Now, when the creation of this or that content is available to everyone, and practically anywhere, cloud data storages, which can be connected from any device, have become widespread. To do this, you can use any of the many data storage services. For example, such as Yandex.Disk. You can send a file through this service absolutely free, since it provides each user with 10 gigabytes of virtual disk space.
To be able to store and share files, you need an account on the Yandex service. After registering an account, a menu button will appear in the upper left corner of the web page, when you click on it, a list of all the services available to the user, including the disk, will open.
Upload files to the cloud
In the main window of the service, the user can configure all the necessary parameters for work, as well as directly download the necessary files. There are two ways to do this:
- click on the "Download" button, and then select the files available on the computer;
- open the folder with the files, and then manually drag them into the browser window.
The process of downloading files will begin, which will be displayed in the dynamic menu. When the operation is completed, you can send the file via Yandex.Disk, either using a direct link or by sending it to social networks. Similar operations are available from the main window. To do this, right-click on the desired file, then click "Share" in the context menu. The service will offer to copy the link, send it to one of the social networks or generate a special QR code that can be read from a tablet or smartphone.
Download multiple files
In cases where there is a need to send several files at once, the sequence of actions will be similar. Unless the files will need to be grouped in advance. This is done in two ways:
- Drag and drop the data directory into the service window in the browser directly from the computer.
- Creating a folder and moving files to it in the cloud itself. All relevant operations are carried out using the context menu, but simple drag and drop is also available.
You can send files through Yandex.Disk using these methods or by creating an archive. It should be borne in mind that images or video files are not subject to compression. Yes, and time for large volumes will take much more. Therefore, this method is suitable for sending documents and similar content.
High volume files
Often there are situations in which the size of the downloaded file exceeds 2 gigabytes. In this case, downloading from the browser will fail: such data volumes are not supported by Internet browsers. How to send a large file via Yandex.Disk, the service itself will tell. At the boot stage, the system will promptly display a warning by displaying next to it a link to a special application for the Windows operating system. With it, you can work with files of any size. Interaction with the program is similar to navigation in a regular Windows Explorer, so the user will not have any special problems.
Downloading files from the cloud
It doesn’t matter from which particular device the user will process the received link, as owners of any gadgets based on various operating systems can send files to each other through Yandex.Disk. The main thing is to have access to a worldwide network. If you just need to download the files, you won’t need an account on Yandex. However, those who wish to use the option "Save to Yandex. Disk" will have to create it or enter an existing one.
Currently, the storage period of files in the Yandex cloud is unlimited. This applies not only to premium tariffs with increased storage capacity (+100 GB for 80 rubles per month or + 1TB for 200 rubles per month), but also the basic free package available to everyone.
