I was invited to a shared folder

When you're granted access to a folder, you'll receive a notification by email. Open the email and click Accept invitation to have a copy of the shared folder appear on your Yandex Disk.

Depending on the access rights to the shared folder, users can do the following:

• Each authorized user can rename and move shared folders within their personal Yandex Disk. This does not affect granted or received access rights.

• Authorized users can revoke their own access to a shared folder by deleting the copy from their own Yandex Disk.

• The folder owner can delete it. To do this, disable sharing the folder, then remove it and empty the Trash. In this case, all users will lose access to the folder.

• Users with Edit access can view, download, change, publish, and delete files from a shared folder.

• Users with View access can view and download files from a shared folder.

  Note

  If you want but can't change or delete a file from a shared folder, ask the owner to give you edit access to the folder.

When you make changes within a shared folder, such as renaming or adding a file, all the authorized users can see your changes. Information about the changes also appears in History on their Yandex Disk.

How to access a shared folder quickly?

You can see the list of folders that you have granted or gained access to on the Shared folders page. Each shared folder is marked with the icon.

Do other people's folders use up space on my Yandex Disk?

No, a shared folder takes space only on its owner's Yandex Disk. Once you accept the invitation, the service copies the folder to your Yandex Disk, but space occupied by the folder isn't counted. This means you can accept an invitation to access a folder of any size, regardless of the space available on your Yandex Disk.

If you run out of space on your Yandex Disk, you won't be able to upload files to a shared folder, even if you are not the owner of this folder. If you want to be able to upload files to a shared folder, make sure you have some free space on your Yandex Disk.

Collaborate on documents

If the document owner grants you edit access to the folder that contains the document, you can edit the document together.

The changes made while editing are saved automatically. In the top right corner of the screen, you can see who is currently working on the document.

If you received a link to a document that you want to edit but can't, ask the owner to grant you edit access to that document.

I can't upload a file to a shared folder

Most likely, there's no more free space on your or the folder owner's Yandex Disk.

When there's no more space on your Yandex Disk, you can't:

• Upload new files
• Share files and create shared folders
• Open files shared earlier via public links
• Efficiently work with the files you've uploaded earlier.

To lift the restrictions, purchase additional space or delete the files you no longer need and empty the Trash (files in the Trash also take up space). If necessary, download the files to your computer before deleting them.
