Knowledge base

kDrive enables you to share files and folders with whoever you choose, even if the recipient does not have an Infomaniak account or does not use Infomaniak Drive.

kDrive enables you to share content in two ways:

1. Share a file/folder: ideal if the recipients need to be able to edit and work with your content.
2. Create a public share link: ideal if your recipients need to be able to display and/or download your content.

1. Sharing a file/folder

1. Log in to your Drive (https://drive.infomaniak.com/)
2. Right click the file/folder concerned
3. Click Share
4. Enter a Drive user or the email address of a contact
5. Define the rights for each person:
   • Can manage: the user can delete, comment, share, edit content and manage the user rights for the elements (available soon)
   • Can modify: the user can delete, comment, share and edit the content
   • Can consult: the user can only view, download and comment the content
6. Click Close.

2. Creating a public or protected share link

1. Log in to your Drive (https://drive.infomaniak.com/)
2. Right click the file/folder concerned
3. Click Share
4. Enable the share link (toggle the switch at the bottom of the window)
5. Copy and transfer the share link to your contacts
6. By clicking Share link settings, you can:
   • Set an expiry date for the link
   • Customize access rights (public, Drive users, with password)
   • Disable file download (read only)
   • Hide the names of users who use the link at the same time
   • Hide user comments

2.1 Creating a public editable share link (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

When you enable a share link for a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, it is possible to authorize its online publication. Anyone with access to this share link will then be able to immediately modify the file without needing an Infomaniak account.
