• How to add files to the mail cloud. Cloud data storage. How to create a file storage cloud

    Hello everyone. With development computer technology The storage capacity for our data is increasing. On the computer we store our photos, videos from various events, important documents and a lot of other valuable information. Sometimes all this is not enough installed hard disks. Have to buy either internal additional hard drive, or external. But in lately The quality of data storage devices has decreased slightly. The average period of work is 4-5 years. There is an opinion that manufacturers intentionally do this so that they buy new disks with a larger capacity.

    Therefore, today the problem of preserving our data is very relevant. The Internet offers us some services that provide users with cloud storage for data storage. These are Dropbox, Yandex Disk, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Cloud Mail.ru and others. We have already described Yandex Disk in detail in the article “”. Today we will get acquainted with another service - Cloud Mail.ru

    Cloud storage(Cloud) is a model of data storage that is provided to the user online. That is, simply put, a certain virtual disk, where you can store and manage your information.

    The Mail.ru Cloud service is available to any user registered on mail.ru. If you don't have one like this yet account, or if you lose your password.

    Let's go to our mailbox and click on the link at the top

    And select Cloud.

    When we first enter this project, we are given information about this service.

    By uploading files to the Cloud, you will have access to them from any mobile device through the application. More on this below. In the meantime, let's press

    What’s convenient about using cloud services is that your data will be stored securely, even if your computer, laptop breaks down, or burns down. hard drive. Check the box indicating that we agree to the terms and conditions license agreement. Click " Get started»

    Initially, each person is given 25 GB free of charge. You can upload files up to 2 GB in size. If this doesn’t seem enough to you, you can switch to paid plans, which for a fee increase the total size of cloud storage, and also upload files up to 32 GB. To switch to a paid tariff, click on the button " Connect tariff", then select the desired tariff and follow further actions. We'll stay on free plan.

    By default, some files are already installed in the cloud. What to do with them is up to you. Leave it or not if you want. To delete these files, check the box next to them. To select all files with one click, check the general checkbox at the top left. Now we can delete, download, copy or move all files to another folder. Rights top buttons set the sorting and type: tile and list.

    When you hover your mouse over any file, you can download it and receive a link to it to share with your friends and acquaintances.

    The mail.ru cloud allows us to create new files that will save automatically in storage. This is a simple text document ( Word document), table (Excel) and presentation. As an example, consider creating a document.

    To do this, press the button “ Create" and then select " Document».

    The new document will open in a new browser tab in an editor much like Word. The functionality is the same as the editor from Microsoft. All changes that you make to this document are automatically saved on the server in the Cloud.

    To rename a file, go to the File tab

    And select the appropriate item.

    Close the current browser tab and go to the Cloud. Our First document was successfully saved.

    Now, in order to return to it and continue working with this file, we click on it.

    It will open as if in preview. Using the arrows ( 6 ) you can view the remaining files. You can perform the following actions with the document: send this file by mail, return to editing ( 1 ), get a link to it ( 2 ), by clicking on which your friends will be able to download this file; remove to cart ( 3 ) (Attention! Files that have been moved to the Cloud Recycle Bin are only stored 14 days, after which they are automatically deleted), open the file in full screen ( 4 ) and download ( 5 ) it to your computer or laptop.

    Similarly, you can create a table in Excel format and presentation. The actions are similar to those described above.

    Creating a folder

    Before uploading our files to the Mail.ru Cloud storage, you need to create one or more folders. This will help you later not to search for the desired file among others. Thanks to folders, all data will be sorted.

    Then we give the name " Music»

    And click " Add" That's it, our folder is created.

    How to upload files to Mail.ru Cloud?

    Now let's go into this folder and add one .mp3 file.

The audio player with the selected song will automatically launch in a new tab. In the same way, you can watch the downloaded video file online. Here you can perform the actions that we considered using the example of a text document: delete, get a link, send by mail, download to your computer.

    Download Cloud Mail.ru on your computer and mobile devices.

    In order to have access to your data at any time, we created an application for both PCs and tablets and smartphones. Applications make it possible to add and manage your data without going to the service. In this case, all files are synchronized on all devices. Let's assume that if you copied or transferred a file to the Cloud via your computer, it will also appear in your application for your smartphone, laptop and tablet.

    After this, the file can be sent by mail to your friends and relatives.

