Yandex disk is open. Report a bug
Everyone good day! Today we are talking about a very convenient service that I have been using in my work for a long time - Yandex Disk. What kind of “beast” is this? - you might ask. I will talk about this in detail in the article below. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments, we will figure it out and look for answers! In the meantime, let's get acquainted with one of the most convenient file storages from the developers of the popular Russian search engine Yandex.
1. Yandex Disk: what is it
Yandex.Disk is a popular cloud storage that allows users to store various information(photos, videos, audio, texts and other files) in the so-called “cloud”, i.e. on a server on the network. Data stored on Yandex.Disk can be shared with other users, as well as accessed from various devices - other computers, tablets and smartphones. Basic version Yandex.Disk is completely free and available to everyone. I remember that in 2012, registration was by invitation only, and I used an alternative service - Dropbox. But now I have completely switched to Yandex Disk Cloud. After all, free, and even accessible from everywhere, 10 GB is never superfluous.
2. Yandex Disk: how to use - step-by-step instructions
So, I convinced you, and you decided to install Yandex Disk on your computer. Now let’s take a closer look at how to use Yandex Cloud (also called Yandex.Disk, since it is a cloud data storage).
2.1. How to create Yandex Disk (registration in Yandex Cloud)
In order to start using Yandex.Disk, you need register and start Mailbox from Yandex(if you already have one, go straight to the second point).
4. Installing Yandex.Disk on a smartphone. Free apps available for iOS and Android, so you can download them without any problems App Store And Google Play. The iOS app isn't very good great rating, there are some shortcomings, all of this can be seen in the reviews.
2.3. Yandex Disk: how much free space?
Immediately after registering and installing Yandex.Disk, you can access 10 free GB of space in the Cloud. This is quite enough for a start; it lasted me about six months. What to do if there is not enough space?
- Additional free 10 GB for inviting friends. You can get 512 MB of free cloudy place for each friend you invite. Go here - https://disk.yandex.ru/invites and you will see your referral link, which you need to copy and send to your friends. After each user registers using your link, you will receive extra bed on Disk, and an invited friend gets an additional 1 GB.
- Additional up to 250 GB as a gift from Yandex partners. Various promotions are regularly held that will allow you to get additional gigabytes of free space. You can track current promotions on this page.
And of course, as you can expect from Yandex, additional space can be purchased. However, the pleasure does not come cheap:
If you need a lot of space in the Cloud, but don’t want to pay, you can create several mailboxes and create Yandex.Disk for each of them.
2.3. Login to Yandex Disk
Registration has been completed, the available space has been sorted out, the question arises - ?
You can view downloaded files in several ways:
1. Open the Yandex.Disk folder shortcut on the Desktop, if you did not delete it after installation.
2. Open Yandex.Disk in the My Computer folder.
3. Click on the Yandex.Disk icon in the taskbar, located in the far right corner of the screen.
4. Log in to your Yandex mail through any browser and at the top there will be a link to the Cloud:
6. Go to home page Yandex, being logged in to the mail. On the right top corner there will be a link to Yandex.Disk:
2.4. How to upload files to Yandex Disk - 7 easy ways
Let us now consider the most main point, because of which we performed all these actions - . Again, there are several ways to do this:
1. Through context menu . Select the file that needs to be uploaded to the Cloud, click on it right click mouse and select the item: “Yandex.Disk: Copy public link”:
2. Copy the file to the Yandex.Disk folder(I wrote above how to enter it). By default, this folder is synchronized automatically, so when you copy there, all files will be immediately added to your Disk.
3. Upload files via mobile app iOS or Android. I can consider this method in a separate article, if you leave such a wish in the comments.
4. Upload a file to the Cloud via browser. To do this, simply drag and drop the selected files into a browser window with Yandex.Disk open:
5. Copying other people's files. If someone shared with you a link to a file that is stored on Yandex.Disk, you can easily save it to your Cloud. To do this, you need to follow the sent link like https://yadi.sk/*** and click on the “Save to Yandex.Disk” button on the right.
