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?
