Infomaniak takes pride in securing data through a comprehensive and diversified approach to security. For whistleblowers, the company has implemented an internal system for reporting irregularities securely and anonymously, without fear of reprisals. This protection mechanism is known and accessible to all employees, thus reinforcing transparency and accountability within the organization.
Processing times
Infomaniak demonstrates its commitment with concrete and effective measures to protect those who report anomalies. The company commits to processing each report submitted via its abuse form within defined deadlines to ensure optimal responsiveness and maintain user trust.
To ensure effective and transparent processing, Infomaniak has established a structured process with precise deadlines:
- It commits to acknowledging receipt of all reports within 24 hours of their submission, thus allowing reporters to confirm that their request has been received by the competent technical teams.
- In a second step, the company conducts a preliminary assessment within 5 business days to determine the admissibility of the report and identify the resources necessary for its processing. This phase allows for the classification of the priority level and the referral of the file to the appropriate specialized teams.
- When an investigation is necessary, Infomaniak conducts an in-depth analysis within a maximum of 30 business days, depending on the nature and complexity of the reported case. This period allows the security teams to carry out the required technical checks, collect the necessary evidence, and assess the potential impact of the reported situation.
- Finally, the company commits to completing the analysis and implementing the appropriate corrective actions within 60 business days when technically possible.
This final step includes the implementation of preventive measures, the communication of results to the parties concerned, and the follow-up of the recommendations issued to prevent the recurrence of identified problems.
Infomaniak also commits to keeping complainants informed of the follow-up to a complaint, provided that the complainant has filled out the form indicating a contact email address.

This guide explains how to modify product access rights for a user in your Organization on the Manager Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Since you opened your account with Infomaniak, you are part of at least one Organization.
- If you were alone and it was not an invitation, an Organization was created in your name and you automatically become the legal responsible.
- Otherwise, you belong to the Organization that invited you (to join its kSuite, to manage a product, etc.).
- It is possible to modify a user's role within your Organization.
- You can then define whether a user…
- … is part of your Organization and should become:
- Legal representative
- Administrator
- Collaborator (this part is detailed below…)
- … is external to your Organization (limited rights):
- External users are not included in the sharing of calendars and address books with the entire Organization.
- … is part of your Organization and should become:
Who can access what…
Prerequisites
- To be Administrator or Legal Representative within the Organization.
- Have added a user as a collaborator.
The guide below allows you to manage product access for collaborators and external users. Indeed, a legal representative or an Administrator already has access to all existing products within the Organization and visible on the Infomaniak Manager.
To modify a user's product access in the Organization:
- Click here to access user management on the Manager Infomaniak (need help?).
- Click on the action menu ⋮ located to the right of the user in question.
- Click on Edit product access:
- Expand the tabs/accordions by product if necessary.
- Click on the product category to which you want to grant access.
- Select the necessary product(s).
- If you have selected multiple products, decide whether a future additional product should automatically be visible to the user (and with what type of permissions).
- Click the Save button:
- Start again at step 5 if you need to grant access to multiple products. You can also grant full access with maximum permissions in 1 click:
Service usage / Service management
Note, on your product table, it is important to distinguish between product access (such as kDrive within the kSuite) and product management access:It is possible to allow a user to use kDrive (they will be able to create a PDF, for example) without granting them kDrive service management rights (they will not be able to change the offer, invite a new user, cancel, etc.).
Technical rights / Statistical rights
With certain services like kDrive, it is possible to grant a collaborator TECHNICAL and/or STATISTICAL rights (adds access to the dashboard, share links, storage statistics, active users, connected devices, activity on the kDrive):
Other services like domain names do not have a STATISTICS section:
Some specific services like the billetterie allow you to grant even more detailed rights:
Easier access: Work Teams
To facilitate the addition of access rights to a product within your Organization, there are Work Teams. These allow you to create groups linked to Infomaniak products with the desired rights, very practical for giving a new collaborator in your Organization access to the products they will need in their daily activity.

This guide for the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail) or the mobile app Infomaniak Mail (application for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet) explains how to activate encryption for emails sent from Infomaniak Web and mobile services.
Preamble
- When encryption is activated, emails and attachments are encrypted as soon as they are received on Infomaniak servers, via the public keys of senders and recipients.
- Each email address generates a key at its first use, stored securely in Infomaniak data centers.
- The keys are based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and use the OpenPGP standard.
- They are themselves encrypted in AES-256-GCM with automatic decryption via Infomaniak authentication.
- In search results, only the subject of encrypted messages will be visible, while their content will remain secure during storage.

