Yandex Disk
AeroFTP connects to Yandex Disk via the official REST API with OAuth2 authentication. Yandex Disk provides 5 GB of free storage.
Connection Settings
Authentication is handled via OAuth2:
- Click Connect on the Yandex Disk protocol.
- A browser window opens to Yandex's authorization page.
- Sign in and approve access.
- Authorization completes automatically.
OAuth tokens are stored encrypted in the OS keyring. To use your own OAuth credentials, enter a Client ID and Client Secret in Settings > Cloud Providers.

Tips
- Yandex Disk provides 5 GB free. Additional storage can be earned through Yandex promotions or purchased.
- Yandex also offers Yandex Object Storage (S3-compatible). This is a separate service configured using the S3 preset (
storage.yandexcloud.net). - For AeroSync, Yandex Disk provides modification timestamps and MD5 hashes for reliable change detection.
- If you are outside Russia/CIS, connection speeds to Yandex servers may be slower due to geographic distance.
