kDrive: create a drop box to request files from contacts
This guide explains how to create a drop box to invite contacts to send content (files or folders). The content uploaded by your contacts is thus directly filed in the right place in your kDrive.
Create a drop box
- Log in to your kDrive (https://kdrive.infomaniak.com/)
- Click New > Drop box
- Enter the name of the drop box and select its location* in your kDrive. The advanced options enable you to protect the folder with a password, add an expiry date and limit drop box storage space.
- Share the drop box link or click Send by email to share it with your contacts (read more)
You can also customize the look and feel.
* You can place your drop box in the Common documents folder, which makes it possible to create multiple accesses for adding and retrieving files. When you add a drop box to the Common documents folder, an interface will invite you to manage its access rights.
Disable or modify a drop box
- Log in to your kDrive (https://kdrive.infomaniak.com/)
- Right click the drop box concerned
- Click Manage the drop box or Disable the drop box
When a drop box is disabled, its share link is no longer valid and new files can no longer be sent. However, data that has already been shared is not deleted.
