Smart albums
Yandex Disk creates thematic albums "Places and Trips", "Beautiful", and "Sort". These albums display your photos from your other folders on Yandex Disk.
Places and Trips
In the "Places and Trips" album, you can see all photos of your travels sorted and arranged. Photos from your business trips will never mix up with your vacation shots. Photos of your usual places, such as work and home, are also kept separate. Inside, photos are grouped into albums by the location where they were taken.
Beautiful
In this album, you can see your most beautiful photos. They are nice to look at, make you feel nostalgic, and you can share them with your friends.
Sort
In this album, Yandex Disk collects receipts, screenshots from your phone, and blurry and low-quality photos. You can sort them and delete the photos that you don't need.