    Let me finish here. We looked at the main points of working with Mail.ru Cloud. I hope this information will help you save your information from any computer failures and hard drive. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments. Also write what cloud storage services you use. Until next time. Good luck to you.

    A BOOK is a way of talking to many people through time.

    The Mail.Ru group of companies has its own cloud storage called “Mail.Ru Cloud”. During the beta testing period of the cloud service, Mail.Ru Cloud provided 100 GB free of charge to everyone who took part in testing the cloud storage disk space. Some users received 1 TB of storage during the promotion.

    This entire large amount of disk storage remained forever with all users who registered with the file service during its beta testing. IN at the moment, the amount of space provided to users is 8 GB.

    The size of free space in cloud storage for those who managed to get 100 GB is comparable to the size of a small hard drive. Other cloud storage providers provide smaller amounts of data storage for free.

    Provides 10 GB for free, provides 15 GB (including mail) of disk space, - 5 GB, - 2 GB (can be increased to 16 GB for free), and cloud storage provides 50 GB of disk space for free.

    You can store your data in the Mail.Ru Cloud: documents, photos, videos and any other files. To log into the cloud storage, you use a web interface or a client application that will need to be installed on your computer or smartphone. Client applications are developed for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, as well as for mobile devices: Android and iOS. In this case, “mail.ru satellite” and “mail.ru defender” will not be installed.

    Data uploaded to [email protected] is automatically synchronized with other devices. Files placed on your computer in the Mail.Ru Cloud folder (Mail.Ru Cloud) will immediately be synchronized and become accessible from other devices.

    In order to use a cloud drive on Mail.Ru, you must have an email account in Mail.Ru. If you do not yet have a mailbox on this service, then you should create an electronic mailbox in postal service Mail.Ru.

    After logging in via email, a cloud drive window will open: “Mail.Ru Cloud”. The user receives 8 GB of free cloud storage space for free.

    In order to increase your free disk space, you will be offered to purchase additional disk space.

    To work from a computer, the Mail.Ru Cloud application was previously used. The files were placed simultaneously on disk and in the cloud. As a result of synchronization. changes in one place led to changes in another.

    At the moment, instead of Mail.Ru Cloud, the Disk-O: application is used. Disk-O displays files located in the cloud, and works with them on the computer. Now, files do not take up space on your computer.

    Installing the Mail.Ru Cloud application

    To install the Mail.Ru Cloud application on your computer, you will need to click on the “Install on computer” button. In the window that opens, select the client application for your operating system: Windows, Mac or Linux.

    Conclusions of the article

    Cloud storage The Mail.Ru cloud offers all users of the Mail.Ru service disk space in its “cloud”, which can be used to store data.

    The modern Internet has provided all users with such a huge number of opportunities that even simply listing them would take quite a lot of time. And the best part is that the list of available technological innovations continues to grow quite rapidly, and existing solutions are being improved, rapidly approaching perfection.

    Such continuous technological evolution has also affected storage media, adding to the list of stationary and portable devices new group data storage – cloud storage. Thanks to their widespread implementation, user work with information has been transferred to a new, more modern and reliable level.

    The idea of ​​cloud disks (storages) is simple and extremely clear: the user can store files that are necessary or simply interesting to him not on his own PC or mobile device, and on network storage on the Internet (on secure servers) and you can access such information from anywhere in the world.

    The concept of such storages turned out to be so popular that Internet giants such as Google and Yandex instantly implemented it for their users.

    However, today we will talk about another organization - the Mail.ru company, which developed and put into operation own cloud, often superior in capabilities to the services of the above companies (the size of the disk space provided is noticeably larger than competitors, the file transfer speed - downloading / uploading is also higher).

    You can download mail.ru cloud to your computer for free in Russian. The link is available on the Mail.ru website in the user’s account (shown in the screenshot), or on our website at the bottom of this material (before the section " technical information"). Let's say right away that every user who has opened a mailbox on their servers has the ability to access the cloud.


    As you already guessed, so The storage can be fully used through any modern Internet browser, however, it is most convenient to do this through free program for Windows computer.

    Features of working with the Mail.ru cloud:

    • simple and clear user interface both when using the web version of the cloud, and in the case of software installed on the computer;
    • The size of the free disk space is 25 GB (you will have to pay for additionally allocated disk space);
    • The file upload limit is 2 GB (if you install the program, all limits are removed);
    • If you install the program on a PC, working with the cloud is reduced to working with a regular Windows folder, data into which can be copied or deleted from there. All changes made in this way will be made on the cloud itself (on the Internet) thanks to the automatically launched synchronization function;

    By the way, users of operating systems are not left out either. Mac systems OS, Linux, as well as owners of mobile devices based on Android and iOS OS, for which adapted versions of the programs have been released.

