Yandex Disk Reviews

Mega, Gdrive, Onedrive, Dropbox, Box, pDrive, Amazon’s drive offering: each of the above have some gotcha like Dropbox’s tiny free tier, Mega and a couple of the others’ overzealous deactivating of accounts if you don’t log in every couple weeks, and so on.

Yandex disk was way down my list of candidates to evaluate but holy crap it’s pretty great. It just works like a tank doing what you want, not busting your chops with dumb “user engagement” hacks like required logins or endless Google captchas.

The actual decent amount of space they give you on the free tier is the other thing that puts it over the top. I don’t make a habit of reviewing apps as an examination of my posting habits will reveal but they stand out in a crowded field.

I didn’t think anyone still offered a decent free cloud storage service, but this is pretty nice! They still offer free photo storage too! YandexDisk crashed on launch when I first tried it, but deleting and reinstalling it solved the problem.

I’ve had YandexDisk for a few months and has liked it for backing up photos to get them off my phone. I liked being able to save in folders I created. BUT HERES THE SCAM: when you get to the 10GB limit and need to buy more space, THATS WHERE THEY SCAM YOU!! First, it’s like an act of Congress just trying to find where you buy the space because you can’t do it directly from YandexDisk itself. But then when I finally did find it, I paid with my debit card and the screen said it went through but guess what? YandexDisk still says 10GB and won’t let me upload to my folders anymore. But yet the auto upload setting is working. Except I can’t load to my folders and I’ve contacted support countless times and no help. SO DO NOT USE YandexDisk!!! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND DISAPPEAR!!! ALERT!! SCAMMERS!!! It’s so bad that they’ve had to address the problem of buying storage and not getting it in their help section. That tells me this happens A LOT!!!

#1 It takes time for the feed to “pick up” the new uploads. I would show them immediately and then do the grouping.

#2 could you please add notifications for shared folders?

Thank you and keep up the good work!

I loooooove this service, website and app. My fav cloud storage.

The only thing I really miss: an ability to change playback speed of videos. I usually store educational videos on my Disk and would love to be able to do it in 1.25 and 1.5 mode. :) Pretty plz

I think I used to have a glitch on my iPad Pro that would prevent me from saving files to Files, but now it’s gone and I can say with all confidence that Yandex Disk is a truly amazing service. I’ve been using it for more than 8 years now and plan to keep using it. Cheers, guys!

It would be really nice if you could upload,notes from you iPhone,and voice notes as well.😁

I am more than upset because someone hacked my account and YandexDisk is not helping me recover my photos. I’m doing everything they tell me to do, but still nothing. I can’t get in. I can’t get my photos. There are family photos there, photos of people that I care about. I’m upset because apple recommended this to me, I think I lost the photos and I’m so very angry. I’m calling Yandex and they are rejecting my calls. I feel like nobody is helping me. I DON’T recommend Yandex and I’m so very angry with Apple.

Wow! Something new. Since when the video files from my phone starts upload to limited storage insted uploading to unlimited storage? Looks like I have to abonded this photo cloud service and move to another more efficient cloud service.

After trying every combination I could think of, I cannot get unlimited photo and video storage. I only have 271 images uploaded out of many thousands. Apparently you have to buy the 1T plan, but you are limited still, to 1T. I will be deleting what few images I’ve stored and then delete YandexDisk . There is no “real” customer contact to ask about this. I’d give no stars, but Apple can’t seem to develop the rating system to do so.

When we manually upload our pictures it would be great to ask if we want to delete these photos from camera roll instead of trying to guess and delete them manually one by one. I suggest supporting live photos as well.

If granted permission to access photos (in order to upload a particular one) will copy all your iphone photos to its cloud without notifying you outright.... Later you find that in order to remove them you have to manually select not more than 500 at once. Outrageous in times when personal data topics are so sensitive.

I trust Yandex and Kaspersky with my data way more than Google, hands down.

How about 30 dollars for 5 terabytes. And 3 terabytes for 15 dollars. and 1 terabyte for 5 dollars. Each and every month. more space and better prices. No worries if you cannot.

I can’t see their performance sometimes but when I open YandexDisk
🇷🇺🏆I can certainly feel it 💯👏👍

YandexDisk was working completely fine, then all my photos were corrupted. It’s unable to load my files, and every time I try to click on a photo it says server error. It has been like this for months and I have no clue how to fix it

been a avid fan of YandexDisk
i was ready to upgrade then 🇺🇦#STANDWITHUkraine

will yandex move out of russia??

How to restore deleted photos?

Please, add the ability to use 3D Touch on iOS to be able to access your different photo albums and please add the ability to search for different albums.

Best app ever, most useful. Highly recommend

I love it. It's nice to know my photos are safe!

They said it has unlimited storage for photos but when I upload 40
photos,THEY USE MY STORAGE.I contact the developer but I receive nothing,Yandex Support doesn’t tell me anything.

YandexDisk is terrible. It got access to my photos and started uploading it to the server however i did not give any permission for that. Please check this bloody Russian KGBs app for security reasons. It’s totally unsafe.

Looks like it doesn’t work in the USA
