How to upload files to Yandex.Disk and how to download? Send the file to 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 a 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 the hard drive is broken, 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 must consist of Latin letters and not duplicate an existing one.
- Set a strong password – When using a vault, it is important to pay attention to security.
- 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 through the official program on your 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 mistakes when downloading large amounts of 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 the installation image to your hard drive and run it by clicking on it.
Accept the 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.
A special feature of Yandex Disk installed on a computer is its integration into the operating system. After installation, the user will see that a new disk has appeared in the “My Computer” folder. 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.
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 - but you will only need to pay money if you want to increase the size of the allocated space. And even a novice computer user can master the cloud. You just need to follow these instructions and have the desire to learn how to work with the service.
One of the most popular search engines is the Yandex system. It would seem that from the very beginning the search system had all the options necessary for the user, but in 2012 a new function appeared - storing files on a special virtual disk. Today the so-called cloud storage Yandex.Disk is very popular among users, providing good quality of work according to the stated functions.

Hello again, our dear readers!
All Internet users know what Yandex is. Everyone has heard of the numerous services that this search engine provides to the modern user.
- This is the YA browser (which we already mentioned),
- "I.money"
- "I.direct",
- “I.metrics”, etc.
Many people have long known about Yandex music and Yandex mail.
More recently, “Ya. line".
And today we will get acquainted with the Yandex Disk service, find out what it is for and how to install it on your computer. Let's learn about its capabilities and advantages. This article turned out to be a short overview of this service; I hope you find this interesting.
So, what is the Yandex Disk cloud?
This is a type of “cloud” technology; designed for storing and accessing user data. All well-known brands have had this type of “cloud” technology for a long time - Drop box, Google drive, One Drive, Mail.ru are the most popular. And their number is growing year by year. They all offer us to store our data with them... Only physically, the servers are located in America.
The name itself, “cloud,” suggests that the user stores his data not only on his computer, but also on the Internet (“cloud”). Access to data is possible from anywhere in the world where there is Internet. And if your device breaks down, “it’s no problem, all the photos that you saved in the cloud will not disappear anywhere,” the creators of the service assure us.
Moreover, services from Google and Microsoft “know how” to make copies of operating systems. Not so long ago, a similar “cloud” service appeared on our Yandex. Which was a completely logical and timely step, since Yandex is one of the flagship search engines of the Russian Internet.
Indeed, “I. Disk" allows you to save the files you want without the risk of losing them, have access to them anywhere in the world, and if you need it, you can give access to the file or folder with files to your friends and acquaintances. In this case, you do not need to send them anywhere. You simply give the right person the right link. Once on it, a person downloads the file to his computer. In this case, the file size does not matter.

Advantages and disadvantages
When installing - "disk" You are allocated free of charge "on the cloud" 10 GB of disk space. When this is not enough for you, you will need to pay a little for additional space. Or take part in promotions held by Yandex.
Yandex Disk is good for everyone. You can store files, you can publish folders. But there is also a drawback. If you store copies of your files on a “disk” without deleting the originals from your computer, then if there is a large amount of data, the free space on your computer’s hard drive may quickly run out. And if you delete a file from the Yandex Disk folder on your computer, it will also be deleted from the Yandex server. It turns out that to save space, we must completely trust the storage of our “important” “personal” files to Yandex. Whether to do this or not is up to you.
The second drawback, which cannot be avoided, is that if you installed Yandex Disk on a new computer, you will have to wait until the data is synchronized. If the volume of Disk data is large, then you have to wait quite a long time. In this case, you may not be able to quickly access files. You can do selective synchronization in the settings - mark only the most necessary folders at first, and then all the rest:
But, overall, the application is pleasant, discreet, unobtrusive. It has gotten me out of trouble many times. My overall impression of him is good. By installing it on your computer, you yourself will be able to fully appreciate all its advantages. After all, you have just completed a theoretical acquaintance.
That's all for today; choose the service you like; keep your data safe. Good luck to our readers and all the best!
Good day everyone! 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. The basic version of 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, 10 GB is free, and even accessible from everywhere.
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 create a mailbox from Yandex(if you already have one, go straight to the second point).
4. Installing Yandex.Disk on a smartphone. Free apps are available for iOS and Android, so you can easily download them from the App Store and Google Play. The application for iOS does not have a very high rating, there are some shortcomings, all of which 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 cloud space 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 additional disk space, and the invited friend will receive 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 the Yandex main page while logged in to your email. In the upper right 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 important point, because of which we took all these actions -. Again, there are several ways to do this:
1. Via context menu. Select the file that needs to be uploaded to the Cloud, right-click on it 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 there is one more additional advantage - 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 a regular application - use standard operating system tools.
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.
Yes, you've probably heard more than once that files are stored in the cloud. This is a figurative expression, the so-called place, disk space on the Internet, where you can upload files and access them from any device that supports this service. Cloud services are usually owned by large technology companies (only they can afford it). These companies make money by providing access to the cloud for extended accounts (and also by displaying advertisements for the web version of the service). As a rule, extended accounts are very affordable, and most likely you will pay for a subscription once you try to work, for example, in Yandex Disk. We are starting to work in Yandex Disk as the most accessible and understandable cloud service in Russia.
It turned out to be a big introduction, I want to tell you as much as possible. Therefore, let's go through the main issues:
Why Yandex Disk? Yandex is a well-known technology company. A lot of users create accounts on Yandex (create mail), which means they will be able to view the company’s cloud service, which is discussed in the article.
We're talking about the Yandex cloud, what does Disk have to do with it? The disk is the cloud.
You can access the disk through a browser (view documents stored there, and also edit).
You can access the disk through the client. Everything that gets into the client is synchronized to the cloud.
You can access the disk from your smartphone through the application.
Remember. The original files are stored on the server, but you have local copies. Therefore, having deleted a file on your device, in the cloud this file ends up in the trash.
Is it clear where to start, how to access Yandex Disk? You should start by registering in Yandex. Create an account, and then follow the steps:
1. Having created an account on Yandex, download the Yandex Disk application to your computer, or the Yandex Disk application to your mobile device (Yandex Disk can even be downloaded to a Smart TV);
2. Install the application on your computer - enter registration data. Yandex disk will launch automatically, you can see it in the taskbar tray;
So what do we have? We have a Yandex account, and the disk can be accessed from a browser. We also have Drive installed on a computer running Windows 10, and we can work with files through the application.
How does Yandex Disk work through a browser?
Through the browser, Yandex Disk acts as a tool that can provide you with quick access to data stored on it + the ability to create directories, files and edit certain types of files.
To log into Yandex Disk through a browser you need to:
1. Log in to Yandex, as you do when you work with mail;
3. We find ourselves in the Yandex Disk work area (files and directories are uploaded/created and edited here);
4. Click the create button - Folder;
5. We created a folder in the browser - now this folder is accessible from the computer.
How Yandex Disk works through the application on Windows 10
1. Earlier in the examples, we created a folder in the cloud through a browser in Yandex Disk;
2. Go to the desktop, on the computer where Yandex Disk is installed and enter the same account as in the browser;
3. Open the application from the tray (right mouse button) - ;
4. The Yandex Disk application will open, which contains the folder we created;
5. Click on this folder and the option will open - Save to computer. Now this folder is synchronized on our computer;
