Helpful Hints

How to synchronize my Yandex with the Documents module?

You can easily synchronize your Yandex account with the 'Documents' module of your portal just within a few minutes.

A full-access administrator or the Documents module administrator must turn on the Allow users to connect third-party storages switcher in the Admin Settings section at the left sidebar to make it possible for the portal users to connect third-party clouds in their accounts on the portal. If this setting is disabled, the administrator also cannot connect third-party clouds in the Documents module.
  1. Enter your portal.
  2. Click the Documents link on the start page.
  3. In the opened 'Documents' module, click Connect and click the Yandex Disk icon.

    Connect section

    Or, go to the 'Settings' section at the left sidebar, choose 'Connected clouds' option and click the Connect cloud button.

  4. Fill out the Login and Password fields.
  5. Specify the title of a new folder where the documents from your Yandex Disk account will be located or leave the default option as it is.
  6. Click the Save button.

Your documents will be available in the specified folder in the 'Documents' module of your portal. Now you can:

  • edit the data stored at Yandex services right in Online Editors without any additional downloads,
  • share the files from the connected clouds with your colleagues,
  • move them between the accounts,
  • download resource folders to any other location.
Can I place the files from another resource to any section within Documents?

If you don't have administrator rights for the Documents module, all the documents from another resource will be put into the 'My documents' section.

Being an administrator (with full access or within the Documents section only), you can place the files to the 'Common' section checking the Make shared and put into the 'Common' folder box. In case this box remains unchecked, the files will be placed to the 'My documents' section.

Can I remove the added resource from the online office without deleting the data itself?

You can do it by clicking the Show Folder Actions icon icon and selecting the 'Disconnect third party' option in the menu. The documents will be still available at your Yandex account.

What should I bear in mind deleting a document from the resource folder?

If you decide to delete a document from the resource folder, it will be also deleted from your Yandex account. Besides this file won’t be placed to the 'Trash' section of the 'Documents' module, i.e. the removal will be irreversible.
