How to open access to Yandex disk. How to share a file. Installing the program on your computer. Set up shared access to a folder How to change a file on Yandex disk

You can share folders on Drive with friends or colleagues. Once they have access, they will see a copy of the shared folder in their Drive.

Changes you make to a shared folder (such as renaming or adding a file) will be visible to all participants. Information about the changes will also be displayed in their History.

Full folder access will allow members to edit your files and upload new ones. This way you can work on the same data together.

Note. You can create 50 shared folders and accept invitations to 50 other users' folders.

Folder access

Access rights

When sharing a folder, you can grant the participant the following rights:

View only - permission to view and download files from the shared folder.

In this case, the participant will not be able to change or add files either on the service page or using programs or applications. (The Yandex.Disk program does not synchronize changes that a participant with limited access has made to a shared folder on his computer.)

Full control - permission to upload new files, change files (rename, edit, publish) and delete them.

Access to individual files and folders within a shared folder is not configurable. Folder members lose access to a file in a shared folder if the owner or Full Control member deletes the file or moves it to a private folder.

To see who has access to a folder, select the folder and click in the top bar.

In the same window you can:

change access rights;

deny access to participants (a copy of your folder will be deleted from their Drives).

The new permissions will be automatically applied to the shared folder member as soon as they are changed.

Are other people's folders taking up space on my Disk?

No, a shared folder only takes up space on its owner's Drive. When you accept the invitation, the service will copy the entire folder to your Disk, but the space occupied by the folder will not be taken into account. Therefore, you can accept an invitation to access a folder of any size, regardless of the size of your Disk.

If you run out of space on your Drive, you won't be able to upload files to a shared folder, even if you're not the owner of the folder. For uploading to a shared folder to be available, there must be some free space on your Disk, although the files will not take up space.

How to quickly navigate to a shared folder?

A list of folders that you have opened or accessed can be seen on the page. Each shared folder is marked with an icon.

Actions on shared folders

All members can rename and move the shared folder in their Drive. This does not affect granted or received access rights in any way.

Each participant can refuse access to the shared folder by deleting its copy from their Drive.

A member with View Only access can view and download files from the shared folder.

Note. If you want to, but cannot, edit or delete a file from a shared folder, ask its owner for full access to the folder.

Good day!

To quickly transfer files to other people, and even between your PC, laptop and phone, it is very convenient to use Yandex disk (cloud file storage service). 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, Excel and Power Point documents online (without installing anything on your PC). It's very convenient!

Not to mention that information on cloud drives is more reliably protected from various misunderstandings (viruses, file system problems, erroneous formatting, etc.) than on a classic HDD. Those. it makes sense to send some of the information to the cloud for backup (by the way, it can be done automatically, more on that 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 such 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. In order to see the current rates: 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).

To automatically upload photos to Yandex disk:

1. launch the application;
2. then in the menu open the “Settings” tab;
3. enable auto-upload of photos via Wi-Fi (or even select the “Over any network” option if you use unlimited Internet on your phone);
4. 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 to the 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!

Hello, dear friends. Today I will tell you about Yandex.Disk cloud storage. This is a piece of virtual space that is available to every owner of a Yandex mailbox. Initially, you will have 10 GB of disk space at your disposal. But you can increase this volume to 20 GB, and this is not at all difficult. Of course, this volume is enough to store the most important and frequently used information. If this volume is not enough for you, I advise you to pay attention to a similar service, where the volume can be increased to 1 TB.

In general, information posted in Yandex.Disk will be available to you and the people with whom you share it from any device with Internet access. For example, I constantly use the files I need from my smartphone, computer, tablet, depending on where I am. And this is very convenient, I almost forgot about flash drives and other removable media.

So, as I already said, the service can be used from any device using the web interface or through special applications installed on a computer or smartphone.

And using the Yandex.Disk application on your computer, you can take screenshots in a matter of minutes and share them via the Internet.

Well, now about everything in order.

Working with Yandex.Disk via the web interface

So, in order to start using the service, you must have a registered account in the Yandex search engine. I wrote about how to do this.

To enter the main page of the Yandex.Disk service, you need to follow the link: where you will be asked to either log in with your account or go through a simple registration procedure.

