Hello friends! Today's article is about Mail.Ru cloud storage. Let's look at how to use the cloud via the web interface:
How to upload files there and share links to them;
How to create folders and configure access to them;
How to move, rename and delete files.
How to create documents, spreadsheets and presentations directly in the cloud.
And other subtleties of use.
The beauty of any cloud storage is that it gives you additional space to store your files online.
No need to clutter up your computer again.
It’s convenient to share files with other people (just open access via a link).
And since I have a mailbox on Mile, I decided to use this storage as well. Moreover, 25 GB of memory is available for free here. Insert from 2018 - now they give 8 GB for free.
In general, this is all theory. And we will move on to practice.
Watch my video instructions for working with the Mail.Ru cloud below:
So, as you already understand, to gain access to the cloud on Mail.Ru you need to register a mailbox here. By doing this, you create your account through which you can use other Mail services, including cloud storage.
Although it is not necessary to register a mailbox, you can use Mail to log into your mail located on another service. I showed this in the video (watch from the 11th minute 46th second). Thus, your mailbox, for example on Yandex, will open in the Mail.ru interface and you will also be able to use the cloud.
To go to the cloud, being on the main page of Mail.Ru, you need to click on the “All projects” tab and select “Cloud”.
Initially, pictures and a video file are already loaded there, which you can delete. Delete files possibly in several ways. If you need to delete several files at once, mark them with a checkmark and click on the “Delete” button at the top.
Or right-click on the file and select “Delete”. Again, if you have marked several files, they will all be deleted.
And one nuance - in the Mail.ru cloud there is no recycle bin into which deleted files go, as on the same Yandex disk. From there we can restore them. We delete it from the cloud immediately!
To add files from your computer to the cloud, use the “Download” button in the upper left corner.
You can upload using the “Select files on your computer” button, or drag them into the upload window with the mouse. There is a limitation - the uploaded file size is up to 2 GB.
Next to the “Download” button we see the “Create” button. We use it for creating folders, documents (Word), tables (Excel) or presentations (power point) directly in the cloud.
If you want to organize your files in the cloud, then create special folders for them. To move file to folder, select it with a checkmark, right-click, select “Move”.
A window will open in which you can select a folder to move or immediately create a new one.
Generally, we can use the right mouse button for different actions on files– delete, move, copy, download, generate a link for other people or send by mail. It is very comfortable.
By the way, if you need download several files from the cloud at once. You select them with checkmarks and they will be automatically packed into one archive for downloading.
If you open access to a file for a while, and then want to delete this link, then select the desired file with the mouse, right-click and select “Delete link”.
All your files to which you have shared access can also be found in the “Sharing” section.
If the link to the file is from Cloud Mail.Ru shared with you, you can download it immediately or save it to your cloud. You will have the option to specify a folder (where you want to save this file) or you can create a new folder for it.
Now a few words about setting up access to folders. You can share any folder with the ability to edit. That is, other users will also be able to add files to this folder.
To set up access to a folder, check the box and click on the “Set up access” tab.
Editing access can only be made available to individual members you invite via email.
If you are going to send an invitation to a user with a mailbox other than Mail.ru, then he will receive the invitation only if he logs into his mail via Mail. More about this Here.
At home mailbox this user will see a prompt like this:
Having accepted it in his cloud, in the “Sharing” section, he will find the folder that you opened for him and will be able to add his files to it. You, in turn, will see all the changes he made in your folder.
And also, you can change the display of files in the cloud. And instead of large icons, you will have this compact list:
Friends, if this is your first time getting acquainted with Mail.Ru cloud storage, I hope that the instructions were clear to you. In any case, I'm always happy to answer your questions in the comments.
I wish you success!
Sincerely, Victoria
After reading these instructions, you will be able to understand the popular issue of transferring and saving photos to the cloud on an iPhone, additional settings for your phone, and choosing the data storage service that is most convenient for you.
