Auto-save important files

Enable auto-save for “Desktop”, “Documents”, “Images”, or any other folder. All changes to these folders will be automatically uploaded to Yandex Disk. This way you won't lose your files if something happens to your computer.

Note. Autosave is only available in Yandex Disk Pro or with a Yandex 360 subscription.