If you have many (10+) email addresses to create, follow this procedure for bulk creation.
Access the Infomaniak Mail Service and create the email addresses:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click the blue button Create an email address in the top right corner.
- Enter the address (what comes before the at sign @) for example contact or michelle.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Select I will consult the email address alone.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Enter a password.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Click the blue Finish button.

b. Import the mail content from Google to Infomaniak
If you have many (10+) email addresses to import, follow this procedure for bulk import.
Access the Infomaniak Mail Service and import your emails:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click on the chevron in the right part of the blue Create an email address button.
- Click on Import emails (direct link).
- Click on Import my emails into a single email address.
- Enter the existing email address at Google.
- Enter the password for this email address.
- Click on Advanced settings.
- Enter
imap.gmail.com
in IMAP Server Address (or trymail.gmail.com
in case of error). - Enter
993
in IMAP Port. - Enable SSL and disable TLS.
- Click on the blue button Validate and continue.
- Enter the email address (which was recreated at Infomaniak at point a.10 above).

Labels and storage space
The storage space displayed at Infomaniak may not match that indicated in Gmail, notably due to the different management of labels/tags.
Indeed, these, present in Gmail, will be converted into folders on the Infomaniak servers (same principle as when using an email client/software IMAP like Thunderbird):
As a result, an email tagged in multiple Gmail folders can be counted multiple times during migration, which explains why an account showing, for example, 6 GB in Gmail can take up 18 GB once transferred to Infomaniak servers.
Adjust the application settings
As soon as you have ensured that the domain name associated with your email works with Infomaniak, adjust the settings of the email software/clients you use so that they connect correctly to the Infomaniak servers: follow the configuration assistant.

And on macOS?
There is an alternative for Outlook / Exchange on macOS, via the python script ews-caldav-sync:
- Unlike an ICS file import provided by Outlook Web, which only includes the last few weeks of events, the script will import all calendar events, including event series, but not tasks.
- Synchronization via this script is one-way, from Microsoft Exchange to the CalDAV server. It is recommended to run it at regular intervals.
⚠️ All the services offered by Infomaniak are compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (notably IMAP/SMTP for email, WebDAV for sharing, S3/Swift for storage, etc.). Therefore, if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.

Preamble
- Refer to this other guide for an example of using kSync: synchronize an Infomaniak calendar with a Google agenda.
Configure kSync
Prerequisites
- Download the mobile app Infomaniak kSync (app for Android smartphone or tablet) here:
- The kSync app is also available on F-droid.
- Install kSync.
Next:
- Open kSync from your Android device, a step-by-step assistant will help you configure the app according to your needs.
- Decide whether you want to synchronize tasks.
- Allow kSync to access the required items.
- Allow the app to run in the background for better synchronization (uses more battery).
Once the app is open and pre-configured:
- Press the button to open the window to log in to your Infomaniak user account:
- Enter your login information for the user account that contains your Infomaniak agenda(s) to synchronize with your Android device.
- Under the Address Books CARDDAV tab, choose the address book(s) that should appear on your device.
- Under the Agendas CALDAV tab, choose the calendar(s) that should appear on your device.
- Start the synchronization with the button located at the bottom right.
Synchronization settings
After pressing the account to synchronize, click on the Settings icon at the top right of the interface to adjust some important settings:
- Synchronization interval: you have the option to modify the frequency of synchronizations (15, 30, 60 minutes, etc.) for each type of information (address books, calendars, tasks).
- Synchronization only via WiFi (and if so, with which networks...).
- Limit of display of past events.
- Color display.
- Display of contact groups.
kSync general settings
Press the back arrow at the top left of the screen to return to the home page.
Press the three-line horizontal menu button ☰ then Settings.
Synchronization operation
Once the kSync application is configured, the selected items are automatically synchronized with the Contacts and Calendar applications, installed by default on an Android device.
These applications will allow you to display or hide the address books currently synchronized with Infomaniak:
Synchronization is bidirectional by default, which means that without any particular setting on your part (read below) the modifications made on your phone in this or these new address books and calendars will be reflected in your Infomaniak interface (Calendar and Contacts) and vice versa. Add a contact in the address book currently synchronized with Infomaniak, same for an event on the calendar::
Once added on one side or the other, the information is synchronized at the scheduled interval:
Do not allow modification on the device
It is possible to force read-only via kSync which means that the items are synchronized but cannot be modified by the device.
To do this, on the settings page of the Infomaniak account that interests you, in the Address Books CARDDAV or Calendars CALDAV tab, press the action menu ⋮ to the right of the line of your synchronized items. Check the box "Force read-only":

