This guide explains how to quickly share content from the Infomaniak kDrive web app via email (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).

Share via email from kDrive

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

1. Click here to access the kDrive web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).

• If you authorize document modification from kDrive, the user will be able to collaborate (with or without prior registration), meaning they can edit in their browser and then save the document you shared:
