Connect to kDrive via WebDAV

This guide provides instructions for connecting to kDrive using the WebDAV connection protocol.

Preamble

• Connecting via WebDAV allows you to…
  • … to use your preferred WebDAV application instead of the official kDrive application (only solution if the latter is unavailable on your OS, for example macOS 10.14.6)
  • … to use kDrive as a synchronization base for a tool that would allow this via WebDAV (e.g., Joplin).
  • … to access kDrive from your operating system's file manager.

Get the identifier (kDrive ID)

To find out your kDrive ID:

1. Click here to access the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
2. The kDrive file structure appears in the left sidebar.
3. The URL https://kdrive.infomaniak.com/app/drive/123456 displayed at the top of your browser contains a number:
   

This number (in the example 123456) is your kDrive identifier (IDkDrive).

You will therefore need to write https://IDkDrive‍.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com whenever necessary (https://123456.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com for example as a WebDAV address).
