What is Yandex.Disk?
Yandex.Disk is a service from Yandex that allows a user to upload their data and access it through cloud technologies. But in order not to go far into theory, let's look at how cloud technologies work.
Cloud storage - This is such a virtual flash drive that you do not need to carry with you. Here you need to make a report today and bring it to work tomorrow. You download this report to the repository at home, then come to work, download it from your account and show it to the authorities. No flash drives, disks or other media - everything is implemented using the Internet and Cloud computing.
And now back to the object under the auspices of Yandex. The Yandex.Disk technology works exactly on the same system. The company gives you free 10 gigabytes of free space into which you can upload any data format: from documents to music.

Well, for example, you can open all email attachments, plus, from your account you can view the entire download history or links to third-party files in the Yandex.Disk system.
Finally, if you have several accounts, then you can conveniently use several such repositories at once, for example, defining one for work and the other for photos.

Yandex cloud storage
One of the most popular cloud storage in Russia is the Yandex Disk cloud. Until recently, most users knew only the Yandex search engine, which, by the way, is the most popular search engine in Russia and one of the most popular in the world. To keep up with its direct competitors, M ail.ru, Google and others Yandex.Disk created many additional Internet services: mail, maps, photos, audio and video hosting. Then Yandex launched its first file sharing Yandex.People. And in the end, Yandex created its own cloud storage, allowing customers to store files, view them and have access to their files from any device connected to the Internet anywhere in the world.
If in the previous file hosting the files were deleted after a certain time, then in the Yandex.Disk cloud file storage time unlimited. That is, the files will be stored until you delete them yourself. Yandex cloud Ideal not only for storing files, but also for synchronizing data from a computer, tablet, smartphone and for sharing files with friends and colleagues. Files can be copied to the cloud using links from other accounts. The service allows you to view and listen to files of various formats directly in the cloud, without downloading to a computer ( Office, PDF, PSD, AI, CDR, EPS, TIFF, RAR, ZIP and TAR archives, mp3, AVI and others).
Files in Yandex.Disk cloud storage can be uploaded either through a browser or using a special program from Yandex. The program works on all computers and mobile devicesunder the control of a variety of operating systems. In addition, you can work with the cloud through any Webdav client. File transfer takes place over an encrypted connection.
Webdav (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) - a set of add-ons and extensions to the HTTP protocol, designed for users to collaborate with files on remote servers or cloud storage
To get started with the Yandex Disk cloud service, you first need to get yourself an email inbox I. Post (Yandex mail) and then go to the cloud page Ya.Disk.
If you don’t like working with cloud storage via a web browser interface, you can download a special Yandex Disk program
During the installation of the program, you will be prompted to install additional services: Yandex Browser, search from Yandex and other nonsense, I advise you to refuse to install them. To do this, just uncheck the boxes next to each additional option. If you want, you can always install them later.

I don’t like Yandex Disk that you cannot upload files to folders in the cloud. It is inconvenient every time to create new folders and upload files to a folder. But I like the fact that i.Disk allows you to view media files without downloading to a computer. I would also like to have a full-fledged media player with the ability to create media libraries.
A good all-in-one cloud. Tied to inbox, all files can be saved and attached directly from the cloud. You can open multiple cloud storages if you register multiple accounts. So far no one has been banned for this.

Among the most popular clouds, several main ones can be distinguished:
- 1. Yandex.Disk;
- 2. Cloud Mail.ru;
- 3. Google Drive and many others.
All these services are absolutely free, but limited by the amount of allocated memory.
The procedure for creating a storage location depends on the specific service that you decide to use. Often they all bind to your e-mail. In order to start working with such a system, first of all, you need to register in one of the selected services.
During authorization, sometimes you will need to answer a few questions. For example, when you already have google account, you will no longer need to undergo such a procedure, since you are automatically provided with access to the service.
The main element of access to your data is a program that allows you to manage it remotely. Of course, you can simply access it through the browser, but it is not always convenient.
Therefore, for this you need to download and install a special program on your device. They can be found directly in the search engine. So, for Android devices they can be found in the store.
The installation process is quite simple, after which you log in and get to your disk management page. You can safely carry out any available operations on it.