Every year, the development of cloud storage for saving personal photos or documents is becoming more popular among iPhone users. This may be due to the small amount of memory on the device or, conversely, to the convenience that online data storage services offer us.
How does the cloud work on iPhone? Operating principle in general terms
The operating principle of cloud storage is based on streaming files to local Apple server storage.
When an iPhone user takes a new photo, records a video file, or works with bookmarks on the gadget, the built-in iOS monitoring system records and stores results about new or previously changed files in the device's internal cache. When you connect to Wi-Fi, you are automatically connected to cloud storage iCloud data. iOS sends a command to the server about changed or new documents, and they are automatically uploaded to Apple's local storage.
The file, when uploaded from the iPhone to the cloud, is divided into equal parts and distributed across storage servers. Each document or photograph has several backup copies, which allow you to store information in different places. In case of loss of data about the downloaded file or equipment malfunction, the backup copy will allow you to instantly obtain information about previously downloaded media content to the cloud.
When an iPhone user logs into the cloud storage and downloads the file he needs, it is automatically, through powerful computing equipment, put together and transferred through secure encryption to the owner’s phone.
What is the best cloud to choose for iPhone nowadays?
Indeed, many iPhone users often wonder where to store their photos and videos. How can you access them most quickly from any part of the planet where there is Internet.

Yandex Disk on free of charge offers about 20 GB for uploading media files to the cloud from an iPhone. This space is more than enough to understand all the capabilities of the service in free mode.
The ease of use of Yandex Drive on iPhone does not seem to be as promising as in the case of iCloud. Autoload YAD will allow you to automatically upload only photo and video files from iPhone to cloud storage.
As for the cost. Yandex offers, as we said earlier, about 20 GB permanent place in the cloud for free, as well as the ability to expand memory for an additional fee. You can view the current tariffs (as of the end of 2017) in the screenshot below.
Attention! Yandex Disk constantly holds free promotions with partners that will allow you to significantly increase your iPhone cloud storage space. The price and cost of these services may differ from the prices presented on the official website of the software product.

Details Benks Created: September 07, 2017 Updated: February 03, 2018We all use cloud storage, and some of us even pay a subscription fee to store files beyond our allotted limit. This is convenient - if we have the Internet, we can access all the files that we have copied to the cloud at any time. But such services also have disadvantages: they can be hacked by hackers, files can get to strangers, and if the cloud owners are not satisfied with the content you store with them, your account can be blocked, and then all the files will be lost. Creating your own cloud is a great solution, although it has its drawbacks.
Advantages of a personal cloud:
No limits. You can store as many files as fit on the drives on your computer.
- No fees, everything is free (except electricity).
- Complete privacy. Files are copied from your computer to other devices without using a third-party server.
- Ability to share an unlimited number of folders and files with other users.
- Manage access levels to files and folders.
Disadvantages of a personal cloud:
You will have to keep the computer turned on all the time, otherwise remote access to files will be lost.
- It will not be possible to connect your cloud to most applications that work with popular storages.
- The risk of losing files due to a computer failure.
How to create your own cloud:
1. Go to the website and create an account.
2. Download the Tonido Server program. Install it, run it and allow it access to the network (if the firewall dialog box pops up). This program creates a server from a computer, so that files stored on it can be accessed from anywhere in the world via the Internet.
3. The Tonido Server icon hangs in the notification panel. By clicking on it, the browser opens the local address http://127.0.0.1:10001 with a service interface where you can specify which folders will be added to the cloud.
4. Download the Tonido mobile or desktop app. Launch it and log into your account. If you see files in the application that are stored on your computer, then the cloud is ready and you can use it. Now you will always have all the files you need with you.
The app can open several types of files, including videos, music and texts. Any file can be downloaded to your device or sent to a friend (by email or with direct access via a link in the Tonido service).
