This guide explains how to download and use the mobile app Infomaniak kSync for Android devices (Samsung, Huawei, Google Pixel, etc.) that allows you to synchronize calendars & contacts between Android devices (with data stored at Infomaniak).

Preamble

• Once the kSync application is configured, the selected items are automatically synchronized with the Contacts and Calendar apps, which are installed by default on an Android device.
• Ability to display or hide your different Infomaniak address books and calendars directly in these apps.
• Any modification (addition, editing, deletion) made on the phone is reflected on the Infomaniak interface, and vice versa.
• Data updates occur continuously according to the configured synchronization interval.
