  • my kSuite = 1

  • kDrive Team = 1000
  • kDrive Pro = 1000
• File size limits are those of kDrive.
• You can customize the appearance of the drop boxes.

Create a drop box

To access kDrive and create a drop box:

1. Click here to access the Infomaniak kDrive web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).
2. Navigate through the kDrive tree, which is displayed in the left-hand menu, and go to the folder that will store the data collected in the drop box:
   1. Stay in the personal folder (My folder) if the data is private and specific to your user.
   2. Go to the shared folder (Organization folders) if you want other users of your kDrive to be able to directly view the data from the drop box.
3. Click the blue New button when you are in the directory of your choice (the one that will store the data collected using the drop box).
4. Click on Drop Box:
   
5. Enter the name of the drop box.
6. The full path (within your kDrive) to the location of this upload folder is provided for your information.
7. Click on the Create button:
   
8. Share the link to the upload folder or click on Send by email to share it with your contacts.
9. Advanced options allow you toreceive a notification by email when a file is uploaded, protect the folder with a password, add an expiration date, and limit the storage space of the upload box.
10. Depending on your kDrive plan and your choice in step 2 above, you can decide whether, despite the files being located in Organization Folders (a shared folder), you want to restrict access to your user only:
