A program for creating screenshots from Yandex.Disk. 3 in one!

We can talk about the Yandex company and its products for a long time. Software developers have tried to cover all possible needs of PC users. One of the company's most popular products is Yandex.Disk. It not only frees up the “territory” of the computer, providing its own “areas” for storing important information, but also provides the user with the ability to create screenshots - the entire screen or its fragments. This function is easy to use and convenient because it automatically uploads the created images to Yandex.Disk, so that everything is always at hand, no matter where a person is physically located at the moment. This article will talk about how to take a screenshot through Yandex Disk.

A screenshot of the entire working area of ​​the screen is performed by traditionally pressing the PrtScr key or using a special Lightshot screenshot program. To “photo shoot” the selected areas, you need to use a special tool called “Screenshot Editor”. It is launched through the shortcut created when installing Yandex.Disk, or using the Alt hotkeys (Alt+PrtScr).

In order to take a screenshot, you need to click on the Yandex.Disk icon. Then select “Screenshots” in the menu and then “Take a screenshot...” depending on the object.
