Hello dear visitors! If you have come to this page, then most likely you are interested in the question of storing files in the cloud. I’ll write now and, as is already customary on this site, I’ll show you in pictures, how to install and configure Google Drive . But I think it wouldn’t hurt to write a few words about what cloud storage is, why they are needed, and tell a little about Google Drive, also known as Google Drive.
In simple words, cloud storage is a service that provides you with a specific place on the Internet to store your files. One of such services is. He appeared on the market almost simultaneously and began providing his services. There are many more similar services, among which Dropbox is worth highlighting; perhaps there will be a separate article about it.
Why am I writing today about Google Drive? As you probably already guessed, I myself am using it now, and just yesterday I reinstalled the systems and I need to install this program on my computer again, I’ll just take screenshots :).
The convenience of such services, in particular Google Drive, is that you get a “flash drive” on the Internet on which you can store information, and most importantly, have access to it from anywhere where there is Internet and the ability to access service website. All you need is to know your username and password to access. Of course, Google has created applications for computers, tablets and smartphones on different platforms. All this is for the convenience of using the Google Drive service.
Immediately after registration, you will be given 5 GB of file storage for free. For 2.5 dollars you can increase it to 25 GB, and this is not a limit.
I think this useless theory is enough :), let's get down to business.
To use Google Drive, you need to create a Google account.
Of course, you need to register with Google in order to receive a username and password. You can read about how to create an account on Google in the article. Or if you already use at least one of Google's services, for example Gmail, then you can use the login and password that you already have to log into Google Drive.
To register with Google Drive, or to learn more about its capabilities, go to the page. Click the button on the right “Go to Google Drive”.
After registration, log into the site using your details.
How to install Google Drive on your computer?
Now we have come to the most important part of this article; now we will install a program that will allow you to conveniently work with Google Drive.
Let's go to . Let's go to the page.
Select the version for computers and click “Download”.
A window will appear in which you simply click “Accept the terms and install”.
A message will immediately appear that Google Drive is loading. Then the installation will begin.
When installation is complete, click “Close”.
That's it, installation is complete. The program will launch itself, click the “Login” button. Enter your address email and password, and click “Login” again.
A window will appear in which we click “Forward”.
In the next window, the program will inform you that all files that are already on Google Drive will be synchronized with a specially created folder on your computer. For additional settings, click “Advanced settings”, but you won’t see anything interesting there, you can change the location of this very folder, and indicate whether Google Drive can be launched when you turn on the computer, and that’s essentially all. Click the button "Synchronize".
That's all.
How to use Google Drive on a computer?
A Google Drive folder will appear on your desktop, and it will also appear in Explorer. Once you move your files to this folder, they will automatically be uploaded to the cloud and you can access them from any device. Or, when adding files from another device, say a tablet, they will automatically appear in this folder.
For example, when I need to transfer photos from my phone to my computer, I simply upload them to Google Drive, then on my computer I go to the Google Drive folder and copy them from there. It's even faster than connecting your phone via cable.
Also, a program icon will appear on the taskbar (in the tray), by right-clicking on it, you can see how much free memory you still have on Google Drive, and you can also go to the program settings.
1 voteHello, dear readers of the Start-Luck blog. Tired of choosing which game to get rid of on your phone in order to save a photo and vice versa? Yes, the number of gigabytes in smartphones is constantly increasing, but they are still sorely lacking. Our needs grow along with them.
Don’t want to lose important pictures and documents, but don’t know where to send them more securely? Indeed, VKontakte is a great thing, but hacking an account with each saved photo in a dialogue with oneself raises more and more concerns.
My article today will help you solve many problems. I continue to talk about cloud services. Today Mail.ru came into my field of vision.
I will tell you about the Mile cloud, how to use this storage and how convenient it is. In principle, like many products of this company, the cloud from Mail is not much different from its counterparts: Google Drive, OneDrive from Microsoft and so on, but I won’t bother you with English-language names that are not familiar to everyone. Let's talk about Mail ru.
What is a cloud
I would like to tell you in a nutshell for beginners. I have already devoted a separate article to this issue, but I believe that not everyone has read it. I don't suffer from delusions of grandeur.
So, if you know what it is, then it’s not difficult to guess what a cloud is. Essentially, it's the same thing.
Somewhere far, far away in the Mail offices there are, simply put, large flash drives. You create your personal account (storage) on this flash drive, and then throw your documents there. You can access your personal account from anywhere by logging into the site using your details, as well as from your phone through the application or computer through the program.
If you wish, you can give your document a title, which you can then give to a friend, and he can download the file to his computer. This is not necessary. Only you, the sole owner of the login and password for your personal account, can have access.
Advantages
What benefits do the clouds provide? You will never lose the necessary files, since they are, as I already said, somewhere far, far away. You have access to the necessary documents from anywhere in the world. You can easily and simply transfer photos to a friend via the Internet without meeting anyone in person.
In general, there are a lot of advantages.
Volume
Each company offers free storage space in different amounts. Yandex Disk - 10 GB, although not so long ago this company held a promotion and I managed to get as much as 35 GB for free for unlimited use for connecting the autoload function. I don’t transfer files from my phone to Yandex Disk, but they are downloaded automatically. It is quite possible that similar promotions will be repeated or held by other companies.
Mail.ru not long ago gave out 25 GB for free use, but now the volume has been reduced to 8. In principle, this may suit you. Or, you will work with Mail as additional storage. Together with Yandex, Google and some other cloud storage systems.
How to use
Mile's disk handling technology is no different from the others. First, you need to go to the official website. If you already have mail on mail, then simply click on the login in the upper right corner and enter your login and password. If there is no mailbox, then select “Registration” in the same right corner.
You will be asked to create an email account. To do this, enter your name and birthday.
It’s great that the system itself offers free and suitable ones. All that's left is . If you are tired of doing it yourself, then I can offer you a very convenient program RoboForm , She not only comes up with very complex passwords, but also stores them in her memory and enters them every time she sees a familiar interface.
It is not necessary to enter a phone number and additional email.
Ready. You're in the mail. At the top you can see a link-button to the cloud. Click on it.
And here is the welcome inscription. Accept the user agreement.
Computer
On the left side of your personal account screen you will see an application that can be downloaded to your computer. I highly recommend doing this. Since this greatly simplifies working with Disk.
Select the operating system that you have installed.
All, installation file downloaded and you can activate it by double clicking on the program.
Be careful not to install unnecessary features. For example, I don’t want to change the start page to the email one.
Now you see the shortcut on your desktop. Double-click and enter the username and password you recently created for your cloud.
The great thing is that now, in Explorer, when you open any folder, you can see the Mail cloud shortcut on the right. Click on it and you will be taken to a folder stored on the server. You can upload the necessary documents directly here and they will immediately appear in personal account. You can see them both from your phone and by going to the official cloud website using your data.
By clicking on the right button on the file, you will open an additional menu in which you can select the item: “Copy public link”. Select this option, pass the link to a friend and he can receive required document, if he enters your URL into the search bar of any browser.
Smartphone
As I already said, you can also access all documents from Mail Drive from your phone if you install a special application on it. I use android and the easiest way for me to find it is through Google Play. I enter the name into the search.
To exchange files between computers and mobile gadgets, you no longer need cables and flash drives. If devices have Internet access, files can “fly” between them “on the cloud.” More precisely, they can “settle” in cloud storage, which is a collection of servers scattered around the world (united into one virtual - cloud server), where users place their data for a fee or for free. In the cloud, files are stored in the same way as on a computer’s hard drive, but are accessible not from one, but from different devices that are able to connect to it.
Every second or third Internet user has already adopted cloud data storage technology and uses it with pleasure, but some still resort to flash drives. After all, not everyone knows about this opportunity, and some simply cannot decide which service to choose and how to use it. Well, let's figure it out together.
What are cloud storages from a user's point of view and how do they work?
If you look through the eyes of an inexperienced user, cloud storage is an ordinary application. All it does is create a folder on the computer under own name. But not simple. Everything you put into it is simultaneously copied to the same cloud Internet server and becomes accessible from other devices. The size of this folder is limited and can grow within the limits of the disk space allocated to you (on average from 2 GB).
If the cloud storage application is running and the computer (mobile gadget) is connected to global network, data on the hard drive and in the cloud are synchronized in real time. When working offline, as well as when the application is not running, all changes are saved only in the local folder. When the machine is connected to the Internet, access to the storage becomes possible, including through a browser.
Files and folders uploaded to the cloud are full-fledged web objects, the same as any content on Internet sites and FTP storages. You can link to them and share links with other people, even those who do not use this service. But only those to whom you have authorized it will be able to download or see an object from your storage. In the cloud, your data is hidden from prying eyes and is securely password protected.
The majority of cloud services have additional functionality - a file viewer, built-in document editors, tools for creating screenshots, etc. This, plus the amount of space provided, creates the main differences between them.