By going to the web interface, you will have access to several folders created by default, a trash can and a couple of documents. And everything is ready to go.

How to create folders on Yandex.Disk

To create a new folder, you need to click on the button in the pop-up window on the right, enter the name of the new folder and click the left mouse button anywhere, or press the Enter key on the keyboard.

Opening a folder is carried out, just like on a computer, by double-clicking the left mouse button.

How to upload files to Yandex.Disk

Uploading files is quite easy, and you have two ways to do this.

Method No. 1

First open the folder, select the necessary files through Explorer and drag them into a special field, as shown in the figure.

Once the download is complete, you will have the option to upload more files or make a public download link.

Method No. 2

The second method is to use the button "Download". Also open the folder, then click on the “Download” button, select the desired file and click the button "Open".

How to make a public link to a file in Yandex.Disk

In order to share a file or folder from your disk, that is, provide a download link, you need to select the file and switch the switch to ON.

How to share a folder in Yandex.Disk

Yes, and there is such a possibility. By organizing shared access to a folder, you give the opportunity to use this folder and its contents to other users who have an account in Yandex. That is, when you add users who have access to a folder, this folder will appear in their Yandex.Disk.

To organize sharing, you need to select a folder and click on the button "Make the folder public".

Now you must specify the email addresses of the people to whom you provide access, assign rights (full access or view only) and click the button "Invite".

Invitation and assignment of rights

How to delete files and folders from Yandex.Disk

To delete, you also need to mark the desired files or folders and click on the button "Delete".

Or you can, just like on a computer, simply drag the file to the trash icon. In both the first and second cases, all deleted files are placed in the trash before deletion. Therefore, you always have the opportunity to either restore files or empty the trash.

How to rename, move and copy files in Yandex.Disk

In order to rename, move or copy files, you first need to select them and click on the “more” button, and then select the desired action.

Renaming, copying, moving

You can also view documents, edit graphic files and listen to music through the web interface. To do this, just select a file and, in accordance with the type, you will be asked to (view, edit, listen).

Installing the Yandex.Disk program on your computer

Using Yandex.Disk, it is very convenient to install the application on your computer, smartphone, tablet. Then automatic synchronization will occur and you will work with the programs you are familiar with, and Yandex.Disk will be like another disk on your computer.

To install the program on your computer, you need to go to Yandex.Disk through a browser and click on the “Download Disk for Windows” or MacOS link.

After that, you need to wait until the program is completely downloaded and installed on your computer.

Working with Yandex.Disk through a program on a computer

First you need to connect your account. To do this, you need to click on the disk icon and enter your username and password to log in.

Connecting an account through the Yandex.Disk program

Now, automatic synchronization will take place and a separate disk with folders and files of your Yandex.Disk will appear on your computer.

Working with files and folders (copying, renaming, deleting) in Yandex.Disk is done in the same way as with other files on your computer. The only difference is that you will have access to these files from any device. And also when working with these files, using the right mouse button, you can apply the actions described above (obtaining a public link, setting up public access).

Create a screenshot (screenshot) using Yandex.Disk

By installing the program on your computer, you have the opportunity to take screenshots. Now you don't have to install additional programs. I use this function very often when preparing screenshots for my articles. The program works very quickly, you can make a signature, point with arrows, cut out the desired area, and so on.

So, in order to take a screenshot, press the following key combination:

Full screenshot: PrtScr

Single window snapshot: Alt+ PrtScr

Snapshot of an area: Ctrl+Shift+1

Immediately after taking the picture, an editing window will open where you can polish your screenshot.

This simple but very convenient function will appear to you after installing the Yandex.Disk program on your computer. For example, before I only worked in Photoshop, but now the work on preparing screenshots has become easier. I also take screenshots using the application.

How to expand Yandex.Disk disk space

Going to the page for increasing disk space, click on the “Invite friends” link.

Ways to attract friends

I usually recommend a link because I'm used to recommending affiliate products that I've reviewed. Here too, I am not ashamed to recommend a convenient and useful service and at the same time insert my link. And if, for example, you install Yandex.Disk on your computer using my link, I will receive an additional 512 MB, and you will receive 1 GB of disk space.

It’s good for you and I’m happy. Here is a scheme for increasing disk space.