They also often ask - how to upload a folder to Yandex Disk. The principle is the same as stated above in the files section. But one more thing appears additional benefit– the folder can be assigned to Shared access. This way, other users to whom you grant access rights will be able to view and download files in this folder, as well as upload their own files there.
How to upload a video to Yandex Disk?– is also a very popular question from Cloud users. This is due to the fact that video files are usually large, and many people worry that they simply won’t “fit” and cannot be stored there. This is not true, video files, just like photos, can be uploaded and stored on Yandex.Disk.
2.5. Yandex Disk: how to transfer files to another user
You can also remove access to the file by clicking the mouse and switching it to the OFF position.
If for some reason you need to remove Yandex.Disk from your computer, then you should do the same as with regular application– take advantage standard means operating system.
Let's move on: Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features
In the window that appears, select Yandex.Disk (usually it is the last one in the list) and click the “Delete” button. The downloaded files will remain in your account, only the application will be deleted from your computer.
Hello, friends! Finally, almost a year later (Yandex disk was launched in the spring of 2012) I managed to get to this miracle of engineering. Frankly speaking, I bought it for 10 GB free space. Since Yandex already had mail, there were no more obstacles left. Whatever you have (obstacles), we will sort it out. And so 10 GB or more of free space for your files + functionality from Dropbox + everything in our language = a convenient and reliable place to store your information.
Yandex disk is yours virtual disk on the Yandex server which is synchronized with your folder on your computer. All information in this folder will be synchronized automatically with all your devices. Supported various devices and operating systems. Having downloaded a file from any device, you can work with it on any other device and access it from anyone, even someone else’s computer, via the web interface.
Before you start using the information storage service, you must have mail from Yandex. If for some reason you don’t have one yet, then it’s time to get one.
The Yandex Disk data storage service, like Dropbox, uses a referral system. That is. If you just connect to the service you can upgrade your account to 10 GB. If you use a referral link and follow it, then you will no longer have 10 but 11 GB. In turn, I suggest you follow my link
You will find yourself in your mail on the Files tab. The underlined inscription indicates that you received a gift in the video of an additional gigabyte of free space. 3 GB is immediately available to you. To increase it and receive a gift, you need to complete several simple steps. Click on +3 GB to install software Yandex disk on your computer
The YandexDiskSetup.exe file will download. Let's launch it. The installer will download the Yandex disk and perform the installation. After the installation is complete, Yandex will not intrusively offer to install its Elements. I suggest unchecking all the boxes and not checking anything unnecessary. Otherwise, your computer may start to slow down. Click the Finish button
In Settings, on the Basic tab, you need to specify the location of the Yandex disk folder. To do this, create any folder on drive D or E and use the Edit button to set the path to it. I find it convenient not to change the folder name.
To further pump up your free space, you need to download several files using the Yandex disk program.
Open the disk folder and copy any file there. This way we will get an additional +2 GB of free space.
Then we return to the site and click Tell a friend. Choose any social network and share positive things with friends.
Method No. 2 How to get a public link. Call the context menu on the Yandex disk icon in the notification area. Select “Sharing > Select file and get public link...”
A window opens where you can select any file on your computer and more. If the file is not in the Yandex disk folder, the program will copy it there and give you a public link.
If you have recorded your email, this person will receive a letter in which he will be asked to log into his Yandex disk. If he does not have an account, he will be asked to register. After deleting, all files are placed in the trash, which must be emptied periodically.
The remaining functions are intuitive.
You can view pictures, PDF documents and listen sound files without downloading them from Yandex service Disk
Conclusion
Yandex disk - as an information storage service, it shows its best side. The initial volume of synchronized files is from 10-11 GB, which is much more than Dropbox (2-2.5 GB) and twice as much as Google Drive (5 GB). Your virtual hard disk can be expanded by inviting friends up to 20 GB, which puts your competitors to shame. However, in Dropbox it is possible to share an entire folder with an unregistered user. This function not available to Yandex disk. Let's hope it's only in beta.
