Cloud storage Yandex Disk allows you to store files on your servers, allocating a certain amount of free space for this. In this article we will talk about how to upload data to this service.
You can put your data on the Drive server in different ways: from using the web interface to automatically uploading from a camera or mobile device. You can also move files available via public links from other accounts. It should be remembered that the maximum allowable size of one downloaded document or directory cannot exceed 50 GB, and if you do not have the application installed, then this figure is reduced to 2 GB.
Method 1: Drive Site
“Uploading” a file using the web interface is the most understandable method from a technical point of view. We only need a browser and hands. Of course, you first need to log in to your Yandex account.
Method 2: Application
For the convenience of users, Yandex developers have created an application that allows you to operate files on Disk directly on your computer. It creates a special folder in which you can work with documents and directories, just like in regular Explorer, but with some additions.
The program is launched using a shortcut on the desktop. In order to upload files to it, you need to click the button "Download" and select them in the auxiliary window that opens.
If you need to upload something to a specific folder on the service, then you need to select it in the right block and drag the document into the application window. Button "Download" works in this case too.
Method 3: Moving files from other accounts
One of the functions of Yandex Disk is the creation of public links that open access to your files to other users. If you were given such a link, then with its help you can either download a document or folder directly to your PC or transfer the data to your account. This is done simply: after going to the page, click the button "Save to Yandex.Disk".
The file will be placed in the folder "Downloads".
The service allows you to save all photos from your social accounts to Drive. This is done like this:
Yandex Disk offers its users the function of automatically uploading photos taken with a smartphone or camera to their account. You can activate it in the program settings, for which you should follow these steps:
Conclusion
As you can see, uploading files to Yandex Disk is quite simple: choose the most convenient method for yourself and get the opportunity to always have the necessary data at hand.
Yandex.Disk is a client of the cloud service of the same name from the famous Russian search engine. It allows you to access your own online storage in which you can save any data. Data stored in the cloud can be easily accessed from any computer or portable device. If you have ever worked with cloud services before, then you won’t have to spend a long time understanding the features and functions of this client. Yandex.Disk is an analogue of Dropbox and Google Drive. It differs from its competitors only in its close integration with other search engine services.
In total, the user is provided with 3 GB of free space. The available space on the server can be increased at any time up to 10 gigabytes. The client is very simple and easy to configure. To connect to your personal storage, you can use your Yandex Mail username and password.

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
Good time everyone! Today we will talk about such a Yandex application as Yandex Disk. Yandex disk is very convenient because you can store your files in the cloud and have access to them from any device, anywhere. This means that you do not need to carry a flash drive with you.
Lately, some people are often having problems with the application. Observant users have certainly noticed that this program is updated frequently. The latest version is very different from the previous ones, and after the update it happens that the program produces errors during operation.
In addition, Yandex disk has another good opportunity. If you need to send someone a file, especially a “bulky” one, then it’s easier for you to upload it to disk and send the recipient a link to this file. How to do this, as well as the download itself to the Yandex disk, will be discussed in this short review.
How to provide a link to Yandex Disk to download a file?
In the upper left corner we see a blue button labeled “Download”. Click it and the Explorer folder on your computer will open, from where we select the file. After selecting it, you will see the following window in which the file is downloaded.
When the file is downloaded, its download window will be highlighted in yellow. You will see two lines nearby. One will contain the address for a link to the file, and the second will contain the inscription “upload to social networks”.
As a result, you will see the link itself, highlighted in blue, which you can either copy and place where you need it, or forward it. Or you can directly use one of the social media posting options below.
This can be done with either a file or a folder. And one more option. The browser usually shows the disk icon, unless you have enabled it in the panel.
How to disable automatic photo uploading to Yandex Disk?
Yandex Disk works not only as a program installed on a computer, but also as an application on a phone. Moreover, when working with the application, you can automatically download pictures to disk. This feature is demonstrated every time you connect different devices.
This setting is activated immediately when installing the application. At the same time, if you open the program settings, you will see a checkmark in the “Startup” tab.
Stop uploading a file to Yandex
When downloading any files to disk, sometimes it becomes necessary to cancel the download. Either you selected the file by mistake, or you simply changed your mind. When you clicked the “Download” button in the browser on the page and the download began, you can interrupt it by clicking on “Cancel downloads.”
In addition, it is possible to configure the synchronization of individual folders and files. In this case, to stop the download (same synchronization) it is enough to delete the file from the configured folder or move it to another folder.
Increasing the speed of downloading files to the Yandex disk
You can increase your download speed only by changing your Internet tariff, thereby increasing its overall speed. You can disconnect all other devices from the Internet at the time of downloading. Setting up synchronization of individual files and folders has already been mentioned above (relevant for older versions of the application).
If we talk about the convenience and speed of downloading files, then it is best to download files, especially those larger than 2 GB, directly through the program. Why open our application, where we select the folder to download, then select the folder on your computer from where the file will be downloaded, and simply drag and drop it. It will immediately appear on the Yandex disk.
Yandex disk, file upload error, what to do?
The error of downloading files to Yandex disk is quite common, the reasons for it are different, ranging from problems with equipment and ending with problems with the Internet.
If the file cannot be loaded onto the disk due to insufficient space, then you need to delete unnecessary files. Moreover, delete not only from disk space, but also empty the trash. Because the files are not deleted on their own first - they are moved to the trash.
There may also be a reason that the file is being used by another program. It seems to have been downloaded to disk, but it shows with an error. Check the availability of the file again to see if it is busy and upload again.
Well, check out different copying methods. Through the browser, download volume can be limited. Yandex recommends downloading large files through the program¸ and not through a browser. These are, so to speak, problems arising on the user’s side.
And the most common and common cause of file download errors lately is frequent application updates from developers. Several times I solved this problem by uninstalling the existing updated version of the program. And I installed the previous one on which everything worked. This is done through the “Control Panel” - “Programs and Features” - “Uninstall a program.”
As a rule, the program works normally after such an operation. Some time passed, the disk was updated again, but no more problems arose. The developers are fixing the program. If the data you store in this cloud application is critical, you can disable updates altogether (photo above).
With each new version, the program settings are simplified. In the latter, the same synchronization is already configured on the screen for each folder separately, and not through the “settings” menu. Not difficult. And finally, a short video tutorial on uploading files to Yandex disk:
That's all for today, see you again!
