Photos

Photos displays:

  • Photos in JPG format you manually uploaded to Yandex Disk with a recorded date.
  • Photos in HEIC and HEIF formats you manually uploaded to Yandex Disk.
  • Photos in JPG and PNG formats and videos that were automatically uploaded to Yandex Disk from your phone or tablet (see Auto-upload photos and videos);
    Photos and videos that are stored on this device but haven't been uploaded to Yandex Disk yet.

Note

This section is created automatically, so you can't add photos to it manually.

Photos show up as thumbnails, and you can group them however you like. Just stretch or pinch the screen like you're zooming in or out on a photo. To do this, tap  → Change layout and choose the layout.

If you want to quickly find photos taken within a certain period of time, switch to the view by months and scroll through the list of photos.

Loading thumbnails

The app can download thumbnails over just Wi-Fi or any network (Wi-Fi, mobile data). Select the option in the settings.

Alert

Mobile data charges may apply.

Actions with photos

You can share photos, change them in the editor, download or delete them. To do this, open a photo and choose the required action at the top of the screen.

How can I tell which photos are stored on Yandex Disk and which on my device?

You can tell photos apart by the icons in their bottom right corner:

  • [no icon] — the photo was uploaded to Yandex Disk manually or automatically.
  • — the photo was automatically uploaded to Yandex Disk from your device.
  • — the photo hasn't been uploaded to Yandex Disk and is stored only on your device because auto-uploads are disabled or paused. This icon marks photos that were once automatically uploaded to Yandex Disk but were then removed from Photos.
