How to upload photos to the cloud. How to create your own cloud where you can store any amount of data for free

If you use cloud storage, then you probably know that you can upload files of a limited size to the cloud, for example, on mail.ru the limit is up to 2 gigabytes. In this article you will learn how to add a file of any size to various cloud storages.

The cloud can be used in many ways. You can use a special application that is installed on your computer, and with the help of it you upload files to cloud storage.

But, the disadvantage of this method is that this application creates a specific folder (cloud storage folder). Everything would be fine, but this folder, in addition to sending files to the cloud, also duplicates them on your computer. Thus, taking up space on your computer’s hard drive.

To prevent this from happening, we have to delete the application and upload files directly to the cloud using a browser. Well, that's what I personally do.

And this is where we run into the file size problem. Cloud mail.ru does not allow you to add files larger than two gigabytes. What to do? What if, for example, our file weighs 3 gigabytes? Now, I will tell you how to deal with this.

We split the file into several archives

It is necessary to split this file or files into several archives. You can use any data archiving program. I use the 7-ZIP program.

I select the required file.
I right-click on the file.
The context menu opens. I point to the “7-ZIP” item and select “Add to archive”.

The archiving settings window will open. Here you need to find the item “Split into volumes of size (in bytes)”. In this item you need to set a value that allows you to add the file to the cloud. It all depends on which cloud you are going to add the file to. For example, I want to add to mail.ru, they have a limit of no more than 2 GB. So I set the value, say 1900 MB.
Then click “OK” and archiving begins.

The bottom line is that the file we need will be divided into several archives, and the size of each archive will not exceed 1900 MB. This will give us the opportunity to upload all created archives to the cloud.

How to combine archives to get complete information

Now let's look at how we can get complete information from a file divided into archives.

Let's say you needed a file that you uploaded to the cloud. How to use it?

Download all created archives (archives of this file).
After you have downloaded everything, select all the archives that make up your file. This can be done by holding down the left mouse button and scrolling through all the archives. Or, you can left-click on the top archive, hold down the “Shift” button and left-click on the bottom archive. All files will be highlighted.
Right-click on any of the archives and a context menu will open.
In this menu, point to “7-ZIP” and select “Extract here”.

That’s it, after unpacking, this file will be in this folder, in the form in which you archived it.

Thus, by splitting files into archives, you can add any files, even huge ones, to the cloud. The main thing is that there is enough space on the cloud.

Below is a video in which I showed how this is all done. Oh, by the way, if you don’t have an archiver program, then you can use the free 7-ZIP program. Here is a link to her official website.

I hope this note was useful to you. or to the channel "Instructor PC".

By default, full two-way synchronization is carried out between the web interface and the application on the computer - if you delete a file from the Cloud in the web interface, the file is deleted in the application, and vice versa: when you delete a file in the application, you delete the file in the Cloud. If you don't want full synchronization, you can set up selective synchronization. To do this, right-click on the Cloud icon and go to the “Select folders” section.
In the window that opens, uncheck the boxes next to those folders for which you want to cancel synchronization and click “Select”.
If the folder was previously synchronized, it will be deleted from your computer, but the folder, as well as all the files it contains, will be saved in the Cloud in the web interface. To re-enable synchronization for a previously deleted folder, right-click on the Cloud application icon, click “Select folders” and check the box next to the name of the required folder. You can also temporarily disable...

Send a large file via mail.ru cloud

Continuing the lesson about dropbox, we cannot ignore the new service of the Mail.ru Group company - cloud data storage: [email protected]. By providing each user with 100GB of disk space for free, this cloud storage has left all possible competitors far behind. Having an account - a mailbox in mail.ru, we get full access to this remote data storage. Using the cloud through the web interface: cloud.mail.ru, that is, working with the cloud in any browser, without any additional registration, you can select files up to 2GB on your computer and upload them to the cloud server.

Let's see how to work in the cloud.

On the service page, on the “Cloud” tab, a content management system is conveniently implemented in the form of buttons: files and folders in the cloud. Click the "+Upload" button to add - copy files from your computer to the cloud. Using the "Download" button we perform the reverse operation - upload a copy of the file from...

The Mail.Ru group of companies has released its cloud storage called “Mail.Ru Cloud”.

The amount of free space in cloud storage is up to 100 GB, comparable to the size of a small hard drive. Other cloud storage services provide completely different amounts of data storage for free.

Yandex.Disk provides 10 GB for free, which can be increased to 20 GB for free (you can also temporarily use even more disk space), Google Drive provides 15 GB (including mail) of space on your disk, Microsoft SkyDrive " - 7 GB, "Dropbox" - 2 GB (can be increased to 16 GB for free), and cloud storage "Mega" provides 50 GB of disk space for free.