Strictly speaking, a server running on a home computer cannot be considered a full-fledged cloud service. The cloud is a professional solution that uses the technology of distributing files across several servers, making the risk of their loss almost eliminated. The likelihood of data corruption can be minimized at home - for this, for example, you can create a RAID array. But even in this case, other risks remain, such as physical damage to the computer or its theft. It's harder to protect yourself from this.
More and more users and companies are abandoning the purchase of a hard drive with a large amount of memory in favor of online products. During the initial consideration of offers on the market, it is not entirely clear which cloud to choose for data storage. To do this, it is important to know their purpose, features, pros and cons of use.
The cloud means a certain, allocated amount of space on the servers of a company that provides cloud storage services. The system is decentralized and files are scattered across a network of data centers, but can be easily accessed through an application or website.
Five main reasons to use cloud services:
The top cloud storage solutions are based on the ratio of price, quality and generosity of developers (the presence of a free mode and the amount of space offered).
Based on the listed characteristics, the rating includes:
The choice of which cloud service is best to use is up to the user. All of the listed services are worthy of being rated and differ good reviews. To avoid paying for storage, install all services at the same time and use them for free.
Advantages and disadvantages
Among the advantages of the cloud:
- cheap equipment, savings on purchasing a large disk;
- saving free disk space and improving PC performance;
- the efficiency of resource use increases. In the corporate sector, a personal data center is either idle or cannot cope with the load, and in cloud storage, payments are made only for the amount of information used;
- no need for system administrators and technical workers;
- automatic application updates;
- unlimited volume;
- compatible with all OS;
- support for most formats;
- ease collaboration on the project;
- 24/7 remote access to documents;
- safety.
There are also disadvantages:
- do not work without access to the network;
- stable and high-speed Internet is required;
- risk slow work service during DDoS or heavy load;
- not all programs support remote access;
- some companies (not from the presented list) have security problems;
- If data is lost on the cloud, it is rarely possible to recover it.
Secure file storage in the cloud
The best cloud storage services are secure, but that's relative. There are several reasons to trust and distrust them.
It's safe because:
- data is encrypted, as specified in the user agreement;
- The service is constantly being worked on to improve performance and close security holes;
- A password is required for access.
What vulnerabilities exist:
- packet interception - only possible when transmitted over an unsecured network, public Wi-Fi is especially dangerous;
- password hacking - do not use the same passwords;
- Not all services encrypt data - it is better to encrypt it yourself or set a password.
It is better to use the listed services to store files; they are safer, more reliable and easier to use compared to analogues. Despite the lack of 100% security on the part of the service, the user is able to protect his own information using SSL access, encrypting key files and setting a reliable, previously unused password.
To exchange files between computers and mobile gadgets, cables and flash drives are no longer needed. If devices have Internet access, files can “fly” between them “on the cloud.” More precisely, they can “settle” in cloud storage, which is a collection of servers scattered around the world (united into one virtual - cloud server), where users place their data for a fee or for free. In the cloud, files are stored in the same way as on a computer’s hard drive, but are accessible not from one, but from different devices that are able to connect to it.
Every second or third Internet user has already adopted cloud data storage technology and uses it with pleasure, but some still resort to flash drives. After all, not everyone knows about this opportunity, and some simply cannot decide which service to choose and how to use it. Well, let's figure it out together.
What are cloud storages from a user's point of view and how do they work?
If you look through the eyes of an inexperienced user, cloud storage is an ordinary application. All it does is create a folder on the computer under own name. But not simple. Everything you put into it is simultaneously copied to the same cloud Internet server and becomes accessible from other devices. The size of this folder is limited and can grow within the limits of the disk space allocated to you (on average from 2 GB).
If the cloud storage application is running and the computer ( mobile gadget) is connected to the global network, data on the hard drive and in the cloud are synchronized in real time. At battery life, and also, when the application is not running, all changes are saved only in the local folder. When the machine is connected to the Internet, access to the storage becomes possible, including through a browser.
Files and folders uploaded to the cloud are full-fledged web objects, the same as any content on Internet sites and FTP storages. You can link to them and share links with other people, even those who do not use this service. But only those to whom you have authorized it will be able to download or see an object from your storage. In the cloud, your data is hidden from prying eyes and is securely protected with a password.
The majority of cloud services have additional functionality - a file viewer, built-in document editors, tools for creating screenshots, etc. This, plus the amount of space provided, creates the main differences between them.
— a cloud data storage service that needs no introduction Windows users. Of course, in the latest releases of this OS (in the top ten), it actually climbs on top of everything on the screen, since it is configured to autorun by default.
For Windows users, the advantage of the Microsoft OneDrive service over its analogues is perhaps only one - it does not need to be installed. You also don’t need to create a separate account for it—to log into the cloud, you just need to enter your Microsoft account information.
The owner of one Microsoft OneDrive account provides 5 GB of free disk space to store any information. To get additional volume, you will have to pay extra. The maximum is 5 TB and costs 3,399 rubles per year, but this package includes not only disk space, but also the Office 365 application (home edition). More affordable tariff plans are 1 TB (2,699 rubles per year - storage and Office 365 personal) and 50 GB (140 rubles per month - storage only).
Additional features of all tariffs:
- Support for other operating systems - Mac OS X, iOS and Android.
- View and edit documents using built-in Office applications.
- Remote access to the entire contents of the computer (not just the OneDrive folder) on which the service is installed and your Microsoft account is used.
- Creation of photo albums.
- Built-in messenger (Skype).
- Creation and storage of text notes.
- Search.
Paid versions only:
- Creating links with limited time actions.
- Offline folders.
- Multi-page scanning and saving documents to a PDF file.
In general, the service is not bad, but sometimes there are problems logging into your account. If you are going to work with the web version of the storage (via a browser) and log into it under a different IP address than you used before, Microsoft sometimes runs a check that the account belongs to you, which takes a lot of time.
There have also been complaints about user content being removed from OneDrive when Microsoft suspected it was unlicensed.
is one of the oldest cross-platform cloud storage services. Unlike the previous one, it supports all major OS, as well as some rarely used ones, such as Symbian and MeeGo. The service is very easy to use, works quickly and stably.
A DropBox user is provided with only 2 GB of disk space for free to store personal files, but this volume can be doubled by creating and attaching another account to your account - a work account (which can actually be personal). Together you get 4 GB.
Switching between personal and work disk space on the DropBox website and in the application is carried out without logging out of your account (no need to enter your username and password each time). A separate folder is created on the computer for both accounts - 2 GB each.
DropBox, as expected, also has several tariff plans. About free it was said above, Paid ones are “Plus” (1 TB, $8.25 per month, intended for personal use), “Standard” (2 TB, $12.50 per month, for business), “Advanced” (unlimited volume, $20 per month for 1 user) and “Enterprise” (unlimited volume, individually set price). The differences between the last two are in the set of additional options.
In addition to storage, free users have access to:
- Document collaboration service DropBox Paper.
- Ability to share links and create public folders.
- Log of file changes with the ability to restore them to previous version(up to 30 days).
- Commenting on files - both your own and other users, if the file is available for viewing.
- Search function.
- Receiving notifications about events (customizable individually).
- Automatic uploading of photos from the camera (by the way, DropBox provided users with additional space for enabling this option some time ago).
- Select full or selective synchronization.
- Encryption of data during storage and transmission.
The possibilities of paid tariffs can be listed for a very long time, so we will only note the main ones:
- Remotely destroy data from DropBox on a lost or stolen device.
- Limit the link's validity period.
- Two-factor account authentication.
- Setting access levels to different data.
- Enhanced HIPAA/HITECH class information protection (secure storage of medical records).
- 24/7 technical support.
DropBox, if not the best, is a very worthy service. Despite the small amount of free space by today's standards, it is used by millions of people around the world.