This concludes the main features of Yandex.Disk. The only thing I didn’t touch on was the ability to attach files from Yandex.Disk to a letter. Well, this is more about the topic about the Yandex mailbox.

Also watch the video version of the article, because visual information is remembered 80% better:

That’s all for today, install and use a very convenient and useful tool from Yandex. I wish you all good luck, and see you on the pages of my blog.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Yandex Disk, which will be discussed in this article, has been around for quite some time, and I actively use it for downloading, storing, and whatever else.

The very idea of ​​cloud storage and data synchronization (it was first embodied in a product in 2010) is very promising and is finding an increasing number of fans among Internet users.

I have not yet had time to test all the cloud products on the market, except for Dropbox, and, but I was impressed with the capabilities of Drive.

With it, you can upload all the data that is important to you to the cloud and store it there for as long as you like.

You can work on documents located in the cloud in the office, at home, and on the road, receiving via disk free access to Microsoft Office Online.

In this case, everything will be quickly synchronized, and device failure will not lead to the loss of files, duplicates of which were automatically uploaded to Yandex.

In addition, you can upload files to Yandex Disk not only for storage, but also for transferring them to your friends, and there will be no time restrictions on their storage (using the link received, the user will be able to either download files up to 50 GB in size, or view the object you downloaded directly in the cloud storage, or save it on your Disk).

You can work with this service either through a special program for a PC or laptop, or through a mobile application. We will talk about all this in detail in the continuation of this publication.

7 reasons to choose Yandex Disk

As I already mentioned, there are quite a lot of cloud services. They are all fighting for a share of the same pie (for you and me). Naturally, any innovative solution applied in one service is immediately picked up in others. The decisive factors now are convenience, reliability and affordability.

Let's look at what the brainchild of Yandex can offer us that will make us want to start using this cloud and even pay for it. Let's go...

When you install the Disk application on your mobile phone or tablet, you will be able to activate auto-uploading of all photos and videos taken with your gadget’s camera to the Yandex cloud.

This function itself is very convenient and exists in many competitors. But in this case, all photos and videos from a smartphone or tablet can be download unlimited.

What does it mean? Let's say you have those 10 GB that were provided to you for free immediately after registration. You install the Yandex Disk application on all your mobile gadgets (as well as, for example, on your significant other’s gadgets) and activate unlimited auto-download of media files.

All of them will fall into the “Camera” folder in your cloud, but the space they occupy will not be taken into account in your tariff. For example, the Camera folder can store terabytes of photos and videos, but you will only have a 10 GB free plan.

You can get GB of disk space for free using promotions and promotional codes

Immediately after registering with the service, you receive as much as 10 GB (free) in your undivided possession. However, in order to popularize the service, promotions are constantly held and promotional codes are distributed to receive additional gigabytes in the Yandex cloud.

You can get from tens to hundreds of GB of storage space for free and forever (no one will take it away from you). There are people who get a quarter or more of a terabyte this way for free. Here are examples of past promotions:

How can I find out about an ongoing promotion? It's very simple. You register in Drive and you will receive notifications by email about the next distribution of free gigs. As you understand, Yandex mail and the cloud are essentially one service. So, the older your mailbox (account) is, the more free gigs you will receive - 1 GB per year of existence.

Anyone can use this link to view this file (if it is a document, video or photo), or download it (to their computer or to their cloud on Yandex). Unlike Dropbox, there are no special restrictions on the number and frequency of downloads (within reasonable limits, of course). At the same time, you can upload very large files to the cloud - up to 50 GB.

The cost of purchasing additional space in Yandex Cloud is low

I’m used to storing a lot of things in a cloud service (now Dropbox) - from passwords to photos from children’s albums. It turns out to be a very large volume and I don’t have enough free gigabytes on any cloud Drive. Now I have a 1 Terabyte tariff in Dropbox and I pay $99 for it annually (about 7 thousand rubles).

If we consider this Yandex service, then 1 terabyte I'll only get up to 2 thousand rubles per year, which is more than three times cheaper.

I’m about to renew my subscription in Dropbox and I’m determined to finally move to Yandex - it’s very tempting in price and almost the same in terms of capabilities.

