“We deliberately limited some of the functions of Yandex 360, including Disk, in order to preserve the main thing – the functionality of the services,” – said the resource RBC in the company.

Yandex has reportedly disabled the ability to mass download files in the web version of Disk. Also currently unavailable to users:

  • downloading one or more folders;
  • simultaneous downloading of several files;
  • album download;
  • “Download all” button when following a public link (you can select a separate file and download it).

The company noted that the software can still download both files and folders, if available. RBC confirmed that files cannot be opened in the Disk application, although it is quite possible to download a separate file.
