For example, until July 03, 2017 you can get 32 \u200b\u200bGB as a gift - read the conditions for their receipt at the end of this article.

Simple analogues include a mail cloud and a google drive.

Let's set up the disk, provided that you have already created Yandex mail.

How to install Yandex cloud?

To create a Yandex disk, go to your Yandex mail, at the top of the screen click on the word DISK.

You can use the disk without even installing it on your computer, phone or tablet. Enough to have access to.

BUT, if you still want to install Yandex.Disk on your computer, read below, because it is very convenient.

A window appears asking you to install it on your computer. You can download the disk now or do it later.

I will show you how it looks like the disk itself, and then how to download it to a PC.

That's the cloud itself. A menu with your files is displayed on the left, by default several standard pictures have already been added (you can delete them at any time). At the bottom left you see how much free storage space is already in use and the link to purchase additional.

In the middle, the files and folders that you have and which you will create are displayed. Read in which you will find answers to questions: how to use the Yandex drive, add files and folders, how to configure access to files to other users, and more.

On the right you will find the download of Drive for Windows, applications for all platforms and extensions for browsers. I will show you clearly how to install a PC drive.

How to download Yandex disk to your computer (PC)?

See the screenshot above, click on the phrase Download disk for Windows.

The download of the installation file begins. I have a Google Chrome browser and the downloaded files are displayed in the bottom panel. You may have this, for example, in the DOWNLOAD folder on your computer.

Open the file after downloading.

Click START.

And the download of your Yandex drive begins.

If you wish, check or uncheck the checkbox in the installation settings and click DONE.

Done! A computer application is installed.

By default, the Yandex.Disk folder will be displayed in Explorer on your computer.

Click GET STARTED  and the disk folder on your PC will open.

The screenshot below shows how this folder is displayed on my computer.

In this case, all files that have already been downloaded are displayed on your computer. And further documents and photos that will be downloaded will be visible both on your computer and on the Yandex disk itself, if you access it through.

Now you can, without entering your mail and disk, directly download files from your computer directly to a folder on your Yandex.Disk PC.

How to get extra space on Yandex Disk to store your files?

As I wrote at the beginning of the article, you are immediately given 10 gigabytes of free space. Further you can increase this place by paid or free methods.

With paid it is clear, I want to stay for free. Yandex periodically holds promotions in which they give additional storage space for fulfilling certain conditions.

For example, from April 3 to July 3, 2017, an action is held, according to which you can get 32 \u200b\u200bGB for free. To do this, you need to install a mobile application on your phone and upload at least 1 photo or video to it. Read more on the official website or in the screenshot below.

And in the comments write, do you use Yandex Disk and how?

Sincerely, Lyubov Zubareva

Yandex drive  - One of the services from Yandex, and its main feature is cloud data storage. That is, the ability to store some files (programs, documents, music and more), both on our computer and simultaneously in the "cloud", that is, on the servers of Yandex.

This is a very convenient feature, especially when you are working on a laptop and computer, for example. Or use a PC at work. You no longer have to constantly copy the necessary files to the USB flash drive, either. We simply use the Yandex drive folder on the computer and all files are copied to the "cloud" via the Internet. In order to access these files on another computer or even a phone, it will be enough to enter your password and login on the site, or install a special program.

You can also easily share your files with other people by providing them with a personal download link. In a word, let's take a look at the Yandex drive registration process and the basics of work with you.

To begin with, it’s worth saying that if you have already managed, for example, to create mail, you can safely skip this step. Since having one account from Yandex, you can use it in absolutely all services.

And we will continue.

To go through the process registration in Yandex Disk just enter the minimum amount of your data, come up with a username and password. All this at: https://passport.yandex.ru/registration?mode\u003dregister. By pressing the yellow button " Sign up»Our account will be created.

Now in the same browser we open the Yandex.Disk site. Here is the link: https://disk.yandex.ru/client/disk. And we are welcomed here, and immediately offered download Yandex Disk  - a program with which we can easily manage our files. Click the button at the bottom of the window Download Disk for Windows».

Now need install Yandex Disk. The process is easy. Just run the downloaded file.

And we wait until the necessary files are downloaded from the official site.

After that, uncheck so as not to change and do not install anything superfluous, and then click the "Finish" button.

Yandex Disk installation is complete and in just 5 steps we are introduced to the program’s features:

1. The ability to store data, work with them on any device, share with friends.

2. You can start Yandex Disk using the icon in the Notification Area.

3. Transfer files to the Drive folder and wait for the download to access them from any device (laptop, PC, smartphone, tablet).

4. You can share files simply by copying the link with the right mouse button on the file.

5. And also we are reminded that there are applications for smartphones.

First of all, after installing the program, we need to run it and enter our Yandex username and password.