— a cloud data storage service that needs no introduction Windows users. Of course, in the latest releases of this OS (in the top ten), it actually climbs on top of everything on the screen, since it is configured to autorun by default.
For Windows users, the advantage of the Microsoft OneDrive service over its analogues is perhaps only one - it does not need to be installed. You also don’t need to create a separate account for it—to log into the cloud, you just need to enter your Microsoft account information.
The owner of one Microsoft OneDrive account provides 5 GB of free disk space to store any information. To get additional volume, you will have to pay extra. The maximum is 5 TB and costs 3,399 rubles per year, but this package includes not only disk space, but also the Office 365 application (home edition). More affordable tariff plans are 1 TB (2,699 rubles per year - storage and Office 365 personal) and 50 GB (140 rubles per month - storage only).
Additional features of all tariffs:
- Support for other operating systems - Mac OS X, iOS and Android.
- View and edit documents using built-in Office applications.
- Remote access to the entire contents of the computer (not just the OneDrive folder) on which the service is installed and your Microsoft account is used.
- Creation of photo albums.
- Built-in messenger (Skype).
- Creation and storage of text notes.
- Search.
Paid versions only:
- Creating links with a limited validity period.
- Offline folders.
- Multi-page scanning and saving documents to a PDF file.
In general, the service is not bad, but sometimes there are problems logging into your account. If you are going to work with the web version of the storage (via a browser) and log into it under a different IP address than you used before, Microsoft sometimes runs a check that the account belongs to you, which takes a lot of time.
There have also been complaints about user content being removed from OneDrive when Microsoft suspected it was unlicensed.
is one of the oldest cross-platform cloud storage services. Unlike the previous one, it supports all major operating systems, as well as some less commonly used ones, such as Symbian and MeeGo. The service is very easy to use, works quickly and stably.
A DropBox user is provided with only 2 GB of disk space for free to store personal files, but this volume can be doubled by creating and attaching another account to your account - a work one (which can actually be personal). Together you get 4 GB.
Switching between personal and work disk space on the DropBox website and in the application is carried out without logging out of your account (no need to enter your username and password each time). A separate folder is created on the computer for both accounts - 2 GB each.
DropBox, as expected, also has several pricing plans. About free it was said above, Paid ones are “Plus” (1 TB, $8.25 per month, intended for personal use), “Standard” (2 TB, $12.50 per month, for business), “Advanced” (unlimited volume, $20 per month for 1 user) and “Enterprise” (unlimited volume, individually set price). The differences between the last two are in the set of additional options.
In addition to storage, free users have access to:
- Document collaboration service DropBox Paper.
- Ability to share links and create public folders.
- Log of file changes with the ability to restore them to the previous version (up to 30 days).
- Commenting on files - both your own and other users, if the file is available for viewing.
- Search function.
- Receiving notifications about events (customizable individually).
- Automatic uploading of photos from the camera (by the way, DropBox provided users with additional space for enabling this option some time ago).
- Select full or selective synchronization.
- Encryption of data during storage and transmission.
The possibilities of paid tariffs can be listed for a very long time, so we will only note the main ones:
- Remotely destroy data from DropBox on a lost or stolen device.
- Limit the link's validity period.
- Two-factor account authentication.
- Setting access levels to different data.
- Enhanced HIPAA/HITECH class information protection (secure storage of medical records).
- 24/7 technical support.
DropBox, if not the best, is a very worthy service. Despite the small amount of free space by today's standards, it is used by millions of people around the world.
Mega (Megasync)
As is clear from the description, Amazon Web Services is aimed only at the corporate sector and is not intended for storing albums with photographs of cats, although it is possible that someone uses it for this too. After all, cloud file storage - Amazon Glacier, like Yandex disk, provides users with 10 free GB. The cost of additional volume is $0.004 per 1 GB per month.
Comparing Amazon Glacier with the web resources described above is perhaps incorrect, since they have slightly different purposes. The functionality and capabilities of this service are determined by business objectives, including:
- Uninterrupted operation, increased reliability.
- Compliance with enhanced data protection standards.
- Multilingual interface.
- Unlimited volume (expansion for an additional fee).
- Ease of use and flexible settings.
- Integration with other Amazon Web Services.
Those who are interested in Amazon's capabilities can read the complete documentation for AWS products, which is located on the official website.
