This guide details the specificities of our kSuite offer, particularly in terms of the domain name that must be associated with it.
Domain name existing elsewhere
If the domain name you want to use to create your kSuite belongs to you but is with another provider, it will be essential to transfer it to Infomaniak beforehand by following this guide (click here) .
Domain name linked to a Mail Service
Don't worry, you can transform your existing products into kSuite.
DNS zone not managed by Infomaniak
If the domain name you wish to use to create your kSuite belongs to you at Infomaniak but its zone is not managed by Infomaniak (DNS or type A, MX records, etc. different from those recommended by Infomaniak) it will be essential to point it to our name servers beforehand by following this guide (click here) .
Changing the domain name associated with kSuite
Once the kSuite is functional with a domain name, it is impossible to change it.
This guide details the kSuite offering provided by Infomaniak.
kSuite simplifies user management in the enterprise and consolidates your products into a single billing with a unique due date. It also includes advanced user management for all the applications you need for online collaboration.
You choose the domain name, and kSuite is then established according to your needs in terms of the number of users and storage space.
Communicate and Plan
- Mail Service
- kMeet
- kChat
- Calendar
- Contact
- Newsletter
Collaborate and Share
- kDrive, with docs, grids, and points (even if you already have a kDrive)
- Swisstransfer
- kPaste
Management
- Manager interface with Custom Brand included or optional depending on the offer
This guide is about kSuite and the management of users and their different types of access.
kSuite Users
There are 3 kSuite offers, each including 1 initial user offered during subscription:
- Standard offer comes with 1 free user for life and additional paid users with reduced management; storage space (excluding email volume, which is unlimited) is 15 GB per user
- Pro offer comes with 1 paid user with 3 TB of storage (3000 GB; excluding email volume, which is unlimited) per user
- Enterprise offer comes with 1 paid user with 6 TB of storage (6000 GB; excluding email volume, which is unlimited) per user
Included Email Addresses
Each user is entitled to their email address on the domain name around which your kSuite is centered, with no limit on email storage volume. The email address quota depends on the offer and the number of users:
- Standard: 1 user = 2 email addresses (2 = 4, and so on)
- Pro: 1 user = 5 email addresses (2 = 10, and so on)
- Enterprise: 1 user = 10 email addresses (2 = 20, and so on)
You can assign a kSuite email address to a user who is not part of kSuite.
To get more email addresses, you need to change your offer to increase the number of users. For example:
If you order a kSuite Pro with 5 users, you will have a quota of 5x5=25 email addresses in total in your kSuite, which you can use (for any purpose - creating an email address within the kSuite Mail Service is the same as for a Mail Service outside of kSuite).
Adding a User to kSuite
The quota of users that can be added to kSuite must be sufficient; adjust the kSuite offer if necessary.
To access kSuite management:
- Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) using a web browser like Brave or Firefox
- Click on the icon in the top right corner of the interface (or navigate using the left side menu, for example)
- Select kSuite (under the Collaborative Tools section)
- Click on the action menu â‹® in the Users section
- Click on Add a User
Two possibilities are offered:
a. Add a user who has no connection with the organization where kSuite is located
b. Add a user who is already part of the organization where kSuite is located
In both cases, follow the wizard while carefully reading the instructions.
It is not possible to add a user so that they have access only to kDrive or only to kChat separately. In this case, you should use sharing functions to allow third parties to temporarily join kDrive.
This guide (click here) explains how to add an external user to the organization so that they can use kChat and kDrive without direct visibility of the products on the Manager.
This guide details how the storage of data from your various kSuite products works.
kSuite Storage Space
The space used for data storage is common to the different users of your kSuite and common to some of the products that make up your kSuite (kDrive and kChat for example).
The total amount of storage space depends on your subscription and the number of users you choose. It corresponds to the maximum amount of storage space that can be used by all your users. There is no quota per user.
Increase or decrease your kSuite storage space
Need more space to store your kSuite data? Change the plan and add users or upgrade to a higher plan with more users. The more available users included in your plan, the more storage space you will need.
You can also recover storage space by permanently deleting kDrive or kChat files. Data from the Mail Service is not counted in kSuite storage.
It is not possible to reduce the storage space or to go below a certain number of kSuite users depending on the storage available and already used.
The kSuite offer does not include a Web hosting service offered by Infomaniak.
Of course, it is possible to subscribe to a Infomaniak Web Hosting from the same user account and/or the same organization and build your website with the tool of your choice such as WordPress or Site Creator.
This guide introduces you to the benefits of kSuite, the suite of productivity and online collaboration tools developed in Switzerland by Infomaniak. The question of choosing kDrive and/or Mail separately instead of kSuite can indeed arise.
Why Adopt or Migrate to kSuite?
kSuite is more cost-effective, simplifies user management in businesses, and consolidates all your products into a single billing with a unified due date. The offer is recommended as soon as you own or want a domain name.
It also integrates advanced and unified user and team management, as well as kChat, which cannot currently be ordered separately.
Here are some other points:
- Single invoice
- Dynamic address book for organization
- More significant disk storage (per user)
- Custom Brand offered with kSuite Enterprise
In summary, choosing this collection of web tools rather than individual applications has advantages in terms of integration, simplified management, real-time collaboration, multi-platform accessibility, and flexibility. These benefits can enhance your efficiency, productivity, and overall user experience.