And on the “General” tab, change the folder where the files will be stored. By default, the system drive is selected there, which is not very good. Specify some folder on another drive, for example, (D :).

All perfectly. Now try to open this folder (which Yandex drive indicated in the settings) and place the files in it that you would like to get access to from other computers, laptops, and smartphones. This is what it looks like with me.

By the way, a green checkmark at the bottom of the folder means that the file has been successfully uploaded to the server.

And further. You can open the Yandex drive folder in a very quick way. To do this, just go to the Computer and find the Yandex.Disk icon under the disks.

Open and see your files there. You can put new ones there, remove old ones if necessary. Therefore, you can manage these files on your computer. Any changes made (deleting, editing, adding a new one) are immediately applied on the Yandex server.

If you now open Yandex Disk through or any other: https://disk.yandex.ru/client/disk, you will see your files there.

Here you can also work with them (open, delete, upload new ones). This is the easiest way to work with your files from someone else's computer. Went to yandex disk site, entered my username and password, performed the necessary work and clicked the Exit button. The changes will be saved, and when we return home and turn on our PC, the latest changes will be synchronized via the Internet.

By the way, in the latest versions of Drive, a function for saving screenshots has appeared. If you occasionally have your own computer, then perhaps this feature will be of interest to you. Pay attention to the desktop. There appeared an additional label " Screenshots in Yandex.Disk».

This is an additional utility to Disk, running which we can take screenshots: the entire screen, the selected area, the active window. Everything is your choice.

In the future, after creating a screenshot, you can edit it and save on Yandex Disk, well, it’s natural to share a link to this file if you need to provide it to your friends or acquaintances on the Internet.

I will conclude this, and if at some point you are not clear, then please ask questions in the comments - I will help as much as I can.

File hosting services in their classic form are not as popular as they were several years ago. They were first replaced by messengers that allow you to transfer files directly, and then social networks. However, the latter were also destined to outlive their time - now services that allow you to synchronize files between different devices and store them on a remote, so-called, cloud server have become fashionable. One example of such services is the Yandex.Disk cloud from the company of the same name. About him and will be discussed today.

Yandex.Disk service can work not only on a computer, but also on a mobile phone with any operating system. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether you use Android, iOS or prefer Windows - you can store files in the cloud from any device and on any platform.

check in

Obviously, to start using the Disk, you will need to create an account. By registering in Yandex, the user gets access not only to the cloud, but also to other Yandex services, such as Money (read how to credit funds to them) or Mail. To register you need:

1. Open an Internet browser and go to disk.yandex.ru.
2. Click on the “Start your Drive” button.
3. Confirm the creation of the login and go through a simple registration procedure by filling out and confirming information about yourself.

Advice! You can not create a separate Yandex account, but use the profile of social networks to enter. To do this, on the confirmation window for creating a new login, simply click on the button of the desired social network and give the application permission to use the necessary data.

Client applications

Of course, Yandex.Disk can also be accessed through the web version, but it’s much more convenient to use the service through client applications that will automatically upload to the cloud all the files that fall into the specified folder.

Computer application

As mentioned above, Yandex.Disk is available for almost all platforms, but first we’ll talk about installing it on a PC.

To install the client on the computer you need:

1. Log in to disk.yandex.ru under your previously created account.
2. Click on the “Download Disk for Windows” button or click on the “Applications for All Platforms” link to select a different operating system.
3. Download the required installation file and follow the instructions.
4. Log in to the program after installation by entering the username and password.

For phone

Now let’s figure out how to install Yandex.Disk on the phone. Everything is simple here, and the procedure does not differ from standard manipulations on installing any other smartphone applications.

Upload files

Now you need to talk about how to drop the file you need on Yandex.Disk. It can be either a musical composition, or a video clip or photo, and the procedure for this does not change. First, we’ll show you how to do this using the web version of the service. It will only be required:

1. Open a browser and go to the disk.yandex.ru page.
2. Click on the “Select” link or simply drag and drop a file from the Windows Explorer to the specified area.

Important! If you decide to install Yandex.Disk on a computer, then synchronizing files with the cloud is much easier. In Windows Explorer, in its left part, the Yandex.Disk folder will appear, where you need to transfer documents in the usual way, by copy and paste operations.

Sending content to the cloud from the phone should also not cause the user problems. It is only necessary:

1. Launch the applet on the phone.
2. Press the “+” button and select the desired document from the device’s memory.

Synchronization

To get a complete picture of the principle of the service, it’s worthwhile to understand how Yandex.Disk is synchronized with other devices. For example, a situation: some file was downloaded from the phone. You can access it immediately by opening the Drive website from your computer and logging in with your account. In the web application, you can carry out all the necessary operations with the document:

• view;
• download it to another device;
• send to a friend by generating a link.