Question from the comment
Why can’t I upload a 16 GB file to Yandex disk??? free 127 GB
The maximum file size on Disk is 10 GB.
Video in which we will look how to use Yandex Disk?
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! Volume allocated disk space 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.
The Yandex.Disk application is optimized for working with files. While a regular browser often makes errors when loading large volumes information and even closes automatically in the middle of the process.
You can download the application on the website https://disk.yandex.ru/client/disk and install it on your PC for free. Our instructions will help you with this:
Go to Yandex Disk and select your operating system from the list provided.
Download installation image to your hard drive and launch it by clicking on it.
Accept license agreement, wait for installation and the program will appear in the registry of your computer.
In the window that opens, you must enter your email address and password to gain access to your personal file storage.
After this, the main directory will be displayed with a list of files, as well as folders and partitions. To download 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 begin.
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 others 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.
Thus, you have learned how to install and use Yandex Disk. This cloud storage will help you free up your computer's memory and protect your valuable files - all while paying cash This will only be needed if you want to increase the size of the allocated space. Even a beginner can master the cloud computer user. You just need to follow these instructions and have the desire to learn how to work with the service.
Good day!
For fast transfer files to other people, and between your PC, laptop and phone it is very convenient to use Yandex disk (cloud service for storing files). I uploaded photos to it once (for example) - and they can be viewed from all devices that have access to the Internet. In addition, you can significantly save space in your phone’s memory (many people often don’t have enough of it) by setting up automatic uploading of videos and photos to the cloud.
Add to this the ability to work with Word documents, Excel and Power Point online (without installing anything on your PC). It is very comfortable!
Not to mention that information on cloud drives is more reliably protected from various misunderstandings (viruses, problems with file system, erroneous formatting, etc.) than on a classic HDD. Those. it makes sense to send some of the information to the cloud for backup copy(by the way, it can be done automatically, more on this later in the article).
Actually, in this article I wanted to show how all this can be quickly configured and used. I think the note will be useful to everyone who is still new to cloud disks.
And so, closer to the topic...
Registration and login to the drive [On Windows and Android]
In general, registration on the service is quite standard for similar products. First, follow the link below to the official Yandex disk website and click the “Start disk” button (see screenshot below).
Next, you need to provide your details: first name, last name, login, password and phone number. By the way, if you already have mail from Yandex (or you use other products of this company), then registration is faster (just log into your account, the link will be located above the registration form).
After you register, you can start downloading applications for Windows and Android (to access and work with files on the disk).
For Windows
I won’t show the entire installation process, because... The installation is standard (like other programs) and does not contain anything complicated (interesting).
After installing the application, a characteristic “Yandex disk” icon will appear on your desktop and in the system tray, see the screenshot below. Clicking on it will open a window with all files, folders
The window for working with disk files is no different from the classic Explorer: all actions are the same. As a rule, creating, editing and deleting files and folders does not cause any difficulties even for novice users.
For Android
Installing the application on Android is also standard. Just go to Google Play (link above) and click the install button.
After installation, open the application shortcut, enter your username and password (specified during registration), set a PIN code (this is necessary so that no one except you can access the disk, even if you lose your phone), and woo-a-la - you're in the disk. See screenshots below.
How to increase free space on Yandex disk
In general, the allocated disk space is constantly changing (depending on different promotions, conditions, etc.): for example, several years ago I was given 10 GB during registration (it’s difficult to predict how much they will give you at the time of registration).
They also give extra as a bonus. space for using the mailbox (in my case 9 GB), and for installing the application on the phone (32 GB). In total, it turns out to be about 47 GB (which is quite enough for documents, photos, files).
