Preamble
- Refer to this other guide if you only want to display an Infomaniak calendar as read-only on Google Agenda (web & mobile app).
- The reverse is also possible if you only want to display a Google calendar as read-only on the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com).
- The procedure below allows you to edit the calendar events on both sides but only on the mobile version of the Google Agenda app.
⚠️ 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.

- Log in to your Infomaniak user account:
- Activate the calendar to synchronize from the CALDAV tab:
At this stage, it is the native application of your Android device (Samsung Calendar for example on Samsung-branded devices) that will be synchronized and display the events of your Infomaniak calendar (sometimes you need to activate the account on the application in question):
An event added and/or modified on either interface will be automatically synchronized everywhere:

This guide explains how to use the appointment scheduling assistant on a calendar / agenda of the Web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com for managing your events and appointments) and thus schedule a meeting between several users.
Preamble
- To easily create and set up a new event, refer to this other guide.
Create a new shared event
To start the scheduling assistant:
- Click here to access the Web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com).
- Click on the chevron to the right of the new event creation button.
- Click on Scheduling Assistant:
The assistant appears on the right side of the screen while the left side allows you to choose the day of the event.
The principle is to find the best time to schedule a meeting between several users of the Organization.
For this, each person's availability (based on their schedule and the parameters set in the calendar preferences) is displayed in columns:
- When you create a new event for a team of users:
- The meeting title is automatically generated but it can be modified.
- The duration of the event (and its placement within the day) can be modified, including on the left side with the mouse cursor.
- A room is automatically selected but it can be changed.
- Participants can be added up to a maximum of 25:
This guide explains how to broadcast an online meeting kMeet in a separate stream accessible via a unique URL thanks to Streaming Vidéo Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Broadcasting a conference-type meeting in a Video Streaming stream rather than within the kMeet application offers several advantages:
- Large-scale public broadcasting without having to restrict access to an audience limited to invited persons.
- Attract a wider audience, such as conferences, webinars or live events where hundreds or thousands of spectators can follow the event without joining a private call.
- Allows to reach an unlimited number of spectators.
- No need to manage access for each participant, the stream is simply viewable via a link.
- A simple web browser is sufficient to access the streaming stream.
- Passive access: spectators are not forced to actively participate or interact; they can simply watch the event without registering or logging in, which is better suited for large events.
- No vocal interruptions or disruptions related to microphone management; this allows for a more fluid stream focused on the speaker.
- Higher broadcast resolution when kMeet can be limited by bandwidth constraints and lower video quality to avoid network overload.
Create the Streaming Video share link
Prerequisites
- Streaming a kMeet video stream within a Streaming Video stream is only possible with the kSuite Pro or Enterprise offer.
- You must be a moderator of kMeet to create a live broadcast link, but it is not necessary to have an Infomaniak Streaming Vidéo offer.
Next:
- Start kMeet via kmeet.infomaniak.com or from one of the applications for computers or mobile devices.
- Once in the meeting, click on the action menu ○○○ in the kMeet toolbar.
- Choose to Start live streaming:
- Click the button to Start:
- Wait for the video stream to be created:
- In the same place, once the stream link is displayed, click on the icon on the right to copy the URL corresponding to the live stream; paste the URL into a message for the participants or anyone who needs to watch the live broadcast.
- An icon displayed on kMeet along with an audible signal indicates the start of the broadcast via Streaming Vidéo:
The stream is broadcast continuously for a maximum of 24 hours and will no longer be accessible as soon as the kMeet meeting is stopped.
This guide allows you to quickly discover the essential features of Euria, the artificial intelligence at your disposal within kSuite, mainly on the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com) to get started.
COMPATIBILITY my kSuite ✗ | my kSuite+ ✗ ✔= Compatible offer | ✗= Not available |
Preamble
- Your data is never used to train the AI (queries addressed to Euria are never stored) and the information specific to your files is strictly compartmentalized and highly secure.
- Euria is exclusively hosted in Switzerland, in the sovereign Infomaniak cloud.
Using AI for your files on kDrive
Prerequisites
- Be Administrator or Legal Representative within the Organization that manages the kDrive.
- To activate Euria for all users of your relevant kDrive, follow the assistant that opens when you log in to kDrive.
- You can also activate (or deactivate) Euria by going to the unified settings:
- It is then necessary to accept (or revoke) the content search features on documents:
To access Euria on kDrive:
- Click here to access the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
- Open a PDF document (Euria is also available with other text/code file types:
.md
,.txt
,.json
,.php
, etc.) or right-click on the file in question: - Euria will open in a right-side panel; if you close it, Euria remains accessible via the round icon located at the top right:
How can Euria help?
Euria helps you to effectively leverage the document you have opened (and only that one); it can notably:
- answer your questions about its content (details, statistics, changes)
- summarize the key points (even simplify them, and even more so if you specify “for a 10-year-old child”…)
- translate it
- provide metadata (size, creation or modification date)
- explain the terms or acronyms that appear in it
For example, if the document is a long annual company report, you can ask for the current size of the Development department, which projects are top priority, or the last modification date of the document…
Create an event for your calendar
With a document mentioning an appointment (medical for example), you can ask Euria to create a piece of code that, once copied and pasted into an appropriate file, will allow you to add an event to your calendar. Example formulation: “Create an event in ics format using the details of this appointment”.
Euria can also extract events from a more complex document:
Euria will explain what it has done (a VCALENDAR code) and what you will need to do (create a new file with the .ics extension containing the code it has generated, and open it on your computer to import it into your usual calendar app or import it into your kSuite calendar):
Create a family tree of characters
With a book stored on your kDrive, you can ask Euria to create a precise and complete genealogical tree to show the links between all the characters. You will thus obtain a list of first and last names with their relationships.
But you can take the experience further by then asking for a “Mermaid” diagram based on this list. You will just need to copy and paste the code provided by Euria into a tool like mermaid.live:
Analyze a survey, write a blog article
Based on a survey or report document, you can ask **Euria** to write a new article in the tone you want and addressed to the desired target. Example: “Based on all this, write a blog post with a catchy title and a text of max 400 words, for a target audience of women aged 30 to 40”.
You can also ask it to identify “what are the biases in this survey” or "which elements would deserve to be deepened or verified". Euria can thus help you adopt a critical stance towards a survey or report, by pointing out potential gaps, exaggerations or biases.
It can also rephrase the conclusions of the survey for different audiences (professionals, teenagers, curious readers…), suggest alternative angles for a derivative article, or generate titles, introductions, or summaries according to the desired level of complexity.
The goal is to extract the maximum editorial value from a single source content, by diversifying the formats, tones, and perspectives.