If the Yandex.Disk client application for Windows is installed on the PC, the content will be automatically downloaded to the appropriate folder on the hard drive. By the way, the reverse circuit computer -\u003e disk -\u003e the phone works too, however, the application needs to allow access to the Internet not only via WiFi, but also through the cellular network.

I hope you have no questions about what Yandex.Disk does and why it is needed at all. Keeping up with the times is very important for a modern person, and now they claim to become a single place for storing information. Using these services, you can connect several of your devices to each other, making sure that they contain the same content that you need, which, without a doubt, is very convenient (you can read about another cloud service - Dropbox). Working documents, a playlist of your favorite songs and other content - all this is always at hand, or rather, in the cloud.

If it is easier to perceive information visually for my reader, then I can help with this. It may help to understand how Yandex.Disk video attached below works. It clearly shows the procedures for registering and downloading files, and after viewing and studying this material, there should be no problems at all.

Everyone has at their disposal some personal files. Most often these are photographs and music, less often - films and books. We are trying to save those data that are of particular value to us in the most reliable place. Some use a hard drive, flash drives and other devices to do this, allowing you to transfer files and not worry about their safety.

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

We will try to disclose the most important information about how to create Yandex Disk, how to work with it, what files and in what volumes you can upload to the cloud, and much more.

General information

First, we’ll tell you how the cloud service works and what it is for.

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

They are eternal, reliably protected and easily accessible to the owner. To, say, start using such a service, it is enough to create Yandex.Disk. We will tell in more detail about how to do this later in the text. Having an account in this service, you can really give up bulky and expensive hard drives and save your valuable files forever.

Where is the information stored?

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

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

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

File access

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

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

Limitations

The types of files that you can publish on Yandex.Disk are unlimited - upload anything there. The main limit is the amount of space that the service will “give” you. That is, if you are a novice user who has just created his account, you will receive 10 GB of space for working with your content. If you already have experience interacting with the service and you do not have enough specified space, you can “purchase” how much is needed. Read more about how to get more, we will tell further. At this stage, it is important to understand that the “ceiling” for a simple user is 10 GB.

Space increase

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

The second way with which you can expand your “Drive” is promotions and invitations of friends. For example, the first means that, paying in the store, you will receive a certain amount of additional space as a gift, which you can use in the same way. Still, for example, the service gives the client the opportunity to “earn” additional space. If you bring at least one friend, you get 512 MB of space for free. This applies to each member who signs up for your link.

How to create Yandex Disk. Detailed instruction

So, we examined some important aspects of the work of such a cloud service as Yandex.Disk. Create a folder, rename your file, open it in a separate window, transfer the link to the file to a friend and many other operations will be available to you intuitively, there is nothing new in this. In addition, the system offers each new member something like “training files” that were originally saved by default. You can “play around” with them until you figure out how the service works. Believe me, it is very fast and easy enough.

But before that you need to tell how to create Yandex Disk. Just follow our information and you can become a full member of the system.

The first thing to do is to have an Yandex account. If you have an account with Yandex.Money or some mailbox in the yandex.ru domain zone, you can say that you already have everything you need to get started. Then just log in using your username and password, and then go to the “Drive” tab. It can be seen in the top panel of the site. There will be a window offering to open the disk for your own purposes. In the same paragraph, after your consent, the standard pictures that we talked about will appear.

Work with pc

As we previously reported, one of the ways to work with Disk is a special program. You can download it directly from the service website, you will be repeatedly offered to do this. However, when downloading this software, be careful: along with it, “Yandex” tries to “slip” its auxiliary elements into the browser, some kind of advertisement and a settings package for “Yandex.Browser”. Install it all or refuse, removing the appropriate checkmarks, you decide.

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

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

Work from the browser

If you do not want to download additional software, you can do with a browser window. You just need to open the “Disk” tab in your “Yandex account”, and you will get into the system. The downside of the browser is that there is no clear synchronization of the computer with your disk; plus - that you do not need to download anything.

Mobile platforms

Even on a tablet computer or mobile phone, you can install a mobile application designed specifically for users of the service. It has an attractive design and a simple interface that everyone understands. Even if you did not have experience with the client of the program, you will understand how to create a link to Yandex.Disk. Files can be freely distributed among friends and acquaintances.

Keep the “Disk” in order!

Another point is the structure of the files, their location. Remember: as with any hard drive, as files accumulate, you need to “sort through” them a bit. Create appropriate folders with understandable names, sign your photos, music and videos: the only way you can save all the valuable information in the form that you remember it.

Conclusion

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