This guide explains how to automatically transfer photos from your mobile device (iOS) to kDrive Infomaniak.

Introduction

• Once this feature is enabled, the photos from your mobile device will be saved in a folder of your choice on kDrive.
• Foreground mode: synchronization works optimally when the kDrive app is active and in the foreground!
• Limited background mode: background synchronization is subject to the following constraints:
  • After leaving the application, kDrive continues to run for about 30 seconds to complete ongoing uploads.
  • The application may be reactivated automatically by iOS every 15 minutes or so, for sessions of a maximum of 30 seconds.
  • At night, if your device is charging, not in use, and connected to the Internet, the application may benefit from several hours to perform background uploads.