If you need significantly more space, you can buy it for a small amount per month. To see current tariffs: just open the “Yandex Disk” application and at the bottom of the window click on the “Buy more” link (see screenshot below).
For example, today “extra” 100 GB costs only 67 rubles/month. If you need much more, for example, 1 TB, you will have to fork out 167 rubles/month.
How to upload files and photos to disk
On Windows
This question is usually asked by people who have not yet worked with Yandex disk. In general, everything is actually very simple: first you need to open the disk (you can use the tray icon, see screenshot below).
After some time, the files will be downloaded: opposite them you will see small green checkmarks (synchronized). See example below.
By the way, it is not necessary to launch the Yandex Disk application: for example, in Explorer (Windows 10) there is a link to the folder with the disk. Just open the desired directory and copy files into it (if you have synchronization enabled in the application settings, the files will also be sent to the cloud).
For automatic download photo on Yandex disk:
- launch the application;
- then in the menu open the “Settings” tab;
- enable auto-upload of photos via Wi-Fi (or even select the “Over any network” option if you use unlimited internet on the phone);
- Now all photos will be automatically uploaded to Yandex disk. Even if something bad happens to your phone, you can quickly restore all your pictures. Reliable and convenient!
How to make files available for download by other users
Option 1
If you use the Yandex Disk application, this is done very quickly - just select a file or folder and click on the “Copy link” button in the menu.
Option #2
Option #3 (if we are talking about Android)
First, open the Disk application and go to the desired directory.
How to set up automatic copying of my documents to a cloud drive (backup!)
Everything is quite simple. I'll look at it step by step.
1) First, open the Yandex disk settings (to do this, you can use the tray icon next to the clock. See the screenshot below).
2) Next, I immediately recommend going to the “Advanced” tab and checking that synchronization is enabled (that is, all created and modified files in your folder on your hard drive will be immediately uploaded to the Yandex disk in auto mode (that is, duplicated) )).
3) In the "Basic" tab, check that the program starts automatically. Then open the folder location settings.
4) Look where the folder that will be synchronized with the cloud is located (if necessary, move it to another HDD partition).
5) Now open Explorer, right-click on the system Documents folder and open its properties. Example below.
Open File Explorer and go to the properties of the Documents folder.
6) In the "Location" tab, click the "Move" button and move it to any of the folders located in "C:\Users\alex\YandexDisk" * (* the path is shown as an example, you will have your own directory - see point 4 just above, where we looked at directories in the application settings) . Those. we are moving our system folder"Documents" to a folder that will be synchronized with Yandex disk.
7) Personally, I named my folder “My Documents”, into which I moved the system “Documents”. Now all files (photos, documents, videos, etc.) that fall into this folder will be automatically duplicated in cloud drive!
8) You can work with the transferred documents, both in the directory located on the HDD, and by opening the Yandex disk application. Comfortable!
Restoring a modified file
By the way, what else is captivating about Yandex disk: you can view the history of file changes. Just imagine, you edited a document incorrectly and saved it. And then they remembered that they had removed the unnecessary stuff from it... What should I do?
Additions are welcome...
That's all, good luck!
We have released a new book “Content Marketing in in social networks: How to get into your subscribers’ heads and make them fall in love with your brand.”

Alexey is a customer service manager for a large company supplying electrical equipment. His responsibilities include searching for customers, negotiations, and concluding contracts. To make the advantages of the offered equipment clear and convincing, presentations have been developed to show to clients. At meetings, Alexey is always with a laptop - the client may be interested in presentations, standard contracts, price lists. All information is duplicated for reliability. Even if problems arise with the laptop or memory cards, to access necessary information All you need is the Internet. View later, indicate your comments on the drawn up contract - the buyer can easily do this using the link, without downloading voluminous information to his computer. This approach has helped him out more than once when the laptop was forgotten at home or in the office. And the mailbox does not become full from sending large files. Convenient and reliable.