Mail.ru
It ranks second or third in the popularity rating of file web storage among Russian-speaking audiences. In terms of its range of capabilities, it is comparable to Google Drive and Yandex Drive: like them, it contains web applications for creating and editing documents (texts, tables, presentations) and a screenshoter (a utility for taking screenshots). It is also integrated with other Mail.ru projects - mail, social networks “My World” and “Odnoklassniki”, the “Mail. Dating”, etc., has a convenient file viewer with a flash player and is also very affordable (for those for whom the allocated volume is not enough).
The size of the free disk space of the Mail cloud is 8 GB (previously this figure has changed several times). The premium tariff for 64 GB costs 690 rubles per year. For 128 GB you will have to pay 1,490 rubles per year, for 256 GB - 2,290 rubles per year. The maximum volume is 512 GB, which will cost 3,790 rubles per year.
Other functions of the service are not much different from similar ones. This:
- Shared folders.
- Synchronization.
- Built-in search.
- Ability to share links.
The Mail.ru client application works on Windows, OS X, iOS and Android.
Cloud storage is a proprietary web service for owners of smartphones and tablets of the same manufacturer. Designed to store backup copies of data from mobile devices - multimedia content, OS files and other things at the user's discretion.
Client Samsung app Cloud is pre-installed on phones and tablets released later than the second half of 2016 (more precisely, after the release Samsung Galaxy Note 7). Registering an account on the service is only possible through it, apparently to weed out outsiders.
The free storage capacity is 15 GB. An additional 50GB costs $0.99 per month, and 200GB costs $2.99.
iCloud (Apple)
- a favorite among cloud data storage users of Apple products. Of course, it’s free (though not very spacious) and integrated with other Apple services. The service is designed to store backup copies of data from iPhone, iPad and iPod, as well as user media files, mail and documents (the latter are automatically synchronized with the contents of iCloud Drive).
Free iCloud storage capacity is 5 GB. Extra space retails for $0.99 for 50GB, $2.99 for 200GB, and $9.99 for 2TB.
The iCloud client app supports Mac OS X, iOS, and Windows operating systems. There is no official application for Android, but owners of devices based on this OS can view mail from the Apple cloud on their device.
The top parade of cloud storages is completed by a Chinese service. As you can see from the screenshot, it is clearly not adapted for you and me. Why is it needed then, if there are domestic, European and American analogues that are more familiar to Russian-speaking people? The fact is that Baidu provides users with a whole terabyte of free disk space. For this reason, it is worth overcoming translation difficulties and other obstacles.
Registration on Baidu Cloud is significantly more labor-intensive than competitors. It requires confirmation with a code sent via SMS, but SMS from the Chinese server does not arrive to Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian numbers. Our fellow citizens have to get by by renting a virtual phone number, but that’s not all. The second difficulty is that an account cannot be registered with some email addresses. In particular, on the services gmail (Google is blocked in China), fastmail and Yandex. And the third difficulty is the need to install the Baidu Cloud mobile application on your phone or tablet, since this is exactly what 1 TB is given for (when registering on a computer, you will receive only 5 GB). And it, as you understand, is entirely in Chinese.
Aren't you scared? Dare - and you will be rewarded. Information on how to create an account on Baidu yourself is available on the Internet.
Hello everyone. With the development of computer technology, the storage capacity for our data increases. On the computer we store our photos, videos from various events, important documents and a lot of other valuable information. For all this, sometimes there are not enough installed hard drives. Have to buy either internal additional hard drive, or external. But in lately The quality of data storage devices has decreased slightly. The average period of work is 4-5 years. There is an opinion that manufacturers intentionally do this so that they buy new disks with a larger capacity.
Therefore, today the problem of preserving our data is very relevant. The Internet offers us some services that provide users with cloud storage for data storage. These are Dropbox, Yandex Disk, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Cloud Mail.ru and others. We have already described Yandex Disk in detail in the article “”. Today we will get acquainted with another service - Cloud Mail.ru
Cloud storage (Cloud) is a data storage model that is provided to the user online. That is, in simple terms, a kind of virtual disk where you can store and manage your information.
The Mail.ru Cloud service is available to any user registered on mail.ru. If you do not yet have such an account, or if you have lost your password.
Go to your mailbox and click on the link at the top “”
And select Cloud.
When we first enter this project, we are given information about this service.