This guide explains how to import a calendar / agenda on the Web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
Preamble
- Refer to this other guide if you only want to display a read-only Infomaniak calendar on Google Calendar (Web & mobile app).
- Refer to this other guide to edit the events of the calendar on both sides but only on the mobile version of the Google Calendar app.
Import a calendar via a URL
It is possible to display in Calendar an existing calendar managed externally. It will be automatically updated every hour via the URL you specify.
Note that this is not a calendar synchronization but a read-only, one-way operation.
To do this:
- Click here to access the Web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
- Click on in the left sidebar menu.
- Click on "From a URL":
- Paste the URL of the calendar to import and check I want to subscribe to this agenda:
- If necessary, choose the Organization in which the calendar will be imported.
- Click on Import the calendar.
You can also go directly through one of the Organizations you are part of:
- Click here to access the Web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of the organization in the displayed table.
- Click on "From a URL":
Link a Google calendar by its “secret” URL
The “secret” URL of a Google agenda, which you can paste in step 3 above, is found in the Google calendar settings:
- Click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of the relevant Google calendar.
- Click on Settings and sharing:
- Scroll down the page to obtain the secret iCal URL and click on the icons to view the URL and/or copy it:
- Paste the URL according to the procedure in step 3 of the previous chapter above.
Note that this is not a calendar synchronization but a read-only, one-way operation.
The calendar will be visible and will regularly display any updates made, but it will not be possible to edit it directly from the Infomaniak interface; this is a "one-way synchronization" with Google.

This guide explains how to switch from one Organization to another from your Infomaniak Manager or how to remove yourself from an Organization to which you belong.
Preamble
- Since you opened your account with Infomaniak, you are part of at least one Organization.
- If you were alone and it was not an invitation, an Organization was created in your name and you automatically become the legal manager.
- Otherwise, you belong to the Organization that invited you (to join its kSuite, to manage a product, etc.).
- Only an owner/legal manager can make changes.
- It is quite possible to access several Organizations from the same login credentials, and to switch quickly from one to the other.
- You can also switch between your Organizations on ksuite.infomaniak.com; if you own my kSuite, it will always be offered first.
Display another Organization
To switch to one of the other Organizations to which you belong:
- Click here to access the management of your products (Infomaniak Manager).
- Click on the chevron at the top left of the Manager interface.
- Click on the Organization to which you want to access.
- The change of Organization is immediate, you are automatically switched:
Manage Organizations / Leave an Organization
To view all the Organizations to which you belong (because you created them with your user account or because you were invited to them) and possibly remove your membership (if you are not the last user or the only legal manager):
- Click here (or on the badge with your initials / avatar at the top right of the Infomaniak Manager) to "Manage my account":
- Click on Organizations in the left sidebar.
- Click on the icon located to the right of the Organization's name to leave it:
A user can leave any Organization on their own as long as…
- ... this user does not belong to the Organization's kSuite
- ... this user's login address is not in an Organization Mail Service
- ... this user is not the last owner of the Organization

By pressing the keyboard key that usually allows you to copy files from your computer (the ALT
key in principle) while dragging them from one location to another, you can "copy" contacts instead of moving them.

This guide details what can be searched for on the Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service mail.infomaniak.com) or other kSuite services. To search on kDrive, refer to this other guide.
Search for an email
You can perform a global search (among all the directories of the Web app Mail Infomaniak) either in the body of the message, or in its subject, or among its senders/recipients, large attachments, etc. If you want to find a message in a specific directory, select it first.
Advanced search is accessible from the dropdown arrow to the right of the search field at the top of your Mail:
To search for the trace of an email or know its activity, you can also search in the logs of an email address.
Email search with a mail software/client
To find out how your specific email application performs searches, consult its documentation. For example, desktop apps (desktop applications) Thunderbird and Outlook can synchronize messages locally and perform local searches, while other applications may prefer to search on the IMAP server. In this case, the email client sends a search command to the server, which then searches all messages stored on the server and returns the results to the email client.
Search for a contact
You can search for an address book, a group, or a person among your contacts using the search field at the top of your Infomaniak address book:
Search for an event
You can search for calendars, events, rooms, including among their descriptions and the people associated with them:
This guide explains how to set up the synchronization of calendars/agendas and contacts Infomaniak with the desktop app Mozilla Thunderbird (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux).
⚠️ All the services offered by Infomaniak are compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (notably IMAP/SMTP for email, WebDAV for sharing, S3/Swift for storage, etc.). Therefore, if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.
