Syncing Synology with kDrive
This guide provides instructions for synchronizing kDrive with a Synology NAS (or vice versa) via the WebDAV protocol found in the Cloud Sync application.
Prerequisites
- Having a NAS accessible from the Internet (Synology Infomaniak for example)
- Having a paid kDrive subscription
- Knowing your kDrive identifier (IDkDrive):
- Log in to your kDrive (https://kdrive.infomaniak.com/)
- The address displayed at the top in your browser contains a number: kdrive.infomaniak.com/app/drive/123456/
- This number (in the example 123456) is your kDrive identifier (IDkDrive)
- Therefore, you will need to write https://IDkDrive.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com whenever necessary (
https://123456.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com
for example as the WebDAV address)
Synchronize kDrive and Synology via Cloud Sync
For this:
- Log in to the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM)
- If necessary, download and install the Cloud Sync app from the Package Center
- Open Cloud Sync
- Click on the + in the bottom left to add a Cloud
- Choose WebDAV at the bottom of the list of available Clouds
- For the account settings, use the following information:
- Server address: https://IDkDrive.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com (read the prerequisites above)
- Username: your Infomaniak account username
- Password: your Infomaniak account password or an application password (in case of 2FA)
- Choose the local folder, destination folder, and desired synchronization type
- Bidirectional: changes made will be reflected in both directions
- Download only remote changes: ideal for backing up a kDrive on your NAS
- Download only local changes: ideal for backing up data from your NAS to a kDrive