By uploading files to the Cloud, you will have access to them from any mobile device through the application. More on this below. In the meantime, let's press
What’s convenient about using cloud services is that your data will be stored securely, even if your computer, laptop breaks down, or your hard drive burns out. We tick the box indicating that we agree to the terms of the license agreement. Click " Get started»
Initially, each person is given 25 GB free of charge. You can upload files up to 2 GB in size. If this seems not enough to you, then you can switch to paid tariffs, which for a certain fee increase overall size cloud storage, as well as upload files up to 32 Gigs. To switch to a paid tariff, click on the button " Connect tariff", then select the desired tariff and follow further actions. We will remain on the free plan.
By default, some files are already installed in the cloud. What to do with them is up to you. Leave it or not if you want. To delete these files, check the box next to them. To select all files with one click, check the general checkbox at the top left. Now we can delete, download, copy or move all files to another folder. The top right buttons set the sorting and view: tile and list.
When you hover your mouse over any file, you can download it and receive a link to it to share with your friends and acquaintances.
The mail.ru cloud allows us to create new files that will save automatically in storage. This is a simple text document ( Word document), table (Excel) and presentation. As an example, consider creating a document.
To do this, press the button “ Create" and then select " Document».
The new document will open in a new browser tab in an editor much like Word. The functionality is the same as the editor from Microsoft. All changes that you make to this document are automatically saved on the server in the Cloud.
To rename a file, go to the File tab
And select the appropriate item.
Close the current browser tab and go to the Cloud. Our First document was successfully saved.
Now, in order to return to it and continue working with this file, we click on it.
It will open as if in preview. Using the arrows ( 6 ) you can view the remaining files. You can perform the following actions with the document: send this file by mail, return to editing ( 1 ), get a link to it ( 2 ), by clicking on which your friends will be able to download this file; remove to cart ( 3 ) (Attention! Files that have been moved to the Cloud Recycle Bin are only stored 14 days, after which they are automatically deleted), open the file in full screen ( 4 ) and download ( 5 ) it to your computer or laptop.
In the same way, you can create an Excel table and presentation. The actions are similar to those described above.
Creating a folder
Before uploading our files to the Mail.ru Cloud storage, you need to create one or more folders. This will help you later not to search for the desired file among others. Thanks to folders, all data will be sorted.
Then we give the name " Music»
And click " Add" That's it, our folder is created.
How to upload files to Mail.ru Cloud?
Now let's go into this folder and add one .mp3 file.
There are 2 ways to upload files to the Mail.ru Cloud. First: use the button " Download", a window will open in which you specify the file to download through Explorer. Second way quicker. Just open the desired folder and drag the file to the cloud folder " Music" All uploaded files pass antivirus check. In a few seconds the file will be uploaded to the Cloud.
Play music.
The Cloud service has built-in audio and video players. To play the newly downloaded file, left-click on it.
And click on the small play triangle. If for some reason the music does not play, then click on the song name in the lower left corner. The audio player with the selected song will automatically launch in a new tab. In the same way, you can watch the downloaded video file online. Here you can perform the actions that we considered using the example of a text document: delete, receive a link, send by mail, download to your computer.
Download Mail.ru Cloud on your computer and mobile devices.
In order to have access to your data at any time, we created an application for both PCs and tablets and smartphones. Applications make it possible to add and manage your data without going to the service. In this case, all files are synchronized on all devices. Let's assume that if you copied or transferred a file to the Cloud via your computer, it will also appear in your application for your smartphone, laptop and tablet.
How to install Cloud Mail.ru?
To download Cloud mail.ru for your device, select the application for your operating system smartphone, tablet or computer
Let's look at an example of an application for a desktop computer or laptop. Click on the link " PC Application" The installer will download to . The installation process is standard, follow the installer's instructions.
When you launch the application for the first time, the following window will appear.

Next, you will be asked to specify a folder that will be synchronized with the mail.ru Cloud service. Create a special folder in advance and use the button Review indicate it. In order for the application to be added to startup, check the appropriate box. Click Continue.
Now, in order to send a file or folder(s) for storage in the Cloud, you just need to select the necessary files or folders, then through the context menu (call via the right mouse button) we select what we need: copy or transfer.
The folder or file will be moved or copied to the folder we created
Now this folder is available to you from any device.
How to attach a file from Cloud Mail.ru to a new letter
Now, when creating a new letter, you can attach not only files from your computer, but also from the Cloud. To do this, simply click on the Cloud icon.
After this, the file can be sent by mail to your friends and relatives.
Let me finish here. We looked at the main points of working with Mail.ru Cloud. I hope this information will help you save your information from any computer failures and hard drive. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments. Also write what cloud storage services you use. Until next time. Good luck to you.
A BOOK is a way of talking to many people through time.
