For so many modern people who use computer equipment daily, the days when there was a need to move the necessary files between home and work, for example, on a flash drive, have long gone. Also, many have forgotten the need to constantly carry a laptop with them, in which the necessary files are stored. And quite a lot of time has passed since teamwork on various projects required the presence of all participants in the same room or at least in the same city.
Why do we need "clouds"
All of the above examples are just a small part of the opportunities that cloud storage technology provides its users with.
Probably everyone heard about it, and many actively used Yandex. Disk, the features of working with which are described below. Why not? The volume of "Yandex. Disk" allows the average user to refuse to use various physical media for data transfer, and most importantly, save a lotamount of time - the necessary files are available at any time and almost anywhere, but it is important that there is access to the Internet.
What is "cloud" storage of information
To fully understand the principles of the services in question, you need to at least superficially familiarize yourself with the theory.
"Cloud" as a data storage is represented today by an online storage model, which uses the principle of storing data on a large number of servers distributed in the global network. These servers are provided to customers for use by a third party. The main difference between the "cloud" storage model and the principle of data storage by the user using dedicated, own servers, which are purchased or rented specifically for solving such problems, is the lack of "visibility" by the client of the internal structure of the servers, as well as their number. Information is stored and also processed in the so-called cloud, which, from the user's point of view, is one single server of large volume. Such solutions have a lot of possibilities, they are safe and, in general, can be recommended for use by both ordinary users and the corporate segment of customers to solve a wide range of problems.
Yandex. Disk
One of the popular solutions for storing data in the "cloud" in our country is "Yandex. Disk". This service is created and supported by a company recognized worldwidespecialists of the search giant "Yandex", which gives each user the opportunity to be sure of the reliability of the service, the availability of all the necessary functions and their flawless operation. The volume of "Yandex. Disk", provided to each user for free immediately after registering with the service, is quite large, which further popularizes the storage.
How Yandex. Disk works
The main principle on which the service performs its functions is the continuous synchronization of user data between different devices, both hardware and software. The amount of memory provided by the Yandex. Disk service can be used by almost any hardware solution connected to the Internet. These include PCs, laptops, smartphones and tablets. Devices can run Windows, Linux, Android, iOS of all current versions. In other words, everyone can become a user of the service and get a free amount of Yandex. Disk for storing personal files. Registration, by the way, is currently open to everyone.
How much data can be stored for free
Many do not know how much Yandex. Disk is available to each user. It is worth noting that it is not as small as one might think. With reasonable use, storing only important and really necessary information and regularly cleaning the storage from file garbage, there is enough space for most standard tasks. Immediately after registration andforever the user receives as much as 10 gigabytes of disk space for free use.
How to increase volume
Of course, each user would like to have at their disposal the maximum amount of "Yandex. Disk". How to achieve this? Let's try to figure it out.
It is worth noting that in reality the amount of information that each user operates on a daily basis is constantly growing. Regardless of the purpose of using cloud storage, sooner or later it will fill up and cease to perform its most important function - to accept new files uploaded by the user. In order for all the features to become available again, you will have to resort to using the service on a paid basis.
How to increase the volume of "Yandex. Disk"? Despite the fact that there are some tricks, for example, receiving bonus volume for referring friends, the answer to this question can actually be one - for a "serious" increase in volume, you will have to purchase one of the cloud service packages. There are several packages available today. This is an additional 10, 100 or 1,000 gigabytes of volume. Packages are purchased for one month or a year, but you can set up automatic renewal of use. As for the cost of the service, it is worth noting that it is quite democratic. As a recommendation, economical users can be advised to purchase an "annual" package. Compared to paying monthly, it costs about 20% less.
Thus, everyone can choose the appropriate amount of "Yandex. Disk" for themselves and take advantage of all the benefits of cloud storage.
