Manage kDrive storage (my kSuite)
This guide explains how to control the storage space used on your free cloud offer and how to free up space.
Introduction
- The free cloud offer includes a maximum storage of 15 GB.
Check the free storage space
To access your current my kSuite offer and check the storage space used:
- Click here to access the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
- The used storage space is displayed at the bottom of the left sidebar.
- Click on the chevron to expand the kDrive Management section in the left sidebar.
- Click on Storage space in the left sidebar for a more detailed overview:
Free up storage space
To free up space on your free kDrive, simply deleting large files (videos, etc.) is not enough, as files still take up space once they are in the trash bin.
Empty the kDrive trash bin
You need to manually empty the trash to permanently delete the files it contains:
- Click here to access the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the trash can in the left sidebar.
- Click on the Empty Trash button to delete all files from the trash…
- … or select files one by one then click on the trash can icon above the table:
Note also: as soon as a modification is made to one of your files, kDrive saves up to 30 versions for 30 days. This allows you to navigate between several versions of a file and to be able to restore an old version if needed.
It is possible to delete all versions of the document by clicking the Delete all versions button or to delete versions one by one by clicking the ⋮ icon and then clicking Delete, but this does not particularly free up space as this versioning is not counted in your kDrive storage space.
