Photos from Yandex.Fotki

Your photos from the Yandex.Fotki service are now stored in the Yandex.Fotki section of the Disk. They don't use space on the Disk. You can download, edit, share them, add to an album, copy to another Disk folder and load to social networks. Also, you can move them to another Disk folder or delete them. In this case, the direct links to the photos don't work.

To view photos from Yandex.Fotki, click the Archive → Yandex.Fotki button in the left panel.

Do photos from Yandex.Fotki take up space on the Disk?

Your photos are stored on Yandex.Disk in a separate folder that doesn't use space on your Disk. If you move or copy your photos from it to any other folder, they use space on the Disk. But the amount of free space will stay the same. At the moment of moving from the Yandex.Fotki service you receive free extra space on your Disk (equal to the size of the photos you moved).

Note. If you have no photos (or if they take less than 10 MB) the Disk space stays the same. Photos uploaded after March 6, are not taken into account.

Why aren't photos from Yandex.Fotki synced?

Photos from Yandex.Fotki aren't synced, they aren't displayed in the All photos section and in mobile apps. To work with the photos as usual, move or copy them from this section to any other folder.

Note. If you move the photos to another folder on the Disk, direct links to them don't work.

What happened with the links to the photos?

All direct links to photos work also after moving to Disk, if you don't delete or move photos from the Archive → Yandex.Fotki folder. Creating new links isn't possible.

What happened to my albums?

Albums were also moved to Disk. To view them, click the Photo button in the left panel and choose the Albums tab. If an album in Yandex.Fotki was protected with password, the album is private on the Disk. Also the album is private if it contains “18+” photos.

What happens if I move a photo from a Yandex.Fotki folder to another folder on the Disk?

You can move your photos from the special folder on the Disk to any other folder and work with them as usual: sync them with the desktop program, view them on mobile devices and in the All photos section. In this case they will occupy space on your Disk. But the amount of free space will stay the same. At the moment of moving from the Yandex.Fotki service you receive free extra space on your Disk (equal to the size of the photos you moved).

Note. If you have no photos (or if they take less than 10 MB) the Disk space stays the same. Photos uploaded after March 6, are not taken into account.

If you move (or delete) the photos from the Yandex.Fotki folder, direct links to them don't work.

How do I view information about a photo and comments to it?

Choose the photo and click → Description from Yandex.Fotki in the upper panel or from the context menu. In addition to description and comments, you can view the photo title, number of views, tags and meta data (EXIF).

How do I delete all moved photos?

In the left panel, click the Archive → Yandex.Fotki button.
Select all photos and click the Remove button in the upper panel. The files are deleted with all information about the photo. Direct links to the photos stop working.

Note. When you delete photos, they take up space on the Disk (files in Trash always use space). To free the space, clean the Trash.

Why were photos in the album duplicated after moving?

If you edited photos in Yandex.Fotki, both the original and the modified version are kept when moving.
