All about the Yandex Disk service - how to install and use. How to upload files to Yandex disk

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;


Yandex.Disk is a file storage (cloud) from the Yandex company. Anyone can receive it after registration. 10 GB of space is allocated for free. Forever!

On a note . Cloud storage is a modern file sharing service. Information there is stored not in one place, but on many small servers that are located in different parts of the globe. The main advantage is the extremely low probability of data loss.

The cloud is convenient, because to access stored information you just need to have the Internet. This makes it easy to receive and transfer various files, including large ones.

Cloud from Yandex

The Yandex website has been distributing free “clouds” to everyone for several years now. There you can store files and transfer them to other users. And not only within the system - you can get a link through which anyone can download the file. In addition, the service allows you to set up automatic uploading of photos from your phone, tablet and other devices.

All this is called Yandex.Disk. To get yourself such a thing you just need to register in the system. And for those who have mail on Yandex, the cloud is available without registration.

According to the creators of the service, the storage period of data on it is unlimited.

How to log into Yandex.Disk

If you don't have it yet

A free 10 GB disk is given to anyone after registering in the system. But if you have mail in yandex.ru, then you don’t need to specifically receive it - just go to the mailbox, and there, at the top, click on “DISC”.

If there is no mail, then to get a cloud, you will need to register in the system:

1 . Open the website disk.yandex.ru and click the “Start your own disk” button.

2. Answer a few questions about yourself and click “Register”.

Upon completion of registration, you will immediately be able to use the service.

Just be sure to write down your chosen username and password in a safe place. After all, these are login data - without them you will not be able to get into the cloud.

If the Disk already exists or once existed

This means that in order to get into it, you need to log in to your page. This can be done on the official website disk.yandex.ru. Simply type your username/password at the top and click “Login.”

You can also get there through the main page of yandex.ru. First, we enter the mail through the rectangle in the upper right corner of the site.

Well, from mail we go to Disk.

How to use

You can use Yandex.Disk like this:

  • Via the web interface, that is, through the site directly in the browser.
  • Through the program: download/install it on your computer.
  • Via mobile application: install on your phone or tablet.

Web interface

This is what the disk looks like when we open it in a browser (internet program):

Usually there are already several photos, a video and a folder with music. The system creates them automatically so that the user can become familiar with all the capabilities of the service.

For example, pictures can not only be viewed, but also edited: rotated, cropped, brightened, etc.

How to upload your files. To add your file to the cloud, you need to click the “Upload” button, which is located at the top of the page.

A window (explorer) will open, from which we select the file and click the “Open” button. Well, or just double-click on it with the left mouse button.

After downloading, the file will be added to Disk. Now it will be stored both on your computer and in the cloud.

1 . Place the cursor over the file or folder that needs to be transferred and check the box that appears.

You can open a file, edit it, move it somewhere, download and even delete it in the same way - through the menu on the right side.

Computer program

You can also use the cloud directly from your computer through a special program. This is convenient when you work with it often. This program can be taken from the web interface. Click on the item “Download disk for Windows” and download the program on a separate page.

After downloading, run the file and install. Here everything is as usual, the only thing is that you can uncheck the items “Install Yandex.Browser” and “Set search settings and make Yandex the home page” so that nothing unnecessary is added to your computer.

When you first launch the program, a window will open where the “Get Started” button will immediately be highlighted, but by clicking on the blue text below you can change some settings (for example, the folder where the information will be stored).

By default, all folders in Yandex.Disk will be synchronized with the computer (and vice versa) whenever the content is updated, but for individual folders you can cancel synchronization.

In addition to the program, there is an application for tablets and phones, which is very convenient for those who often use the service from these devices.

P.S.

More information on how to use the web interface, program and mobile application can be found on the official

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.

How to create an email?

The registration procedure is not complicated. Enter the required data in the appropriate fields.

I advise you to write down your login, password, and control information in a special notebook.

We right-click, select as in the photo, the system will notify us that..


After that, you can send it by mail to the right person. If you need to allow access to a file or folder only to specific people, you need to use a different method. Using the browser, go to “Ya.Disk” and select the desired folder:


Click “Sharing”; then fill in the list of required postal addresses. We invite you.

