This guide explains how to import external data (files, folders, etc.) into your kDrive using the WebDAV protocol.

Preamble

Importing external data via WebDAV

Example: copy data from an external kDrive to the Organization

To import a kDrive that would be outside the Organization in which your destination kDrive is located, you need to enter the following information at point 9 above (your credentials will be used exclusively to import your data; they will be immediately deleted at the end of the process):

• Username: email address to log in to the Infomaniak user account
• Password: application password in case of double authentication activated or the one from your Infomaniak user account if you have not activated 2FA
• Entry point: direct access to kDrive (refer to this other guide regarding the kDrive ID for the login URL)
  • It is possible to choose a subfolder as the source folder, by combining the kDrive ID and the desired folder by entering for example https://IDkDrive.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com/My/Subfolder or https://IDkDrive.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com/MykDrive/My/Subfolder
