Yandex.Disk is a multifunctional and convenient cloud service that allows you to store files of different formats, quickly download them, send and share photos with friends and family. Not all users know how to do such a simple action as downloading photos using a PC, browser version or application on a smartphone. The article will describe all the available ways to download photos from a gallery to Yandex disk, through which devices this can be done, and we will analyze typical problems when using the service.
Via an application on your phone
Modern smartphones have replaced digital cameras a long time ago, so it’s easier to upload photos, for example, from amateur shooting to a Yandex disk through a gadget, directly using a proprietary program. Mobile utilities for devices based on iOS and Android offer users to download both already stored photographs from the smartphone’s memory, and take photos directly in the application, uploading the photo to a cloud service.
To get started, you should download the application from the App Store (for iPhone) or Google Play (for Android smartphones), it is completely free.
After downloading, there are 2 ways to upload photos: manual and automatic. Let's look at each in detail, describe and tell you how to use both methods and choose the most suitable one for yourself.
Important! Do not forget that when using any of the methods listed below, you will need to register with Yandex. If you do not do this, you will not be able to send the desired photo to Yandex disk, since the files are uploaded to an individual account.
Manual method
On devices of any brand and company, the procedure is identical. So, to save the necessary photos on Yandex disk, follow these steps:
- Launch the downloaded Yandex.Disk , which appears on the main screen of your device.
- Log in using your Yandex account username and password.
- Click on the icon «+» in the upper right corner of the application (for iPhone) and at the bottom (Android).
- Next, the utility will offer several actions: select an existing photo, capture the moment and immediately send it to the storage memory, create a new folder.
- Click on the appropriate option, marking the photo from the gallery, highlighting everything you need. Wait until the files are downloaded and finally click on “Finish” .

Who can access my files on Yandex.Disk?
This depends on the settings made for the file. A file uploaded to Yandex.Disk can be: 1) personal (available only to you using your Yandex.Mail login and password), 2) or public (available to those to whom you have given a link to download it). Anyone who receives a link to your file can download it even if they don’t have their own Disk. This means that in any case the user will be able to download the file.
All settings made for files also apply to Yandex.Disk folders. A Yandex.Disk folder can also be public or private.
How to provide a link to download a file from Yandex.Disk and how to share it on a social network?
The file uploaded to Yandex.Disk must be made public. Then the Yandex.Disk service will provide a link to download it.
Rice. 4 (Click to enlarge). How to provide a link to download a file uploaded to Yandex.Disk?
To make a file on Yandex.Disk public, you need to select it. Click on it with the mouse (number 1 in Fig. 4).
When the file is selected, the top menu will appear, in which we click “Share” (2 in Fig. 4). Next to the link there is a toggle switch (3 in Fig. 4). If the toggle switch is green, then there is a link to the file. The presence of a link is indicated by a chain icon opposite the file (5 in Fig. 4).
If the link to the file is not needed, you should click on the green toggle switch (3 in Fig. 4). The toggle switch will turn from green to gray. The link to the file will be removed. The chain icon (5 in Fig. 4) will disappear. So, with one click on the toggle switch, the file receives a link or loses it.
You can immediately send a link to the file to anyone. To do this, you can click “Copy link” (number 4 in Fig. 4). Then you can open mail, instant messenger or anything else, press two Ctrl+V keys and paste a link to the file.
If you click on the social network buttons, you can send a link to the file to Facebook, VKontakte, or Odnoklassniki. You will need to select a social network from those that are in the menu in Figure 4. Then enter your username and password to log into the social network. The file will be posted on the selected social network.
You can also get a QR code instead of a regular link to a file (Figure 4).
