Connect to kDrive via WebDAV (get the kDrive ID)
This guide provides instructions for connecting to kDrive using the WebDAV connection protocol.
β Available with:
kDrive Solo/Team/Pro | kSuite Business/Enterprise |
Preamble
- Connecting via WebDAV allows for:
- Using the WebDAV application of your choice instead of the official kDrive application (only solution if this one is unavailable on your OS, for example macOS 10.14.6),
- Using kDrive as a synchronization base for a tool that would allow this via WebDAV (Joplin for example),
- Accessing kDrive from your operating system's file manager.
Obtaining the identifier (kDrive ID)
To find out your kDriveID, kDrive client ID:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak kDrive Web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).
- The kDrive directory structure is displayed in the left sidebar menu.
- The URL
https://ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive/app/drive/123456/
displayed at the top of your browser contains a number: - In some cases, especially when the Organization ID is mentioned in the URL, there may be several series of numbers, but the principle remains the same, you need to take the number displayed after the term β
/drive/
β:
This number (in the example 123456
) is your kDrive identifier (IDkDrive).
You will therefore need to write https://IDkDriveβ.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com every time it is necessary (https://123456.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com
for example as a WebDAV address).

https://XXXXXX.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com/Common documents/folder-name

" with the exact name of the target folder to establish a direct and secure connection via WebDAV.