    Advantages of cloud storage Mail.ru disk

    1. First of all, there are no restrictions on the speed of downloading a file or uploading it to the cloud. The only limit is the speed of the user’s Internet channel;
    2. You can download from disk or upload to disk several files at the same time (this applies to both the web version of the service and when installing the program on a PC);
    3. when uploading files to the cloud, they are automatically scanned by Kaspersky anti-virus, which minimizes the transfer of unwanted software inside file archives and malicious macros in office documents;
    4. high reliability of data storage. It is ensured by the use of two independent data centers, one of which stores the original, and the second acts as a backup storage (in case of failure when using the first);
    5. a document placed in the cloud cannot be forgotten at home - to access the file you only need access to the Internet;
    6. text files can be created directly in the browser, and then using a simple web analogue Microsoft Word edit online. The same opportunity is available in the mode of working with presentations and spreadsheets;
    7. mail.ru cloud can be downloaded for free on any modern device.

    Separately, I would like to say that a document posted on the mail.ru cloud can be viewed and edited by all interested parties (employees, friends or relatives). To do this, you need to share access to a folder or file, such as Google Drive.

    We recommend this service, as the simplest and most accessible option for simple and advanced users. Let us remind you that you can download the mail.ru cloud to your computer using a direct link on our website or from your personal account postal service. And to remove a program, use the control panel options in the "Add or Remove Programs" section.

    The word "cloud" has long ceased to be used in its original single meaning. Today, cloud services are firmly rooted in our digital lives and allow us to comfortably use files and documents without fear for their safety. Among domestic services this type of mail ru cloud stands out - simple and convenient way organizing your data.

    What does mail.ru offer?

    You will get 8 GB of space for uploading files and convenient synchronization between different devices.

    If 8 GB is not enough for you, then free space storage can be expanded by purchasing additional gigabytes. On mobile tariffs For Android and iOS, an increase of up to 1 TB is available, and on PC, for the web version - up to 4 TB. According to company statistics, most users have more than enough free gigs. It makes sense to buy a bigger cloud for corporate clients to use the service together with colleagues.

    There are three options for using the cloud service:

    • Directly, through the web interface on the official website Cloud Mail.ru, if you are used to using computer version for the desktop.

    • Download the program to your gadget if you plan to work with the cloud via a mobile device. You can easily find download links on the official website:

    • By downloading a special program: “Disk-O” to synchronize files from the cloud with your computer. The program allows you to connect synchronization not only with the mail.ru cloud, but also with other popular cloud services. Such as Dropbox, Google Drive. But, since the development of the Disk-O service has not yet been completed, in my opinion it is still too early to use it.

    Of all the listed ways to use the service, in my opinion, the simplest and most reliable is working through the interface of the Cloud Mail.ru service.

    How to use the capabilities of Cloud.Mail.Ru

    To receive free 8 GB you just need to register a mailbox on Mail.Ru. Directly from the mail interface, go to the Mail.ru Cloud service and use all the capabilities of the cloud service.

    So there you have it installed program clouds on your smartphone or you logged in through the web interface using a browser. Now available to you:

    All files uploaded to the cloud will become available on any of your devices, where you just log in to Mail.

    How to use the MailRu cloud? It's actually very simple. Using the web interface as an example:

    • “Download” button - saving files from the device to the cloud.

    You can upload files to the cloud by simply dragging and dropping

    • “Create” button with a drop-down list - creating folders, documents, tables and presentations.

    In the Mail.ru cloud you can create and edit text documents and Excel tables

    • “Download” - this button answers the question of how to download a file from the mail ru cloud: select it with a checkmark and click it.

    • “Delete” - deletes the selected data.

    Removing marked files from the mail ru cloud

    • “Get link” - getting a URL to download a file.

    • “Set up access” - option for collaboration. Allows Mail.Ru users you invite to edit files in your storage or create new documents in a public folder.

    To use access settings, you need to select the folder to which you want to provide access and click “Configure access”.

    Then, in the window that opens, configure access settings.

