This guide explains how to quickly share by email content present on the online version of kDrive, accessible via web browser.

Share by email from kDrive

You can send an email with a file (or rather a link to a file, as the email will not contain an attachment) from your kDrive:

1. Click here to access the kDrive web app (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
2. Right-click on the file/folder in question or click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of the item in question.
3. From the dropdown menu that appears, choose to share the item by email:
   
4. Choose which address (from those currently linked to your web app Mail) to send the file from.
5. Click on Continue:
   
6. The web app Mail opens in the browser and the body of the message automatically contains the links to the shared content…
   1. By selecting the file directly from Mail, the principle is the same except that you will have an additional possibility, that of sending the file itself (the file will be sent in the state in which it is at the moment you select it - there is no longer any notion of collaboration / sharing as is the case if you share a link to the file on the kDrive):

• If you allow the modification of the document from kDrive, the user will be able to collaborate (with or without prior registration) that is to say modify in their browser and then save the document you have shared:
