Yandex says that Mail is the second-most-popular service after search. But when it comes to registered users it looks like the numbers are significantly lower.
Yandex controls more than 60 percent of the search market, as of February 2012, and had 45 million unique visitors to its sites in December 2011. And it could be that Yandex is using the new service to grow those ranks. Yandex says it will be adding more of its own services to that list in future.ĭisk is currently invitation-only for those who are registered with Yandex. Like the integration that we’ve seen from to automatically save email attachments to services like Dropbox and Box, Yandex.Disk also automatically saves email attachments from users’ Yandex.Mail accounts - a service that is on top of that 10GB allowance. Once uploaded to Disk, the files can subsequently be accessed from any internet-enabled device. Like iCloud and Microsoft’s Skydrive, the service is aimed specifically at offering storage services that help keep users tied in to the rest of Yandex’s portfolio of products. Users of Yandex.Disk get up to 10 gigabytes of space that they can use for personal documents, photos, music and videos. Today the Russian search giant is launching its own answer to iCloud: a free, web-based storage product it’s calling Yandex.Disk. But for now it’s engaging in a little competition with Cupertino, and others.
Yandex, according to some speculation, may be in line to become the default search engine on devices that Apple sells in Russia.
