Install kDrive on Linux
This guide details the installation of the desktop app kDrive Infomaniak on a computer with a Linux operating system. It will then allow you to synchronize your files with kDrive.
Prerequisites
- Download the desktop app kDrive for Linux (file type .AppImage)
- Fuse2 (required to run an appimage*)
- D-Bus
- Gnome-keyring or kwallet(usually already present on your machine except with certain lightweight distributions)
Installation of kDrive on Linux
For this:
- Place the file in a folder named, for example, "Applications".
- Right-click on the file and select Permissions.
- Check the box "Allow executing file as program".
- Optional for Ubuntu: add the file to "Startup Application Preferences" so that kDrive runs on startup.
On this OS, some features of kDrive are not available, such as the Lite Sync option or the right-click context menu.
* Since version 23.04 (and later) of Ubuntu, nothing will happen after double-clicking the AppImage file. Indeed, the latest versions of Ubuntu use a version of FUSE that is "too" recent (the "Filesystem in User Space" interface on which AppImages rely to function) for which AppImages are not designed. AppImages need FUSE v2 to function: sudo apt install libfuse2