    IN in this example settings for collaboration in the Mail.ru cloud have been made

    These are the basic capabilities of the web interface; they are duplicated in applications for computers, tablets and smartphones, which also have their own “tricks”.

    Cloud on a smartphone

    The mobile application has a number of advantages. For example, you don’t need to upload photos from your phone’s memory to the Android version of the storage after taking them: just click on the blue button with a plus “Add” in the program.

    On smartphones running Android, it is possible to enable automatic download photos and videos filmed by camera phone.

    On an iPhone, you can use the autoload option from the application settings for the same purpose. If it is enabled, photos will be automatically uploaded to the cloud, freeing up phone memory. The “Autoload video” option works similarly.

    To enable auto-upload of photos on your iPhone, you need to do the following:

    • Go to settings by clicking on the corresponding icon in the upper left corner.

    • Then go to the startup settings menu and turn it on.

    Please note that to save money mobile traffic The "Wi-Fi only" switches need to be turned on.

    Advantages of the program

    The main advantage is access to the file from any location or device with Internet access, plus reliable data safety in the event of a breakdown of the gadget synchronized with the cloud. Besides this:

    • easy data transfer between multiple devices - you can forget about wires and Bluetooth;
    • opportunity sharing files and their editing, which can greatly facilitate the work on the project;
    • viewing files without having to download them;
    • mail.ru storage can be used instead of a memory card for photos and videos from a smartphone.

    Some disadvantages

    But there are also disadvantages. For example, with a free plan you won’t be able to upload to the cloud large files - maximum size equals 2 GB. The disadvantages include, by modern standards, the scanty volume free storage. Total 8 GB.

    How to remove the mail ru cloud from your computer

    If you no longer need the application, how to remove the cloud from your computer? Same as other programs, but with one note - the folder previously synced with the storage will remain and must be deleted manually. In general, the Mail.Ru cloud is a simple and convenient service that will help simplify working with files on many devices for free.

    Recently, not only computer, but also mobile technologies. In this regard, a very pressing question arose safe storage relatively large amounts of information. And it is for this purpose that many IT corporations offer users of any type of device the use of so-called cloud services. How to use the cloud and services included in basic set any developer will now be considered.

    What is cloud storage?

    First, let’s define what kind of service this is. Roughly speaking, this is file storage in the form of allocated disk space for a company providing such services.

    In other words, in a sense, it can be called a kind of virtual flash drive on which a certain amount of data is placed. However, if you need to constantly carry a USB device with you to access downloaded information, then such a service (for example, the Mail.Ru cloud or the corresponding Google service) can be accessed from both a computer and a mobile device. That is, the files are synchronized in the cloud itself, and you can view or download them simply by entering your registration data (although in some cases this is not required).

    Quite a lot has already been written about how to use the cloud. Now let’s pay attention to some main points, and also consider the simplest principles of its use, explaining the situation in detail.

    Most popular services

    It goes without saying that initially, to use such storages, you need to decide on a service provider, that is, choose the most suitable service for yourself

    Today you can find quite a lot of such services. The most popular are the following:

    • Dropbox.
    • SkyDrive.
    • Cloud Mail.Ru.
    • "Yandex.Disk".
    • Google Drive (Google Disk).
    • Apple iCloud and iCloud Drive.
    • OneDrive, etc.

    Before we figure out how to use each type of cloud, it should be noted that these services are somewhat uneven when compared to each other. The fact is that some repositories can be accessed exclusively from a computer terminal, while others require synchronization of both computers and mobile devices. Sometimes you may need a specialized application that plays the role of a kind of conductor, sometimes just an Internet browser is enough.

    The same applies to freely allocated disk space for storing your files, as well as payment for additional space on a remote server. In any case, most services are very similar to each other.

    What should you pay attention to before starting work?

    Now let's look at some important points, without which the use of cloud services is out of the question.

    The very first and most important thing is pre-registration, and in some cases it is absolutely unimportant whether it will be done via the Internet using a regular browser or a special computer or mobile application. The whole process takes a few minutes.

    Benefit from stationary systems Mobile devices with operating systems installed on them differ. The fact is that when you turn it on for the first time, to access some advanced functions or stores like AppStore or Google Play (Play Market) the system initially prompts you to create an account (registered address email and password). Moreover, your smartphone or tablet already has pre-installed application for working with cloud services. For convenience, you can install their desktop counterparts on your computer or laptop (although access can also be obtained through a browser).

