--- title: "Yandex" description: "Yandex Disk" versionIntroduced: "v1.26" --- # {{< icon "fa fa-space-shuttle" >}} Yandex Disk [Yandex Disk](https://disk.yandex.com) is a cloud storage solution created by [Yandex](https://yandex.com). ## Configuration Here is an example of making a yandex configuration. First run rclone config This will guide you through an interactive setup process: ``` No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration password n/s> n name> remote Type of storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX / Yandex Disk \ "yandex" [snip] Storage> yandex Yandex Client Id - leave blank normally. client_id> Yandex Client Secret - leave blank normally. client_secret> Remote config Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote? * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N. y) Yes n) No y/n> y If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth Log in and authorize rclone for access Waiting for code... Got code -------------------- [remote] client_id = client_secret = token = {"access_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","token_type":"OAuth","expiry":"2016-12-29T12:27:11.362788025Z"} -------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y ``` See the [remote setup docs](/remote_setup/) for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser available. Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the token as returned from Yandex Disk. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is on `http://127.0.0.1:53682/` and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall. Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this, See top level directories rclone lsd remote: Make a new directory rclone mkdir remote:directory List the contents of a directory rclone ls remote:directory Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote path, deleting any excess files in the path. rclone sync --interactive /home/local/directory remote:directory Yandex paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`. ### Modification times and hashes Modified times are supported and are stored accurate to 1 ns in custom metadata called `rclone_modified` in RFC3339 with nanoseconds format. The MD5 hash algorithm is natively supported by Yandex Disk. ### Emptying Trash If you wish to empty your trash you can use the `rclone cleanup remote:` command which will permanently delete all your trashed files. This command does not take any path arguments. ### Quota information To view your current quota you can use the `rclone about remote:` command which will display your usage limit (quota) and the current usage. ### Restricted filename characters The [default restricted characters set](/overview/#restricted-characters) are replaced. Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](/overview/#invalid-utf8), as they can't be used in JSON strings. {{< rem autogenerated options start" - DO NOT EDIT - instead edit fs.RegInfo in backend/yandex/yandex.go then run make backenddocs" >}} ### Standard options Here are the Standard options specific to yandex (Yandex Disk). #### --yandex-client-id OAuth Client Id. Leave blank normally. Properties: - Config: client_id - Env Var: RCLONE_YANDEX_CLIENT_ID - Type: string - Required: false #### --yandex-client-secret OAuth Client Secret. Leave blank normally. Properties: - Config: client_secret - Env Var: RCLONE_YANDEX_CLIENT_SECRET - Type: string - Required: false ### Advanced options Here are the Advanced options specific to yandex (Yandex Disk). #### --yandex-token OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.

See the [encoding section in the overview](/overview/#encoding) for more info. Properties: - Config: encoding - Env Var: RCLONE_YANDEX_ENCODING - Type: Encoding - Default: Slash,Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8,Dot {{< rem autogenerated options stop >}} ## Limitations When uploading very large files (bigger than about 5 GiB) you will need to increase the `--timeout` parameter. This is because Yandex pauses (perhaps to calculate the MD5SUM for the entire file) before returning confirmation that the file has been uploaded. The default handling of timeouts in rclone is to assume a 5 minute pause is an error and close the connection - you'll see `net/http: timeout awaiting response headers` errors in the logs if this is happening. Setting the timeout to twice the max size of file in GiB should be enough, so if you want to upload a 30 GiB file set a timeout of `2 * 30 = 60m`, that is `--timeout 60m`. Having a Yandex Mail account is mandatory to use the Yandex.Disk subscription. Token generation will work without a mail account, but Rclone won't be able to complete any actions. ``` [403 - DiskUnsupportedUserAccountTypeError] User account type is not supported. ```
