Yandex Disk storage space

You can manage your Yandex Disk, see how much free space is left, and purchase additional space if needed: when you make a purchase, the Yandex 360 plan is activated automatically.

How can I see how much space is left on my Yandex Disk?

To view the total Yandex Disk space and the amount of space used, check the indicator in the bottom left corner of the Yandex Disk window:

How do I get more space on Yandex Disk?

• Delete unnecessary folders and files, and then empty the Trash: files and folders moved to Trash also take up space on Yandex Disk.
• Activate a Yandex 360 plan with the amount of space you need.
• Use a promo code.
• Participate in promotions organized by Yandex 360 or our partners.

What happens if I run out of space on Yandex Disk?

When there's no more space on your Yandex Disk, access to Yandex Disk is restricted. If you don't take any action, Yandex Disk will be blocked after 44 days, and after 90 more days, all files on Yandex Disk will be permanently deleted.

Access restriction

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.

Yandex Disk block

When Yandex Disk is blocked, you can't access it.

To unlock Yandex Disk and regain full access:

• Purchase more space. Upgrade to a plan with more storage so you don't have to free up space by deleting uploaded files. For example, if you have 900 GB of files, upgrade to the 1 TB plan. After the plan is activated, Yandex Disk will be unblocked within a few minutes.

• If you don't want to upgrade your plan, please free up some space.

  1. Contact support. Specify the blocked account username in the email.
  2. Expect a reply email: we'll temporarily unblock Yandex Disk.
  3. Once your Yandex Disk is unblocked, delete the files you no longer need or empty the Trash (items in the Trash take up space, too). If necessary, download the files to your computer before deleting them.

I've run out of space on Yandex Disk. Why?

Yandex 360 plan was deactivated

Check your Yandex 360 plan. If it's deactivated, the extra space on Yandex Disk will also be disabled.

The promotion period has ended

Your space on Yandex Disk may be reduced when the promotion that has granted you the additional space expires.

You filled all the available Yandex Disk space with data

If your files have completely filled up your Yandex Disk, there are several ways to buy additional space.

I see the message “No more space on your Disk”, but there is still a lot of free space

You can sometimes see this message in Yandex Disk. Additionally, the actual space taken up by files on Yandex Disk may be less than the occupied space shown by the indicator (in the bottom left corner of the Yandex Disk page). This is because the files you moved to the Trash on the Yandex Disk page or deleted in Yandex Disk for desktop still take up space on your Yandex Disk. They will be automatically deleted in 30 days. If you're running out of space, empty the Trash in advance.

It can also happen if you use different accounts in the browser and in the Yandex Disk desktop application. Make sure that the account you're using in the browser is the same account you're using in the Yandex Disk desktop application.

Monthly file upload limit

The amount of data you can upload to Yandex Disk is limited to a maximum of twice the storage capacity of your current plan. For example, with a Yandex Disk capacity of 5 GB, you can upload a maximum of 10 GB per month if you occasionally free up space on your Yandex Disk.

If you reach your monthly limit within 30 days of your first upload, your Yandex Disk actions will be limited for the rest of the period: you will only be able to view and download files. After 30 days from your first upload, the limit will be reset and you'll be able to upload files to Yandex Disk again. To increase your monthly limit, activate the Yandex 360 plan: the more space you have on Yandex Disk, the higher your monthly limit.

For example, if you started uploading files on July 1, then the period during which all your uploads will be totaled will last until July 30. If you reach the limit on July 5, the restrictions will be in effect from July 5 to July 30, inclusive. On July 31, the limit will be reset, all restrictions will be lifted, and the next period will begin. The period will be reset even if you don't reach the upload limit in July.
