Auto-upload photos and videos from mobile devices to the “Camera Uploads” folder
Configure unlimited auto-uploads of media files to Yandex.Disk if you take a lot of photos and videos with your phone or tablet. This way, your photos won't be lost even if something happens to your phone or tablet.
Photos and videos are uploaded to the “Camera Uploads” folder. You can view files on the Yandex.Disk home page, in the mobile application and in the desktop program.
If you don't want to store your photos and videos in the “Camera Uploads” folder, you can move them to any other Disk folder. The files you moved aren't uploaded again during the next auto-upload.
Photos and videos automatically uploaded to the “Camera Uploads” folder will take up space on your Yandex.Disk. If you don't want them to take up space, enable unlimited auto-uploads.

The same actions are available with automatically uploaded photos and videos as with ordinary files: you can view, download, or share them.

To avoid running out of space in Yandex.Disk due to auto-uploads, enable unlimited auto-uploads.
Photos and videos are no longer uploaded to Camera uploads
This is most likely because you enabled unlimited auto-uploads. Media files are not stored in the “Camera uploads” folder when unlimited auto-upload is enabled. You can view them under Photos on the Yandex.Disk page.
To start uploading photos and videos to the “Camera” folder again, disable unlimited auto-uploads.

Someone else's files may end up on your Yandex.Disk if you log in on someone else's mobile device. In this case, if auto-uploads are enabled, files from this device will upload to your Yandex.Disk.
You can stop uploading other people's files to your Yandex.Disk in one of the following ways:
- Log out on all devices
