About Yandex Disk
Yandex Disk is the file storage part of Yandex 360. It keeps files, photos and videos in the cloud and makes them reachable from a browser, a desktop app or the mobile apps. The desktop client syncs files between the computer and the cloud. Phone photos and videos can be uploaded automatically, and the service advertises unlimited space for them on paid plans.
Files and folders can be shared through links with access controls. Paid plans go up to 30 TB with uploads as large as 100 GB. A tool can bring files over from other storage platforms.