You can store your data in the Mail.Ru Cloud: documents, photos, videos and any other files. To log into the cloud storage, you can use the web interface or a client application that will need to be installed on your computer or smartphone. Client applications are developed for Windows...

So, take advantage of it while they give it to you, especially since the vast majority of users have already had electronic mailboxes on Mail.ru for a long time and they don’t need to do anything to take advantage of these 100 gigabytes. In addition, any of your files contained in the Mail.ru cloud has its own link and you can post your files on the Internet for public downloading.

Note: if you do not have an email account on Mail.ru, go to the end of the article, it explains in detail and very simply how to do this.

So, I think that you have already opened a mailbox on Mail.ru, which means we are taking our 100GB!

Cloud Mail ru is a virtual flash drive accessible from any device connected to the Internet. I have already considered a similar cloud service using Yandex.Disk as an example.

From December 30, 2014, all new Cloud users, firstly, receive 25 GB for free. The amount of free space provided to all users registered before December 30, 2014 remains unchanged - 100 GB and 1 TB (for those who participated in the promotions).

Secondly, it is no longer possible to save files weighing more than 2 GB in the Cloud, both for users of the web version of the cloud and for users of the client (Cloud program). Already downloaded heavy files are still available without any restrictions.

Below are detailed instructions on how to get started with the Mail ru Cloud. All steps are important and it is not recommended to skip them.

How to transfer a file over the Internet

We will talk, first of all, about large files, because there are no problems with small ones - they can be sent by mail, via Skype or a social network.

But with large ones it is much more difficult to do this, since they usually take a very long time to download and at the most inopportune moment the download may be interrupted.

We need a method that will allow both us and the person to whom we want to transfer the file to download it as quickly and easily as possible. That is, so that we don’t strain ourselves, and the recipient doesn’t have to suffer installing additional programs.

You can transfer files over the Internet as quickly and easily as possible using cloud storage services.

The principle is as follows: You upload a file to your cloud, after which you receive a link to download it. You send this link to the person you want to transfer the file to. All! A person clicks on it and downloads it.

What is “Cloud” from Mail.ru?

In the summer of 2013, Mail.ru launched its new service – Cloud. This service is designed for secure storage of files in the so-called cloud space. The service allows you to place any files in the Cloud, which can be accessed from any of your devices (computer, tablet, smartphone) and synchronize them. In addition, it is possible to automatically upload pictures taken on a smartphone to the Cloud. Its main advantage over similar services is the amount of space provided for storing personal data. For example, the standard 100 GB of space, with the possibility of increasing it to 1 TB, is provided by [email protected] completely free of charge. Let's say that Dropbox provides users with 100 GB of file storage for $99 per year. Therefore, the service from Mail.ru, almost immediately after its release, became popular among users.

Hi all!

Today I want to tell you about cloud data storage from Mail.ru. I have been watching this cloud since the beginning of 2014, or rather since I was lucky enough to get 1TB of free space on a promotion in this file storage.

Despite the fact that the promotion for distributing a free terabyte ended a long time ago, the Mail ru Cloud still remains quite a tasty morsel for users. Because compared to 10 free gigabytes in Yandex.Disk and 15 GB in Google Drive, 100 GB in the Mail.ru Cloud seems unheard of generosity. This data warehouse can only be compared to Shared.com, which I already wrote about once on this blog.

By the way, in Yandex.Disk you can buy the same 100 GB for 150 rubles per month, and in Google Drive the same number of gigabytes will cost you a little cheaper - 2 dollars a month.

There’s probably no need to tell you how to start using the Cloud? Because if you already have...

Download cloud mail ru

You may have heard from smart people or simply read on the pages of smart magazines about such an interesting term as cloud, cloud computing, or storing information in the cloud. A cloud is a collection of servers with Internet access. When something is in the cloud, it means it is stored on servers on the Internet instead of on your computer. It allows you to access your calendar, email, files, from any computer that has an Internet connection.

If you've ever used web-based email, you've used the cloud. All emails in your mailbox are on servers. However, there are many different services that use the cloud, and in different ways. Here are just a few examples of the most common services in this family:

Dropbox is a cloud that allows you to easily save and share files with other users. This service allows you to access...

Mail.Ru cloud works on all the most popular desktop and mobile platforms: Windows, Linux 64-bit, Linux 32-bit, MacOS, Android, iOS and WinPhone. You can enjoy the benefits of the Cloud no matter what device you have.