    Allocable disk space

    Another important point- the amount of disk space that the user initially receives in free version. As a rule, the volume on different services ranges from 5 to 50 GB. If this is not enough, you will have to increase the storage capacity and pay a certain amount for it, which includes the cost of purchasing more volume and maintenance for a certain period of use, which, by the way, can also vary.

    General principles

    As for how to use the cloud in the broadest sense, everything is quite simple. After registration, the user only needs to add folders and files, contacts and much more to the storage.

    At the same time, in the settings section, he can add friends who, like him, will upload files to the server or edit them (the simplest example is Dropbox). Often new users can use own passwords to login.

    But here's what's interesting. When installing special program On a computer, access to files in the cloud is much faster than when launching the same Internet browser. The same can be said about synchronization. It is enough to place the files in the application folder, and synchronization will be performed instantly for all users who have access rights to the service. Let's look at the most popular storage facilities.

    Cloud Mail.Ru

    So, as mentioned above, you will first need to create an email box, after entering which the panel at the top in the projects tab will display cloud service. This is the Mile cloud. How to use it? It couldn't be simpler.

    Initially, 25 GB of disk space is offered. carried out using the corresponding button, which can be used to add several objects at once. The limitation concerns only the size of the uploaded file - it should not exceed 2 GB. Before starting the download, you can use additional features, for example, create and then just as easily files can be moved and deleted. Please note: it does not have a “Trash”, as in the same Yandex service, so restore deleted information it won't work.

    The function of creating, viewing or editing files can be very useful. Let's say we have a Word document (or it is created directly in the repository). Changing it directly in the cloud can be as easy as if the user were launching the editor on a computer. Upon completion of work, we save the changes, after which synchronization occurs again.

    Yandex cloud: how to use?

    With the Yandex service, in principle, things are almost identical. The functional set, in general, does not differ much.

    But the developers of this service thought that the user could delete files completely by accident. This is where the so-called “Trash” comes to the rescue, into which information is placed when deleted. It works like a standard computer service. True, data recovery tools are not applicable to it if they have already been deleted from the Recycle Bin. Nevertheless, the function is very useful.

    Google Drive storage

    Now let's move on to another powerful service called Google Cloud. How to use Google Drive? Fundamental differences compared to other services, no. But here access can be obtained both from a mobile device (built-in service) and using a utility installed on a computer (not to mention logging in via an Internet browser). With a phone or tablet everything is simple, let’s look at the computer program.

    We assume that the account has already been created. After activation, the user receives 5 GB of storage. An increase to 25 GB will cost approximately 2.5 USD. We install the application on the computer, after which the service folder appears on the Desktop (it is also displayed in Explorer).

    As is already clear, just place the files in this directory and synchronization will occur. During operation, the program “hangs” in the system tray as an icon. Right click calls additional menu, where you can view the available space for downloading files, make personalized settings, expand storage space, shut down, etc.

    One point is especially worth noting here. As it turns out, copy the files to the program folder on your computer, and then download them from the cloud to mobile device It turns out to be much faster than connecting the gadget to a computer and then copying using Windows.

    iCloud and iCloud Drive services

    Finally, let's look at how to use the Apple cloud. There are two services (iCloud and iCloud Drive) that are pre-installed on the iPhone or iPad in accordance with the version of the operating system installed on the device. Essentially, iCloud Drive is updated version iCloud, and for it correct operation I should take into account that mobile gadget must correspond to the stated technical requirements: iOS 8 on the device itself. Computer - Windows 7 or higher with iCloud extension for Windows or a computer terminal running Mac OS X 10.10 or OS X Yosemite.

    Initially, after logging into the service, folders created by default will be displayed there. Their number may vary depending on the settings of the computer and the client on the mobile device. How to use the cloud on iPhone? In principle, there is nothing supernatural about this. It is enough to launch the application on the gadget (switch the launch slider to the on state) and log in using your account. It's another matter when the input is supposed to be from a computer. Here you will need to use the settings menu of the program itself and select enable there.

    Another minus - enough low speed synchronization (this is recognized by everyone). And one more, most unpleasant moment. If you switch from iCloud to iCloud Drive without updating all devices to the required configuration, the data in the old cloud will simply not be accessible, so be vigilant.

    Conclusion

    That’s briefly all that concerns the question of how to use the Cloud application or services of the same name.

However, even with such minimal knowledge any newly registered user will be able to carry out basic operations within 5-10 minutes.
