What Is Mail.ru Cloud?
Mail.ru Cloud is an online file storage service for personal cloud files and sharing. OurClone can use Mail.ru Cloud for sync, transfer, encrypted backup, and mount workflows when connected.
Official website: https://cloud.mail.ru/
- Useful for users with files stored in Mail.ru Cloud.
- Works as a source or destination in migration tasks.
- Best for organized folder transfers and secondary backups.
What OurClone Supports for Mail.ru Cloud
| Operation | How it works in OurClone |
|---|---|
| Sync | Keep a folder on Mail.ru Cloud synchronized with another cloud storage account or a local folder. OurClone compares file changes and updates only what needs to change. |
| Transfer | Copy or move files between Mail.ru Cloud, your Mac, and other connected cloud providers. Transfers run through your local computer, so you stay in control of the data path. |
| Backup | Create an encrypted backup repository on Mail.ru Cloud, then save snapshots of local folders. Later snapshots are incremental, so unchanged files do not need to be uploaded again. |
| Mount | Mount Mail.ru Cloud as a local directory in macOS or Windows, then browse and manage remote files from the operating system file manager. |
Mail.ru Cloud Upload and Download Limits
These limits come from the storage provider or protocol, not from OurClone. OurClone still has to respect provider file-size caps, API quotas, bandwidth rules, account storage quota, and server-side throttling.
| Upload limits | No fixed public per-file upload limit was found in the provider documentation checked for this page. Practical limits depend on account storage quota, provider API throttling, file path rules, and network reliability. |
| Download limits | No fixed public download cap was found in the provider documentation checked for this page. Downloads may still be limited by bandwidth policy, sharing limits, API rate limits, or server configuration. |
| OurClone tip | For large OurClone sync, transfer, backup, or mount jobs, start with a small test folder, keep the computer awake, and check the Task log for provider throttling or quota errors. |
How to Add Mail.ru Cloud in OurClone
Mail.ru Cloud is added with account credentials in OurClone.
- Open OurClone and click Add Storage.
- Select Mail.ru Cloud from the provider list and enter a display name.
- Enter your Mail.ru Cloud email or username and password.
- Confirm the connection. Once verified, Mail.ru Cloud will appear in your storage list.
Sync and Transfer Workflow
After Mail.ru Cloud is connected, open the Migrate area in OurClone. Choose Mail.ru Cloud as the source or destination, select the folders you want to work with, then choose the task mode.
- Copy duplicates files while keeping the source unchanged.
- Move transfers files and removes them from the source after completion.
- Sync keeps the destination aligned with the source folder.
Task progress is visible in the Task tab, including completed, skipped, and failed files.
Backup Workflow
For backups, first create a backup repository on Mail.ru Cloud. A repository needs a name, a storage path, and an encryption password. Keep this password safe because it is required for both future snapshots and restores.
- Open Backup and create or choose a repository on Mail.ru Cloud.
- Open the repository and click New Backup.
- Select local folders such as
~/Documents,~/Pictures, or a project folder. - Start the snapshot. The first run uploads the full selection; later runs are incremental.
- Use Restore from a backup record when you need to recover files to a local directory.
Mount Mail.ru Cloud as a Local Folder
OurClone can mount Mail.ru Cloud as a local operating-system directory. This is useful when you want to browse cloud files in Finder or File Explorer, open files from desktop apps, or copy files with the same habits you use for local folders.
- Open the mount area in OurClone and select your connected Mail.ru Cloud account.
- Choose the remote path you want to expose locally.
- Pick a local mount point, then start the mount.
- When finished, unmount cleanly from OurClone before disconnecting your network or shutting down.
Best Practices for Mail.ru Cloud
- Use a clear folder naming convention such as
/ourclone-backups,/sync, or/archive. - Confirm that your Mail.ru Cloud account has enough storage before running a large migration or backup.
- Run a small test sync or restore before relying on a new workflow for important files.
- For large first-time jobs, keep your computer awake and connected to a stable network.
- If authentication fails later, reconnect the account or refresh the token before restarting the task.