High speed of uploading and downloading files

Files are uploaded to the Cloud in a matter of seconds. We do not limit the upload and download speed, it only depends on your Internet connection.

25 GB - free and forever

This note is intended for users strangers with cloud data storage - for those who do not know how to start using them.

Today we will talk about what a “cloud” is for storing files. Let's talk about choice. Let's try to create.

What is cloud file storage?

“Cloud” is space allocated to the user on the hard drive of a server located on the Internet. This space can be used like a regular folder, as if it were located on your computer.

Indeed, when you connect the cloud to your computer, a special folder is created on it. The peculiarity of this folder is this: everything that goes into it is immediately transferred to the cloud. In a word, the contents of the local folder are synchronized with exactly the same folder on the server.

What benefits does using the cloud provide to the average user?

For the average user, cloud data storage provides many interesting advantages:

At the moment, there are a huge number of storage facilities of various sizes. There are domestic and foreign. Foreign ones include Dropbox and Google Drive. From domestic ones - [email protected], Yandex.Disk.

It would be wrong not to mention Chinese technologies that allow the user to store more than a terabyte of data. Perhaps such proposals are suitable for some, but something inside tells me that it is not logical to store 1 TB of photos or documents on a server in China.

So let's begin. If you have mail on Yandex, Mail.Ru, GMail - congratulations! You do not need to register anywhere else. Users of these services have access to cloud storage immediately.

For those who have a Google account - Drive.Google.Ru

For Yandex account owners - Yandex.Disk

At the time of writing, 100 GB are available to us in our [email protected] storage since a promotion was held several years ago. Now, when you register for the service, you will be given not much, not little - 25 GB of cloud space.

On Yandex.Disk we have 10 GB of usable space, Google kindly provided us with 15 GB for three services - Photos, Mail, and Disk itself.

It would be a sin not to mention another foreign storage that is popular in Russia - Dropbox.com

Initially, this storage allows you to use only 2 GB of cloud space. But this volume can be increased several times almost in a matter of seconds after registration. You need to complete a few simple tasks, but more on that later.

Cloud storage client program

Every self-respecting cloud data storage service has its own application that allows you to automate all processes of storage, synchronization, and data management. All of the above services have applications for PC, MAC, iOS, Android, and Linux.

When installing such an application on any device, a special directory is created on it - a folder with the name of the cloud. Exactly what will go into this folder and will be synchronized with the cloud.

Applications allow you to import files from flash drives connected to a PC, and the mobile application can send photos taken with a smartphone to the cloud.

By installing the application on all your devices, you will get rid of many problems that arise when storing and moving data. For example, as mentioned above, photos from your smartphone will almost instantly go to the cloud and then to your computers - home, and, if desired, work. The same thing happens with documents - by saving unfinished work in the cloud, you can finish it at home. The benefits of cloud technologies are immediately visible.

You can download applications for Android and iOS in the corresponding stores, and for PC and MAC you just need to go to the repository website and download the client.

Connecting to Dropbox from scratch

Create a cloud for storing files

Let's try to register in the cloud data storage - Dropbox. To get started, follow this link. Fill in the fields: Name, Surname, Mail And Password, put tick agreement with the terms of service. Click the button <Зарегистрироваться> .

Immediately after this, you will be redirected to a page where you will be asked to download the Dropbox client. This has never happened before, apparently they decided to take the “bull by the horns” right away.

The web installer for the client program you want to run will download. This is exactly what the following screen offers:

The client will begin downloading and its subsequent installation on your computer.

The completion of the installation will be marked by a blue rectangular window asking you to start and open Dropbox.

Ahead of you are 4 or 5 screens with a story about the storage capabilities. You can read it, or you can skip it - you will find all this very well later yourself.

And now the long-awaited moment has arrived. A new folder has appeared on your computer - Dropbox.

Quickly log into your account

Let's go to your account on the Dropbox website. In order to do this quickly (without entering your username and password), open your newly created Dropbox folder, right-click on any empty space and select the item with the blue box icon "View on Dropbox.com"
The browser should open and after a couple of seconds, you will be taken to your storage account. What's interesting here?

Information

If we click on our name we will see detailed information about our capabilities.

Here we see that we are given only 2 GB of disk space for our needs. “Not enough,” you will say, and you will be absolutely right. 2GB is negligible for our time. Why do people use Dropbox?