Mailing addresses must be from Yandex; if your friend also installs Disk, this folder will appear on his disk too:


It's that simple!
If access needs to be closed, open your cloud again with a browser, find the desired folder or file, select it, then turn the sharing switch to the “Off” position:


That's it, access to the folder is closed.

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!


 How to install Yandex disk and what is it for? More and more people are happy to use their Yandex mailbox as a file hosting service. I know from myself how convenient it is. If you want to live in peace, install Yandex disk. Sometimes I get so tired of downloading files from the Internet. Either your limit is over, or you get an error when downloading, or the file doesn’t exist, or you get confused in all these transitions from page to page. You spend the whole day trying to get the necessary file, but in the end you get a broken archive, or at the last percent the download stops and you are left with a full set of curses and a completely ruined mood. Common situation? What if your Internet connection keeps dropping out or barely crawling?

I, too, have failed more than once with these file hosting services. Once I desperately needed a file, and I even took the risk of choosing a paid service. They chased me around and around all the pages. As a result, they ripped off 300 rubles, and at the end they wrote that such a file does not exist. I swore for three days. Not so much because of the money, but because I was left in the “fool”. Since then I never choose payment by SMS.

Can you imagine what it’s like for a newbie who is inexperienced in all these Internet twists and turns? He's even worse! He generally cannot understand where to press and what to do. Well, if you need to transfer a file to someone, then there is generally a “pipe”.

You still need to be able to upload a file to a file hosting service, and not all files are allowed there. Someone will complain that you are using this file illegally, and it will simply be deleted. Or they might not let you in there anymore.

Mailers currently do not allow files with the extension . EXE(this is the extension for program files), so it is simply impossible to send it by mail, even in an archive. This is due to the fact that self-executing viruses can have the same extension. So this is not just the machinations of email clients - this is the safety of you and me, and there is no point in arguing about it. In general, complete “hemorrhoids”!

Get yourself one. And install Yandex disk. I already briefly wrote about this in an article, but now I want to tell you in more detail what kind of “beast” this is and what it is eaten with.

You've probably downloaded files with a picture like this more than once? Isn't it convenient? You don’t wander anywhere, you don’t itch for which button to press, there are no advertisements, and most importantly, it’s fast.

With button " Download 64 kbps "everything is clear, but what is this button " Save to Yandex.Disk "? This button is for those who have Yandex Disk installed. A very convenient and useful thing. That is why I attached all my mailboxes to Yandex mail.

If you select the “New folder” option, be sure to come up with a name so as not to confuse anything.

Please note that drag and drop can only be used if the file size does not exceed 2 GB. If you want to copy a huge file (for example, a movie), use the Windows boot loader.

Computer

While on your mail page, pay attention to the menu at the top and find the word “Disk” in this menu. That's what we need!

On the page that opens, you are prompted to download the Disk. There are versions for Windows, macOS, Linux. Feel free to press the yellow button.

Once the application is downloaded to your computer, launch the installer you just downloaded and follow the instructions.

After launching the installer, a menu appears on your screen. You need to wait a little until the green installation indicator shows 100%.

The next menu will inform you that the installation is complete. You need to synchronize the Disk with your computer. A flying saucer icon will appear in the tray. Logging in to Yandex will no longer be necessary - using this icon you will be able to manage all functions.

The drive will automatically create a folder on your computer into which it will download files contained in the cloud. In the event that you need to avoid this, configure the synchronization process in the system tray. Disable synchronization in settings.

A file synced to your computer is marked with a green check mark. This means that any changes that are made to it on the computer will also happen on the Yandex server.

You are now the full owner. Each user of the application is given 10 GB of free disk space for free.

The capacity of the disk increases over the years. The longer you use your mailbox, the more information it holds. For example, my Yandex mailbox is already quite old. It holds 48GB.

You will see the inscription: “Buy a seat.”

This means that by paying a certain amount, you will be able to increase the size of your storage on Yandex. In the event that the required size is exceeded by the downloaded files, you can buy free space.

When you press the button, a menu will appear informing you that you can buy 100 GB or 1 TB. Keep in mind that by paying, you will not get free space for eternal use.
