Connect to kDrive via WebDAV
This guide provides instructions for connecting to kDrive via WebDAV if, for example, you want to:
- use the WebDAV application of your choice instead of the official kDrive application
- use kDrive as a sync base for a tool that allows this via WebDAV (such as Joplin)
- access kDrive from your operating system's file manager
This access option is only available for paid versions of kDrive.
Get the identifier (kDrive ID)
To find out your kDrive identifier (kDrive ID):
- Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge
- Click on the icon in the top right corner of the interface (or navigate using the left sidebar menu, for example)
- Choose kDrive (under the Collaborative Tools universe)
- Click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
- The kDrive tree structure is displayed in the left sidebar menu
- The URL displayed at the top of your browser contains a number: kdrive.infomaniak.com/app/drive/123456
This number (in the example 123456) is your kDrive identifier (kDrive ID).
Therefore, you will need to write https://kDrive ID.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com whenever necessary (https://123456.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com
for example as WebDAV address)
