tg-yd-bot

tg-yd-bot - simple Telegram bot, which just resend your files from the Telegram chat with bot to selected Yandex.Disk folder. You can use it both from host or from the Docker. Feel free to send any requests about it.

When sending or forwarding photos & documents in chat with bot, it will save all to Yandex Disk in a folder (by default "bot_uploads" but you can set your own YANDEX_FOLDER for it). The bot accepts files from specific users by checking their Telegram ids. For users whose ids are not specified, the bot will not show any activity. This project made from cloud-saving-bot from Artem Nasakin