Reliable
Cross-platform (MacOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, Android)
Free
Good download speed
Flexible file management options
View most documents in the web interface
Editing documents in the web interface
It is possible to “earn” additional space, but more on that below
Many sites allow their service to interact with your storage

Email confirmation

In order for us to fully use the data storage, we need to confirm your email address. If you have not received the letter, request it again right here, on the main page of the repository:

Let's check the mail - the letter is there:

Open the envelope and click on the blue confirmation button:

We will be redirected again to a page where we will be thanked for our confirmation:

Now, we can work with the cloud calmly.

Let's create a folder and “share”

Let's try to create a folder with any name. We will name the girl with whom we plan to exchange data using the cloud.

A small window will pop up in which:

Enter a friend's e-mail
Assigning powers to a friend
Let's share!

At that same second, Dropbox on your friend’s computer will receive a message that you have shared the folder with him, and if he agrees, your folder will be added to his account and become shared.

“Earning” additional space

Dropbox lets you expand your storage space with all sorts of promotions. For example, for each friend you invite (who installs Dropbox), you will receive an additional 500 MB of disk space.

And in general, it won’t hurt to complete all the tasks proposed by the system and you will be rewarded.

To be honest, 16 GB is apparently not the limit for a free account. Old account of one of the site's regular visitors:

Learn more about cloud storage options

Create a direct link to a file/folder

It has already been written above that Dropbox, and any other cloud, allows you to flexibly manage and especially share files. One of the examples was already above. But what if you don't want to create a shared resource in the cloud with someone? Then you can simply send the link by mail, VK, Odnoklassniki, etc. Open Dropbox on your computer, right-click on the file you want to get a link to, and click on the appropriate item.

Home and work computers

Set up Dropbox with your account on 2, 3, or more computers and they will all sync! Home, work, visiting mom, grandma - it doesn’t matter. You can always finish your work by opening the required file.

View and edit any type of document

Almost any storage allows you to view any document - video, animation, photos, office documents of almost any format. The latter can also be edited directly in the cloud (for example, if there are no office applications on your home computer, or for example, you want to quickly edit from a tablet). Documents are opened by simply clicking on the file on the cloud site. An additional option allows you to switch to editing mode.

Taking screenshots

Taking a screenshot with Dropbox is easy. Yandex.Disk has a function for instantly editing them, which Dropbox cannot boast of. And yet, in order to save the screenshot to the folder C:\Users\Username\Dropbox\Screenshots you just need to press a button on the keyboard.

You can immediately “share” the screenshot using the method described above and send it to a friend. All screenshots for this note were taken using Dropbox and processed in regular Paint.

Transferring pictures from a smartphone to storage

If you have the Dropbox app installed on your smartphone, you can configure it in such a way that your pictures and videos are instantly sent to the cloud, and therefore to your home computer.

Interaction with web services

Many web services that work with files (for example, online audio file converters) make heavy use of cloud storage to speed up the download and upload of audio, photo, and video files. You provide a link to a file in the cloud, and in a matter of seconds it “migrates” to the editor. After editing, you provide access to the cloud, and the file is uploaded to the cloud in a couple of seconds. You can leave the service, and the client will download the file from the storage to the computer.

A good example is the service for cutting and merging audio files www.mp3cut.ru, which is on the first line for the request “cut a song online.”

As you can see, it supports downloading from two popular storages, plus VK (why not cloud storage?).

Conclusion

We really hope we were able to help you. Cloud technologies are the future and have already arrived. Remember the same ChromeOS - without the Internet it is not much of a useful operating system, but connect to the network and it will flourish. Everything is built on cloud technologies.

Why this particular storage facility was chosen today has been written above. The purpose of this article is to briefly describe the capabilities of file storage. They are built according to the same principle. The difference is in volumes, speeds, appearance, etc. Try, register, install, work. Your data will always be safe and secure, no matter what happens.

If you are interested in a more detailed description of Dropbox, or would like to see something similar for other cloud storage services, write in the comments

The book was made from wonderful photos. The girl’s mother sent me the entire photo archive using the Mail.Ru Cloud service. It's very convenient! And there is no need to waste time on preliminary meetings. And, living in another city, making an order this way becomes easier than ever.

Perhaps you also have photos from the photo shoot. They need to be put into a photo book!

Send me a photo by email
It doesn’t matter what city in Russia you live in
The finished layout will be agreed with you step by step
The printed book is sent to you directly from the printing house
Payment is made by transferring the agreed amount to my individual entrepreneur account
I will definitely send all documents (invoice and certificate of work completed) upon completion of the work

As you can see, everything is simple!

And now a little instruction for those who don’t know how to send photos via file sharing. After all, it won’t be possible to load them into a letter, or even several (the “weight” of the photo is quite large, because to create a book you have to work with the originals). Only then will your photos remain sharp in the book.

