Security in Yandex.Disk

How long are files stored?
Your files are stored until you delete them. We impose no restrictions on storage time.

Viewing history
The History tab displays all events — all recent actions with files and folders on your Disk. In history, you can:
- View what happened to files that you can't find (you might have moved them to another location or deleted them).
- Make sure that the history displays only your actions (to ensure that only you can access your Yandex.Disk).
- Quickly navigate to files and folders that you recently worked with.
You can search for events in History by using the search bar or filters.

You can search for events in one of the following ways:

- By date, event type, device, or folder. Use filters to do that.
To reset a single filter, click again on the selected value. To reset all the filters, click Clear to the left of the filters.
