Baidu Yun (Baidu Cloud) Tutorial

... it meant to be a sort of survival guide ...

Several great resources of classical music to explore at the Chinese cloud service pan.baidu.com :

1) http://goo.gl/GzpZBo (by gdgdyy, without password)

2) http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJHKZ7H (Lordsidious)

 I. First Variant. Download directly without Baidu Yun application

 (simple to use but slow download speed)

Sample link (kindly privided by Lordsidious):
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJHKZ7H

A password  ( 密码 ):
6fne

First, open provided link, then enter the password (请输入提取密码) and press the blue button "提取文件" ("Go to files").

Then navigate to the file or folder you are interested in. Select that file or folder. After a file is selected, just click the "Direct Download" (right) button (下载) and download will begin.  You can select several files and they may be downloaded as one zip archive.

The left button (保存至网盘) executes the "Save to your network drive" option (see part II for details). 

If a folder is selected, only one option is available - "Save to your network drive". Clicking the "Direct download" button just prompts you to download the Baidu Yun Guanjia application.

In the next pop-up window just click (普通下载) "Normal download", right button,  and the download will begin immediately. Left button ( 加速下载（推荐） ) is the "Accelerated Download" button, available to registered users only.

II. 2nd variant. Using Baidu Yun Guanjia application

To register a Baidu account (Initially it is 5 GB of free space) go to

https://passport.baidu.com/v2/?reg&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpan.baidu.com&regType=1

For registration enter valid email address, which will be used later for login, enter password in the second field (digits, small and capital letters, length from 6 to 14 characters), and enter the captcha code in the third field, then press the blue button. You will see the pop-up message: 

 

您的帐号还没有激活，请激活后在右侧重新登录

(Your account has not been activated, please activate and then login on the right)

Press left button:

  

Wait for an activation email and click the link in the email to complete the registration.

Please not that you may be ask to confirm the account registration via SMS code.

Alternatively you can register with my invitation link:

http://yun.baidu.com/disk/beinvited?uk=3796365383

In that case you have the possibility to choose your user name.

The registration window in that case is slightly different:

 For registration enter user name (which can be used later for the login), enter the password in second and third fields (digits, small and capital letters, length from 6 to 14 characters), enter email (used for activation and login) in the forth field, and enter the captcha code in the fifth field, then press blue button. You will see the pop-up message, press left button in it:

您的帐号还没有激活，请激活后在右侧重新登录

(Your account has not been activated, please activate and then login on the right)

  

Wait for the activation email and click link in the email to complete the registration.

In the activation window click as shown below to skip login and SMS activation.

Login

Open Baidu Yun yun.baidu.com and log in with your registered details.

After login you will see something like that:

 Downloading Baidu Yun Guanjia installer

 Please note that there is no sense to use BaiduYunGuanjia application without registered account. Go to http://pan.baidu.com/download to download BaiduYunGuanjia application. 

 After you have downloaded the software, just installed it.

 

After installation start Baidu Yun Guanjia application and login into its interface with the same credentials (Probably you can enter username or email in the login field).

System tray icon of the Baidu Yun Guanjia application

Right-clicking on the icon opens a menu of such commands:

Saving to your network drive and downloading to your HDD using Baidu Yun application

If you click on the "Save to your network drive", left button (保存至网盘), (see 2nd picture from the top)  then the file will be saved to your own Baidu cloud and you can download it later even after the poster will delete it.

If you click on  the right button "Direct Download" (下载) then in the next pop-up window click on the left button ( 加速下载（推荐） ) "Accelerated Download" .  Baidu Yun application will start the download automatically. Using Baidu Yun is always faster than Normal download (普通下载) and it supports resumable downloads.

 

Example of downloading with the BaiduYunGuanjia application:

As a bonus you can download torrent  (using magnet links too) directly into the cloud:

III. Additional considerations

- To confirm an account via SMS during registration you can use any on-line SMS service (such as http://www.receive-sms-online.info/ ).

- BaiduYunGuanjia application creates a lot of active connections to and from your computer. Consider to shutdown BaiduYunGuanjia after finishing your downloads. As an alternative you can use BaiduYunGuanjia application in the virtual OS.

- After installation of BaiduYunGuanjia you may find in your browser the BaiduYunGuanjia application plugin (for Firefox:  [Tools] > Addons > Plugins). Set it to "Ask to activate" (The same applies to other plugins with potential vulnerabilities, such as Java and Flash).
