# Connect to Yandex Disk over WebDAV

Use WebDAV to manage your Yandex Disk files directly from Windows File Explorer or macOS Finder. Yandex Disk will appear as a regular folder on your computer.

{% note info "" %}

Starting June 22, 2026, WebDAV access requires a [Yandex 360 plan](https://yandex.com/support/yandex-360/customers/purchase/en/).

{% endnote %}

## When to use this method
When you connect via WebDAV, files remain only in the cloud. You need a stable internet connection to access them. If the connection drops, you won't be able to open your documents.

For most tasks, we recommend using the [Yandex Disk application](https://yandex.com/support/disk-desktop). Unlike WebDAV, the application lets you:

* Save files from the cloud to your computer so you can view and edit them offline.
* Share file links.
* Access shared folders.
* Delete files safely (they go to the Trash, where they can be restored, while files deleted via WebDAV are permanently erased).
* Take screenshots using the built-in editor and automatically save them to Yandex Disk.

You should only set up WebDAV if you prefer not to install a separate application and don't mind these limitations.

## Create an app password {#app-password}

To connect Yandex Disk to your computer, you will need a special [app password](https://yandex.com/support/id/en/authorization/app-passwords.html).

For your security, Yandex ID doesn't share your account password with any third-party applications. An app password grants access only to one service — for example, Yandex Disk. Even if someone finds out this password, they won't be able to access your email or entire Yandex account.

1. Open [Yandex ID](https://passport.yandex.com/profile).
1. Go to **Security** → **Access to your data** → **App passwords**.
1. Under **Create an app password**, select **WebDAV**.
1. Name your app password. For example, enter the name of the application or operating system you're creating it for.
1. Tap **Next**. The app password will appear in a new window. Copy and save it.

{% note warning "" %}

Created passwords can only be viewed once. If you forget it, delete the current app password in your Yandex ID settings, create a new one, and update it in your computer's connection settings. 

Your account password will remain unchanged, and your files will stay perfectly safe.

{% endlist %}

## How to connect to Yandex Disk from other applications

To connect to Yandex Disk from other file managers, use the following settings:

- **Server address**: https://webdav.yandex.ru.
- **Port** (if required): 443.
- **Username**: Your Yandex username.
- **Password**: Your [app password](#app-password).
- **Encryption**: SSL/TLS. If the application you're using doesn't support SSL, you won't be able to connect.

## Problems and solutions

{% cut "Wrong username or password" %}

Make sure that there are no extra spaces in your username and that you're entering your app password rather than your Yandex account password.

{% endcut %}
 
{% cut "I forgot my app password" %}

Delete your old app password and create a new one following the [instructions above](#app-password).

{% endcut %}

{% cut "Deleted files don't go to the Trash" %}

If you delete files or folders via WebDAV, they're permanently deleted and won't be moved to the Trash. You can't recover them. This is standard WebDAV behavior.
