Shared disks

Shared disks are special folders where you can store files, edit them together with your colleagues, and search for the information you need.

Only users who were granted access by the organization administrator can use shared disks. Only the administrator can create and delete shared disks, empty the Trash, and configure access.

You can manage files on the shared disk depending on the access level granted by the organization administrator.

Please note that shared disks are available only in the web version of Yandex Disk at disk.yandex.com. You won't be able to access them from the desktop or mobile app.

Actions with shared disks

To access shared disks, on the left panel, click Shared access → Shared disks.

Other actions with the list of shared disks are available only to the organization administrator in Yandex 360 for Business. To learn more, see Shared disks.

• View user activity (you can filter events by type and folders) and the version history on Yandex Disk.
• For the View access level: view, download, and copy files.

• No more than 1000 documents can be edited on the shared disk at the same time.

Download a large folder

When using a browser, you can only download folders of up to 5 GB with less than 500 files from a shared disk. If the folder is larger, download the files one by one.

Not enough space on personal Yandex Disk

• If access to your personal Yandex Disk is restricted, you'll still be able to access the shared disk and can use it as usual.
• If access to your Yandex Disk is completely blocked, you won't be able to access the shared disk.