How to create Yandex Disk and log into your page

It’s actually very simple, but I’ll still focus on simple things that new to cloud services usually remain not fully understood. Let's be brief:

1. The disk is created in the cloud, i.e. on servers () of Yandex. This is a physical area on server hard drives that is allocated to you to store any files.
2. Access to the cloud can be obtained either through the web interface (at disk.yandex.ru), or through special programs for a PC (laptop) or for a mobile device.
3. Files from your disk will be accessible from anywhere in the world from any device, unless you lose the password to your Yandex account.
4. You can also create a copy of the disk in the cloud on your computer (full or partial). To do this, you will need to install the special Yandex.Disk 3.0 program and mark those folders from the cloud that you want to synchronize with the folder created on your computer (laptop).
5. On mobile devices, a copy of the entire Disk is not created - you can only upload the necessary files on the fly, or configure the storage of some of them in the memory of your device.
6. Remember that when you delete something from the Yandex Disk folder on your computer, you simultaneously delete it from the cloud. There is always strict synchronization here. The opposite is also true - adding something to this folder through synchronization, it will also end up in the cloud.
7. One “Disk” can be used from several computers and gadgets at once. This is even convenient, because it allows, for example, to exchange files with your “family” without sending them by mail. Moreover, for each computer you can configure synchronization of only certain directories (not all).
8. It is very convenient, in my opinion, to buy a 1 Terabyte tariff and use the cloud with the whole family. Profitable and convenient. This is not an advertisement, because there will be no profit from the fact that you buy or don’t buy the missile defense system. So, thinking out loud.

So, create Yandex Disk- first of all it’s simple create an account in Yandex(register). If you already have it, then you already have the Disk, you just didn’t know about it or didn’t pay attention. How to check?

Create or just log in?

Installation on Windows occurs in the standard way. But free cheese only comes in a mousetrap, so by default the checkboxes are checked, suggesting that you simultaneously make this a search engine, and, of course, that the same RuNet mirror will be installed.

You are free to uncheck all these boxes, but personally I like their browser, and I’ve been using their search for ten years now. So let them live:

Next, they will tell you about this wonderful program and the wonderful idea of ​​​​storing files on Yandex, which allows you to access them from anywhere in the world and synchronize the contents of the cloud and the folder on your computer, as well as share some of the files for public or personal access.

Auto-upload photos and videos to Yandex.Disk from your phone

This is one of the enticements that allows you to promote the service on the market. The thing is wonderful, In fact.

Enable auto-upload of photos and videos in the application settings

After you install the Disk application on your mobile device and launch it for the first time, you will immediately be informed about this function and asked to activate it (either only when connected via Wi-Fi, or with any type of Internet connection):

There is nothing new in this. Dropbox has been automatically synchronizing photos and videos from your phone with its storage for many years now. But the trick is that in Dropbox these files eat up the disk space allocated to you, but in Yandex they seem to don't count. Even if you throw terabytes from your phone, it will not affect the size of the space allocated to you.

Synchronization itself occurs in the background from the moment you launch the application on your mobile phone:

True, if you have set a restriction in the settings to transfer photos and video materials only when connected to the Internet exclusively via Wi-Fi, then the draining of multimedia will not begin with a regular Internet connection (Yandex takes care of your paid traffic).

P.S. When the battery charge is low, the synchronization process is slowed down. Just connect the device to the charger and everything will start uploading to the cloud again. It's the same in Dropbox.

These and others startup options available in your application settings (gear in the upper left corner on iPhone):

At all YandexDisk mobile application very similar to what I'm used to in Dropbox, and this is a huge plus for me. The same four tabs at the bottom and almost the same settings available by clicking on the gear icon:

In addition to the settings for unlimited startup, here you can also see the remaining free space in the cloud, and also set a password for the application itself (to avoid it, so to speak). I just did the latter, since I plan to keep valuable information in this repository:

Mobile photos and videos from Yandex.Disk on your computer

Now let's see where to look for these graphic and video files automatically uploaded to the cloud from your phone. Logically, in cloud storage they should be in the “Camera” folder, but there is only an invitation to install the program on a PC (why is this not clear?).

