Yandex Disk - ArchWiki

From ArchWiki

Yandex.Disk is a free cloud storage service created by Yandex that gives you access to your photos, videos and documents from any internet-enabled device. The official Yandex.Disk console client lets you:

- synchronize files and folders with your Disk,
- get public links to files and folders,
- customize folder syncing.

## Installation

Install the yandex-diskAUR package. Note that it is a CLI client — there is no official GUI for it at the moment. For alternatives see #Unofficial clients.

To setup your proxy, user and local folder, enter

    $ yandex-disk setup

Syncing will start after completing this step, now you are ready to use Yandex.Disk.

## Commands

You can manage your folder using any file manager or console.

Full list of commands is available in `man yandex-disk` or using

    $ yandex-disk --help

Here are some examples of use:

- `setup` — Launch the setup wizard.
- `start` — Launch the daemon and start syncing folders. The current sync status is recorded in the file `.sync/status`.
- `stop` — stop the daemon.
- `status` — show daemon status: sync status, errors, recently synced files, disk space status. If FILE is specified, the status for this file will be returned.
- `token` — receive OAuth token, encode and save it in a special file (by default `~/.config/yandex-disk/passwd`). If the options `-p password` or `--password password` are not specified, the password will be read from STDIN.
- `sync` — sync the folder and log out (if the daemon is running, wait for syncing to finish).
- `publish` — make the specified file/folder public and print the link to STDOUT. The item will be copied to the sync folder. Use the option `--overwrite` to rewrite existing items.
- `unpublish` — removes public access to the file/folder.

## Unofficial clients

- eksterteraAUR — GUI client based on Qt5.
- yandex-disk-indicatorAUR and yandex-disk-indicator-gitAUR — GUI panel indicator.
- ydcmdAUR — console client written in Python 3.