How to send photos via Cloud Mail.Ru cloud service

Moving to cloud storage https://cloud.mail.ru/home/

Click the “Create” button in the upper left corner, then “Folder”

Give our folder a name (I'll leave it as "New Folder")

Our new folder appears in the left column. It doesn't have content yet.

Click "Upload" and "Select files". We select the necessary photos on the computer.

Hi all!

Perhaps most of us have at least once encountered such a problem as a lack of free space on a PC’s hard drive or an urgent need to access the necessary files, documents and photos.

Of course, a standard flash drive can save you in such a situation. But how often have you forgotten a flash drive at work, at home, with friends, or even lost it? And flash drives often break down.

It is much more convenient and reliable to store your information in the so-called cloud storage. I’ll tell you today what it is.

What is cloud storage?

Cloud file storage is a special remote server.

Many Internet resources allow users to store personal information on their server.

This service is provided both for a fee and free of charge. Of course, services with paid services provide the most opportunities, but free ones can also be very comfortable.

Cloud storage is a place where you can store your data, which you can access anywhere and at any time. Naturally, provided that the Internet is available in this place.

The “cloud” can be used after installing special programs or directly from . Nowadays, applications for accessing files on a server can be installed not only on a computer, but also on a tablet or smartphone.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Everything is clear about what cloud storage means, but what are its advantages? The main advantages of this method of data storage are:

Easy access to any files and documents;
In the event of a complete crash of the operating system, the content uploaded to the cloud will remain safe and sound;
All data can be stored forever;
Most Internet services provide these services completely free of charge.

Of course, in addition to the advantages, such a storage system also has certain disadvantages.

Some services are not able to provide encryption of information during transmission. This affects the security of sending your data.

The speed of operations depends on your Internet provider or mobile operator that provides Internet communication services.

But despite all this, one cannot but agree that the advantages of cloud storage are much greater than the disadvantages.

Google Drive

Google Drive cloud storage gives the user as much as 15 GB of space. If you need more, you can additionally purchase up to 30 TB.

Those who have repeatedly used services from Google, for example, google doc, will feel comfortable here. In addition, the Google Drive application is available not only for Windows OS, but also for Mac OS, Android, iOS.

Mega

Mega is a young but very promising cloud file hosting service created by Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom.

The advantage of this service over similar ones is complete confidentiality and data protection. Important features of the service:

encryption of all data in the browser using the AES algorithm;
the ability to exchange encrypted files between users;
keys to files are not published, but are transferred only in Friend-to-Friend mode.

For data storage, Mega provides you with up to 50 Gigabytes for free. Also, if necessary, you can additionally purchase:

500 GB for $10 per month,
2 TB for $19 per month,
4 TB ($30 per month).

In terms of disk space, Mega is the most profitable among cloud services.

But due to certain shortcomings, this service still loses, for example, in terms of synchronization with other devices.

Cloud mail.ru

A promising “cloud” from Russian developers from Mail.Ru Group. Here you can store any information, share it with other users and synchronize it across all devices.

The cloud can be used both through the web interface and through mobile applications for iOS and Android. In applications for mobile devices, the function of auto-uploading photos from an iPad or iPhone is available. By activating this function, you will automatically transfer photos created using the device to the Cloud.

You are immediately given up to 25 GB of free disk space.

Yandex.Disk

An excellent free service from good old Yandex, which allows you to save your files and share them with other users on the World Wide Web.

From the very beginning, Yandex.Disk gives the user 10 GB, which is much less than in other services. Additionally you can buy:

10 GB for 30 rub. per month
100 GB for 150 rubles per month,
1 TB for 900 rubles per month.

Also, as a bonus, you can additionally be given:

50 GB for shares with partners
512 megabytes for each referred friend (in this way you can increase the volume to a maximum of 10 Gigabytes).

It is important that Yandex.Disk can be integrated into Microsoft Office 2013, that is, you can immediately save documents to the “cloud” of this service.

There is also a business version of Yandex.Disk, which differs from the standard one in the presence of an API and certain functions to improve security.

Dropbox

This cloud file storage allows users to store their own data and share it with each other with a password. That is, in order for your friends to see the files that you prepared for them, you will have to tell them the password for the document.

The main account gives you 2 Giga for free. Additionally, you can purchase 1 terabyte for 10 euros per month. By signing up for a “Business” account (12 euros per month) you can get as much space as you need.

Dropbox works great on both PC and mobile devices. Unlike other similar products, this application does not copy edited files to the server, but transfers only the modified, pre-compressed part. This makes Dropbox much faster than its competitors.