In general, you will find all the photos from your mobile phone in the “Photos” and “Latest” folders on the cloud. But that's not all. For example, it’s very convenient for me to take pictures and screenshots on my mobile phone, and then automatically open them on my computer through a cloud service. I got used to this in Dropbox and don’t want to get out of the habit.

But there are no problems here. Yandex Disk perfectly knows how to synchronize everything merged from mobile gadgets with a specially created one on your computer folder “Photos and videos from Yandex.Disk”. Another thing is that by default this option is not enabled and you will need to activate it, simultaneously selecting the storage location for all this mobile junk.

To do this, right-click on the program icon in the tray and select "Settings". Go to the last tab and check the box “Copy photos and videos to your computer so you have them at hand.”

As soon as you check this box, you will be asked in a separate window select folder location(directory), where all this stuff will be automatically downloaded. Moreover, this folder will not have to be located inside the YandexDisk folder created when installing the program. Choose a location based on available space on your computer or other criteria.

When you click “OK” and “Apply”, you will be asked if you want to immediately download the video and photo files already available in the cloud that got there from your mobile gadgets.

Agree and the process will begin, and in the future you won’t have to worry about anything - downloading new media files will happen automatically.

How to use the Yandex.Disk program

However, we got a little distracted because we were installing the Y.Disk application on our computer (or laptop). Before you start uploading your files to Yandex, you will need to log in (log in with your username and password).

Sharing files and folders via YandexDisk

All files uploaded to the cloud from the Yandex Disk folder you can make it public. Not even that.

Any file or folder on your computer you can make it public. What does it mean? Well, you can send someone a link in a letter, like, look at our vacation photos. The opponent will receive this link and, by clicking on it, will calmly look at the photos you shared in this way (or any other files).

In fact, this will turn out to be an analogue of a file hosting service, but without any restrictions on storage time.

In order to make any file on your PC public (even one that is not in the YandexDisk folder), you just need to right-click on it and select the item from the context menu “Copy link to Yandex.Disk”.

Immediately after this, in the lower left corner of the screen you will see a message that the link to this file or folder has been copied to the clipboard and you can safely send it by mail, post it on a forum or on a social network.

It is noteworthy that this way you can share not only the files already in the Yandex Disk folder, but also any others on your computer. As soon as you do this, they will be automatically uploaded to the cloud storage (the program tray shortcut will turn blue during the download), and you will receive a link that you can send to your friend, publish on the website, or do something else with it.

For example, this is what the page your opponent (to whom you sent the link) will look like if you shared an entire folder of photos with him. He can view them right here (in photo gallery format), and then, if desired, he can download them to his computer (in one archive), or upload them to his cloud on Yandex disk.

This is what a presentation file that you have made public might look like (again, you can view it directly in the cloud or download it).

Right-click on the desired folder and select "Set up access"(see previous screenshot). I’ll warn you right away - don’t be alarmed if you see a whole list of people there marked “Full access” (I was scared at first). It’s just Yandex pulling your contacts from your mail, and these are just blanks for sending an invitation and they have not yet been granted any access.

You must first send an invitation to this person, having previously indicated what level of access you will give him: Full (the ability to edit and delete) or View Only. An invitation can be sent to any person - if only he had an Email. He will receive a similar letter to this same email:

If this person has an account in Yandex, then after clicking on the link, he will automatically go to his Drive, accept the invitation and see there the folder that was offered to him for shared access. If there is no account, then he will first have to create one, and only then, by clicking on this link, he will see the treasured folder. Or won't he see it?

He won't see it until he presses the button. "Accept invitation" on the left menu tab "Sharing". After this, you can search for the shared folder on the “Files” tab of the same left menu.

That's all, all that remains is to transfer office files there for collaboration or create them using the built-in Disk tools and save them in this shared folder. Voila.

What can you do by logging into your page in Yandex Drive?

Well, in general it will be possible to upload files without installing the Yandex Disk program through your mail interface. When you go into it, you will see the “Disk” tab at the top. Actually, that’s how I found out about this cloud service - I received an email with a link, following which I was encouraged to try this miracle in action.

By going to this tab, you will get all the same options for managing your files in the cloud (downloading, storage accounting, moving, etc.) as when using the desktop program.