This guide explains how to have multiple domain names linked to an existing kSuite, by adding additional domain names to it.
Prerequisites
- Own the new domain name (if necessary it will need to be created beforehand).
- Familiarize yourself with the instructions in this other guide by applying the instructions corresponding to your situation (this is so that the domain name works when it is attached to your kSuite).
Add a domain to kSuite
Once the new domain name is ready to be used alongside the old one, you need to add it to kSuite:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click on the Settings icon at the top right.
- Click on kSuite in the left sidebar.
- Click on Domains:
- Click the blue button Add a domain alias:
- Click the blue button Add a linked domain:
You can also consider a reversal of the additional domain linked to kSuite, with its main domain, in order to change the domain name of your kSuite.
This guide explains how to invite an external user to your Organization on kChat who will be counted as a kSuite user.
Preliminary
- Refer to this other guide to grant access to one or more kChat channels to an external user who can thus interact with your team without being counted as a kSuite user and without having any special rights in the Organization (of which they will not be a part).
- You can also invite a work team in full from kChat.
- Refer to this other guide if you wish to manage the channels to which new members will automatically belong.
Invite to use kSuite
Prerequisites
- Be an administrator of the Organization where kSuite is located with full rights granted for kChat.
Once invited, the user will be able to confirm their membership and access kChat with the limited permissions that you will have granted them:
- Click here to access the management of kChat on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click on Add a user:
- Click on Create a kSuite user.
- Click on Next:
- Enter the user's first and last name, and define their role as a simple user:
- Legal representative
- Legal responsibility for the organization
- Can manage all products and users
- Can manage accounting and orders for new products
- Administrator
- Can manage all products and users
- Can manage accounting and orders for new products
- User
- Can manage the products you authorize
- Can manage accounting if you authorize it
- Legal representative
- Do not create an email address for the user and indicate their existing email address to which to send the invitation:
- You can force this future user to log in with this email address or allow them to specify another email address (especially useful if they already have a user account with Infomaniak under a different login ID).
- Add the user to your kSuite with the toggle switch.
- Click on the Invite button:
The invitation is pending until the invited user completes their registration (read more below). The Organization's user dashboard clearly indicates this status:
Accept the invitation
To access the Organization holding kChat:
- The invited user receives the invitation at their email address and clicks on the Accept the invitation button:
- He specifies his contact details as well as the email address/password he wishes to use and completes the registration:
- Once registration is complete, the newly registered user can log in to their Manager and access kChat to which they have been invited.
- Existing users are automatically notified of the new participant's arrival and can now converse with them; as soon as they are added, the new user receives a welcome message from kChat.bot:
Access to kSuite, not access to managing kSuite!
It is important to differentiate the use of the kChat app (within kSuite) and the management of kSuite itself.
In the invitation example above, the new user has been invited to join kChat. They are counted as a kSuite user when an administrator accesses the management of their kSuite users:
However, this new user will not be able to directly manage the kSuite to which he was invited since his role (defined in the first point 5 above) does not authorize him to do so.
This is why this user will not see any active links in the Collaborative Tools → kSuite section of their Infomaniak Manager. They will need to switch to the Infomaniak applications using the menu at the top right:
Note that if necessary, this user can order their own kSuite with no connection to the kSuite to which they were invited.
