I edited the file, but the changes didn't sync
If you opened and changed a downloaded Yandex Disk file on your phone and the changes didn't sync automatically, it's because sync wasn't enabled in the Yandex Disk app. In this case, you can download and upload files only manually. But you can enable photo and video uploads to unlimited storage. How to do this
Video or image quality has decreased
Images are stored on Yandex Disk in their original quality. They are not compressed during upload. However, the Yandex Disk app generates lower-resolution previews to reduce data traffic and provide a smoother user experience. You'll see a preview if the file size doesn't exceed 50 MB. To view an image in its original quality, download it to your mobile device.
If the video quality is low in the app, it's probably because the video player is set to a low resolution. You can select a higher resolution. In the app, you can watch videos in the maximum quality 1080p. If the video resolution is higher, you can download it to your mobile device to watch it in the original quality.