Even a little more - it becomes possible to see the basket that is taking place, as well as view objects that are in the public domain:

Files stored in the cloud, which are marked with black circles on the right, are published, i.e. available for download by anyone who knows the download link (personally, I often use Y.Disk to upload files to it that need to be transferred to someone).

You can change the access status, as I already mentioned, using the context menu of a file or folder, called by right-clicking. You can view a list of all shared files on the “Sharing” tab.

And the most delicious feature, which is available only in the Yandex cloud web interface, is, of course, ability to view document versions and the ability to restore from one of these versions. For example, while editing a text file, you could inadvertently change (erase) something, and then save the file without noticing.

But if it is stored (synchronized) in the cloud, then it’s okay. Just go to disk.yandex.ru, go to the “Files” or “Last” tab, find this file and right-click on it. From the menu that opens, select “Change History”.

In the window that opens, you will see all versions of this file for the last two weeks (with a paid plan, changes will be stored for three months). Find the version you need using the date or simply opening them all in a row, and then restore it. All.

Let's move on. Depending on their type, many of the files downloaded and stored in Yandex can not only be downloaded, but also viewed through the web interface. These are primarily text and Word documents, pictures, music files, and something else.

All the main tools that allow you to upload, create, delete and download files are in plain sight. When downloading via the web interface, you will see 10 gigabyte limit, which is due to the imperfections of some browsers. To download larger objects, you will have to use a desktop program that can pull files weighing up to 50 GB.

You can simply upload files to this cloud dragging them with the mouse directly to the Disk page opened in the browser, or by traditional digging into the depths of your computer through the “Download” button in the upper left corner of the Disk web interface.

In the download dialog, you can immediately make this object public and immediately copy a link to it.

Yandex cloud in your pocket

The interface of the mobile versions of Yandex Disk is very similar to the Dropbox I have already described (the link to the article is at the beginning of this publication). Application version for iOS (iPad and iPhone) can be downloaded, and for Android — .

You can simply use your smartphone:

Just switch your phone to photo mode and bring it to the screen - the phone itself will prompt you to follow the link:

I use Yandex disk on my Iphone SE and find it quite convenient (although I also work with Dropbox in parallel, because one does not interfere with the other). When you first enter this application, you will immediately be prompted to activate auto-download and storage of photos and videos captured on the gadget in a folder specially created in this cloud (unlimited). I have already written about this in detail and will not repeat it.

If you initially rejected startup and have now changed your mind, this option can be activated in application settings(gear in the upper left corner).

There you can also choose when to upload new photos and videos from your iPad to the Yandex cloud - when working via Wi-Fi or always:

In general, the interface of the mobile version of the YandexDisk program is very simple and understandable:

This mobile application will allow you to view most of the files stored on Yandex, and you can try to open what doesn’t work in a specialized application on your tablet or smartphone.

You can see various icons to the right of files and folders. A chain means that you have made this file or directory public (created a link to it and possibly shared it with someone). The airplane icon means "Offline mode", i.e. this file or folder is located not only in the cloud and on your gadget (in its memory).

In general, this is very convenient and significantly saves traffic. Let's say you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi at home and you can easily upload movies, photos, books, etc. to the Yandex cloud. rubbish. Then open Drive on your phone and make each of these files available offline:

For this it is enough only swipe the file with your finger from left to right (or vice versa), and select the airplane icon in the menu that opens. All files marked in this way will immediately be physically downloaded to your phone (over your free home Wi-Fi, mind you). That's it, consider yourself prepared for work.

Conveniently, all offline (already stored in the phone’s memory) files can be found on a separate tab of this wonderful application:

Naturally, you can upload files from your gadget to the cloud (the blue plus button is used for this), but there is little point in this if you have multimedia auto-download enabled. In general, Yandex Disk, in my opinion, can become a convenient way not only to store, but also to transfer files (photos, captured videos, etc.) from a smartphone to a desktop computer or laptop.

And, conversely, transferring various text files or videos to a smartphone, so that you have something to do on the way to work (at home, you can download via Wi-Fi without bothering with traffic).

Total

I like everything so far and I have a week left to make a decision about moving from Dropbox to Yandex Disk. Why am I thinking about moving? Banal redneck. Why pay three and a half times more for the same service.

