Notes

You can create notes in Yandex Disk. They are automatically saved to the cloud, so you won't lose them if something happens to your computer. You can also use your notes on several computers at the same time, for example, at home and at work. To do this, sign in to Yandex Disk on both computers.

Restriction. Notes are only installed on computers running OS versions 7 and later (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10).

Create a note

Click New note. Dictate the text in a note or type it. Make it easier to navigate the text of your note by formatting it: bold or italicize your text, underline it, or format it as a list. A note can be up to 50,000 characters long.

You can also add an image or other file to your note. The following image formats are supported: JPG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, BM, SVG, ICO. You can add up to 40 images to one note.

To keep an important note at the top of the list, pin it. Choose it and click the icon in the upper-right corner.

Restriction. You can create up to 500 notes.

Delete a note

If you no longer need a note, you can delete it by clicking the icon in the upper right corner and confirming the deletion.

Note. You can't restore deleted notes.

Hot keys

To open Notes, use the shortcuts Ctrl + Alt + B, to create a new note, use Ctrl + Alt + N.

To change the standard shortcuts:

Click the Yandex Disk icon in the system tray.
Select Settings.
Go to the Notes tab.
Click the field to the right of the action.
Enter a new keyboard shortcut.

Use Notes on different devices

You can use Notes on several devices, like your computer and phone, if you are signed in to Yandex Disk with the same account. Learn what platforms support Notes in the Notes section.

If you simultaneously edit the same note on different devices, Yandex Disk creates a copy of the note. Changes made on one device are saved in the original note, and changes made on the other are saved in the copy.
