2021: Launch of Document Collaboration Service
On April 26, 2021, Yandex announced the launch of a service for working with documents, spreadsheets and presentations. This competitor Google Docs was called Yandex.Docs. Now Yandex users can not only send documents to Mail and store them on Disk, but also edit them.
Yandex claims that the service is suitable for collaboration when editing contracts, maintaining a customer base or preparing a presentation. Moreover, you can connect colleagues to work, even if they do not have a Yandex account - simply by sending a link. The history of changes for each file is also supported so that it can be returned to one of the previous versions - for example, if the wrong paragraph is accidentally deleted.
Yandex.Docs supports docx, xlsx and pptx format files and can convert older versions to them. The service first shows the files that were opened last. Users can sort files by name or size. The most necessary of them can be fixed.
By April 26, 2021, Yandex.Docs are not available to all users, but after some time this will be corrected. The service works on personal computers and smartphones. You can connect to the "Documents" yourself, for this you need to follow the link docs.yandex.ru.
The Yandex.Documents service uses the P7-Office editor. It is important for us that Yandex is so open about cooperation and partnerships with other companies. This helps us to show all the advantages and competitiveness of the domestic oofis solution for users and business, - said TAdviser Natalia Agafonova, General Director of the developer "P7-Office." |
Along with the launch of Yandex.Docs, the company announced changes in the set of services: now it is called Yandex 360, since "now it has everything you need to work: not only services for business communication and file storage, but also for working with documents."
Yandex.Docs are included in the Yandex 360 package along with a messenger (Yandex.Messenger), mail, cloud storage and other programs.[1]