See for yourself:

1. Ya.Disk now also stores file versions (change history).
2. For the same terabyte they ask for much less.
3. The mobile application is very similar both in appearance and in functionality.
4. Media files from gadgets are downloaded automatically, and even without taking into account their weight (a cool trick, actually).
5. The YandexDisk desktop program, although not familiar, is quite functional if you look at it and does exactly what I need.

Why am I hesitating? It’s trivial that I’ve tested Dropbox for years of constant use, but I still use Yandex Disk not so intensively and therefore I’m afraid that some pitfalls may emerge during the transition.

Therefore, I ask for advice from those who have been using this cloud for a long time. What do you say?

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Many people complain that in our time, having a decent text editor like Microsoft Word is quite expensive if you use original and modern software. This is probably true. However, if you think a little and work hard, you can find many, so to speak, substitutes on the Internet... For example, to create a text document like Word that is just as good, or a pretty decent presentation, just go to your Yandex mail, download and install to your computer version of Ya.Disk, and enjoy many benefits - from “presentations” to some text variations - completely free!

What does it mean? namely, that if you are at a loss... and you simply need a text editor, then this article is for you.

Using the text below, we will get acquainted in detail with the capabilities of the Ya.Disk test editor: let’s look at the nuances...

Text by points:

where is the Office online text editor located - Yandex Disk

...and this is for cloud lovers - download, install and configure...

Let's start from that step if you already have Yandex email.

...you need to know: it is noteworthy that no third-party programs are needed to work with the Ya.Disk editor in particular!! All of our document editing takes place online in an open browser window... The editor has three applications, these are: Word Online, Excel Online and PowerPoint Online and it’s easy to guess that all this cloud wealth is from the Microsoft office suite.

...if you are an active user of Y.mail, then perhaps the Yandex team will present you with additional space in the cloud: for example, I have 200 gigabytes. this is even enough to store video products...

...although it is possible to save text and other documentation files anywhere, not counting the possibility of storing them in the Disk cloud.

It's simple: go to your yandex.ru mailbox and look for the service menu at the very top of the window (the Disk cloud is automatically attached to our mail! But synchronization / for example, Disk for Windows / needs to be downloaded and installed separately).

Download the disk to your computer (or some other web gadget) easily from the personal “Disk” page

Click... and go to our Yandex Drive page...

For example:

it is possible to create in the Office text editor online Yandex Disk:

Text document (Word type). Table (Excel Online). Presentation (PowerPoint Online). Photo and album.

again, at the very top (on the left) we will see the options “Download” and “Create”... Select “Create” - the following submenu will open (screen above). As you can see, there is also a considerable selection of tools here.

Let's say we need to create a text document:

Click... a new browser window tab will open. A second loading of the editor and - before our eyes, no more and no less - the Yandex Disk text editor.

By the way: if you are roughly familiar with the work of the Word program, then there will be no difficulties at all in mastering this Yandex tool!

In general, we, average users, have more than enough opportunities here, so we shouldn’t worry bitterly that we don’t have a full-fledged Word.

I don’t even know if it’s worth describing in detail the possibilities and rules of working with the Yandex editor?! for as they say: there is nothing more valuable than personal experience.

I think you will figure out all the buttons yourself... and the corresponding work.

However, in order not to get confused when looking for my new test document, I report:

If you did not specify the storage location for all our documents (in “Save” and specify the storage folder), in this case a file of the current document will be automatically created in the main Disk folder with an approximate name as in the screenshot below:

create a presentation in Office tools online Yandex disk

In this case, select (as shown in the second screenshot) “Create presentation”...

Creating a presentation using Yandex Disk tools is also accessible to the average user; has a lot of gadgets for organizing either strict styles of the “Presentation” document, or it is possible to play with the document in cheerful colors.

As I said above:

It is possible to save textual work in various ways...

Click on the “File” section of the top horizontal menu: the following question picture will appear)

Now you should sort out your desires and save the document where it is needed for peace of mind.

As it happens, I mainly use gmail mail - a Google account has, unlike Yandex, many more features, and, moreover, the functionality is presented in original colors))

...I say this only because we need to strive to use those services that are more appropriate for you and me!

Alexandra!
