Yandex disk indicator
Yandex.disk Indicator is python wrapper for yandex-disk CLI utility. It shows synchronization status in desktop panel (within indicators plugin) and inform about synchronization status changes via desktop notification (notifications can be switched off). Indicator menu shows the Yandex-disk status and properties (total, used and available space) and list of last synchronized files. Raw output from 'yandex-disk status' call can be reviewed by click on current status. In settings menu you can tune indicator behavior and setting of yandex-disk daemon.
Indicator also provides file-manager extensions for: Nautilus, Thunar, Nemo, Dolphin, Pantheon-files, Caja. The extensions allows to publish and unpublish files/catalogs from file-manager's context menu.
Interface languages supported: English, Russian, Greek, Bulgarian, Belorussian.
Also pay your attention to the little simplified versions of the indicator yd-go. It uses D-BUS to communicate with the desktop notification plugin, that's why yd-go is fully independent off Desktop Environment.
