet computer or mobile phone, you can install a mobile application designed specifically for service users. It has an attractive design and a simple interface that everyone can understand. Even if you have no experience working with the program client, you will understand how to create a link to Yandex.Disk. The files can be freely distributed among friends and acquaintances.

Keep your “Disk” in order!

Another point is the structure of the files and their placement. Remember: as with any hard drive, as files accumulate, you need to sort through them a little. Create appropriate folders with clear names, label your photos, music and videos: this is the only way to save all the valuable information in the form you remember it.

Conclusion

So, today we talked about such a wonderful technology as files, and in particular about the service from Yandex. Agree, this technological solution really has no analogues today, and at the same time, its properties are ahead of the classic copying of files to media. You've already figured out how to create Yandex.Disk for photos, music and other valuable files in no time! It's easy and convenient, even a child can do it. Therefore, if you still do not have a service where you can upload important information, we recommend that you get one before you lose your valuable files. Moreover, it's free!
