In their own words
Yandex Disk
Yandex Disk stores files in the cloud and lets users manage them from internet-connected devices. Its free plan provides 5 GB of storage, and file versioning is available. The service supports web access and tools for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. On desktop, users can choose files and folders to sync, but desktop sync requires a Yandex 360 plan. The web interface previews supported documents, images, archives, ebooks, audio, and video. Files and folders can be shared using public links with configurable access settings. Mobile apps can automatically upload photos and videos; paid plans offer unlimited storage for eligible phone media. Prices include Personal 1 TB at $3.17 a month or $22.75 a year, Family 1 TB at $3.80 a month or $31.89 a year, and Pro 3 TB at $12.50 a month or $75 a year. Family 1 TB provides 1 TB per member for up to eight members. Yandex Disk supports business admin controls and WebDAV access on a Yandex 360 plan. Linux users can also manage files with a console client. Yandex says files are scanned for viruses and data transferred through the app or site is encrypted.
