If you connect to the internet from someone else's device and don't want the browser to save your username and password, enable private mode.

Switch to another account
If you use several Yandex accounts, you can switch between them without entering your username and password:
You can choose an account in Yandex Disk, Yandex Mail, and other Yandex services that support this feature. This account is considered the primary account: it is used to authorize you in services that don't support switching yet.
You can add no more than 15 Yandex IDs to the list. To remove an account from the list, switch to that account and follow the Log out link. The current username disappears from the list and you automatically switch to the next one.
Log out from Yandex Disk
Open the account menu in the top right corner of the screen and click Log out.
If you forgot to log out of Yandex Disk on someone else's device, go to Yandex ID → Security → Devices and click Log out on all devices.
Alert
For further access to Yandex services, you will need to re-enter your username and password on each device.
How do I change my password or the answer to my security question?

Data transfer from another cloud storage
If you need to move your files from another cloud storage to Yandex Disk, download these files to your computer, then upload them to your Yandex Disk.
The Yandex Disk application simplifies this process: it supports large data transfers, pauses and resumes uploads during connection interruptions, and allows you to upload files from a dedicated folder on your computer.
How to transfer files through the Yandex Disk desktop application:
- Download your files from the cloud to your computer.
- Install the Yandex Disk application and launch it.
- Log in to your Yandex account to transfer files.
- Drag the files into the application window or the Yandex Disk folder on your computer.
- Wait for the upload to complete.
For information on how to use the Yandex Disk application, see Yandex Disk for desktop.

Delete your Yandex Disk account
Yandex Disk is enabled by default for all Yandex users and can't be disabled. So it is impossible to delete a Yandex Disk account. But you can delete all files on Yandex Disk and stop using it. In this case, you still can access other Yandex services (for example, Yandex Mail).