Mega (Megasync)
As is clear from the description, Amazon Web Services is aimed only at the corporate sector and is not intended for storing albums with photographs of cats, although it is possible that someone uses it for this too. After all, cloud file storage - Amazon Glacier, like Yandex disk, provides users with 10 free GB. The cost of additional volume is $0.004 per 1 GB per month.
Comparing Amazon Glacier with the web resources described above is perhaps incorrect, since they have several different purposes. The functionality and capabilities of this service are determined by business objectives, including:
- Uninterrupted operation, increased reliability.
- Compliance with enhanced data protection standards.
- Multilingual interface.
- Unlimited volume (expansion for an additional fee).
- Ease of use and flexible settings.
- Integration with other Amazon Web Services.
Those who are interested in Amazon's capabilities can read the complete documentation for AWS products, which is located on the official website.
Mail.ru
It ranks second or third in the popularity rating of file web storage among Russian-speaking audiences. In terms of its range of capabilities, it is comparable to Google Drive and Yandex Drive: like them, it contains web applications for creating and editing documents (texts, tables, presentations) and a screenshoter (a utility for taking screenshots). It is also integrated with other Mail.ru projects - mail, social networks “My World” and “Odnoklassniki”, the “Mail. Dating”, etc., has a convenient file viewer with a flash player and is also very affordable (for those for whom the allocated volume is not enough).
The size of the free disk space of the Mail cloud is 8 GB (previously this figure has changed several times). The premium tariff for 64 GB costs 690 rubles per year. For 128 GB you will have to pay 1,490 rubles per year, for 256 GB - 2,290 rubles per year. The maximum volume is 512 GB, which will cost 3,790 rubles per year.
Other functions of the service are not much different from similar ones. This:
- Shared folders.
- Synchronization.
- Built-in search.
- Ability to share links.
The Mail.ru client application works on Windows, OS X, iOS and Android.
Cloud storage— a proprietary web service for owners of smartphones and tablets of the same manufacturer. Designed to store backup copies of data from mobile devices — multimedia content, OS files and other things at the discretion of the user.
Client Samsung app Cloud comes pre-installed on phones and tablets released later than the second half of 2016 (more precisely, after the release of Samsung Galaxy Note 7). Registering an account on the service is only possible through it, apparently to weed out outsiders.
The free storage capacity is 15 GB. An additional 50GB costs $0.99 per month, and 200GB costs $2.99.
iCloud (Apple)
- a favorite among cloud data storage users of Apple products. Of course, it’s free (though not very spacious) and integrated with other Apple services. The service is designed to store backup copies of data from iPhone, iPad and iPod, as well as user media files, mail and documents (the latter are automatically synchronized with the contents of iCloud Drive).
Free iCloud storage capacity is 5 GB. Additional storage retails for $0.99 for 50GB, $2.99 for 200GB, and $9.99 for 2TB.
The iCloud client app supports Mac OS X, iOS, and Windows operating systems. There is no official application for Android, but owners of devices based on this OS can view mail from the Apple cloud on their device.
The top parade of cloud storages is completed by a Chinese service. As you can see from the screenshot, it is clearly not adapted for you and me. Why is it needed then, if there are domestic, European and American analogues that are more familiar to Russian-speaking people? The fact is that Baidu provides users with a whole terabyte of free disk space. For this reason, it is worth overcoming translation difficulties and other obstacles.
Registration on Baidu Cloud is significantly more labor-intensive than competitors. It requires confirmation with a code sent via SMS, but SMS from the Chinese server does not arrive to Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian numbers. Our fellow citizens have to get by by renting a virtual phone number, but that’s not all. The second difficulty is that an account cannot be registered for some addresses Email. In particular, on the services gmail (Google is blocked in China), fastmail and Yandex. And the third difficulty is the need to install mobile application Baidu Cloud on your phone or tablet, since that’s what you get for 1 TB (when registering on a computer, you will only get 5 GB). And it, as you understand, is entirely in Chinese.
Aren't you scared? Dare - and you will be rewarded. Information on how to create an account on Baidu yourself is available on the Internet.
