Edit an Office file type on kDrive
This guide explains how to create, save, and edit an Office file (text, spreadsheet, presentation...) on the Web app kDrive (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive) and on the mobile app kDrive (application for iOS / Android smartphone or tablet).
Note to LibreOffice file users: to avoid display or formatting bugs on kDrive, always convert your LibreOffice files (ODF: .ods, .odt, .odp) to their Microsoft Office XML equivalents (.xlsx, .docx, .pptx) before online editing.
Use the native editor
kDrive natively integrates the Docs, Grids and Points applications which allow you to create, modify and collaborate online on documents of type Word .docx, Excel .xlsx and PowerPoint .ppsx. You will thus be able to work with:
- text document
- spreadsheet (worksheet)
- presentation
- notebook
- document draw.io for diagrams, schematics and wireframes
A feature allows you to add a bookmark (shortcut to a favorite passage in your document or the equivalent of a web page anchor) that you can easily share with your contacts. You will also be able to easily notify a user of your Organization directly on the document.
Refer to the guide on this subject.
Use Microsoft Office Online
