This guide details the management of the Organization Directory, i.e., a “special” address book present in the Infomaniak Web app Contacts (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts).

 

Preamble

  • The Organization Directory is "automatically created" by the various users who make up one of the Organizations to which your user is attached.
  • If work teams are created within the Organization, then these form groups visible in the Organization Directory:
  • This address book is automatically synchronized with all internal users of your Organization.
  • An administrator of the Organization can make certain entries in the directory private to hide them from users with fewer permissions:
  • It is not possible to export it or rename it.
    • You can change its display color:

This guide allows you to quickly discover the essential features of Euria, the artificial intelligence at your disposal within kSuite, particularly powerful with the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).

 

✘ UNAVAILABLE with
kSuite Free / kSuite Standard
my kSuite / my kSuite+ (ik.me, etik.com, ikmail.com)
kDrive offers (excluding kSuite)


 

Use AI for your files on kDrive

Prerequisites

 

To access Euria on kDrive:

  1. Click here to access the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).
  2. 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:
  3. 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 effectively use the document you have opened (and only that one); it can, in particular:

  • 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 company report on the past year, you can ask for the current size of the Development department, which projects are top priority, or the last date the document was modified…

 

Create an event for your agenda

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: “Create an ics format event 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 family tree to show the relationships between all the characters. You will thus obtain a list of names/first 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 proposed by Euria into a tool like mermaid.live:

Analyze a survey, write a blog article

From a survey/report-type document, you can ask Euria to write a new article in the tone you want and addressed to the desired target. Example: “From all this, write a blog article with a catchy title and a text of max 400 words, for a target audience of women aged 30 to 40”.

But you can also ask it to find “what are the biases of 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 derived article, or generate titles, introductions, or summaries according to the desired level of complexity.

The goal is to extract as much editorial value as possible from the same source content, by diversifying the forms, tones, and viewpoints.

You can then import the content of your old addresses to Infomaniak: refer to this other guide.

Step 2

Once the addresses are configured and your old content imported, you will be able to link your external domain name to your Infomaniak Mail Service to start receiving emails at Infomaniak. You will need to follow the chapter "Link the external domain to your Mail Service" of this guide.

You will find here the MX / SPF to add in the DNS zone of your domain name:

SPF

Type: TXT
Host: Leave blank
Target: v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch -all

MX

Priority: 5
Host: Leave blank
Target: mta-gw.infomaniak.ch (for Gandi, it is necessary to add a dot at the end "mta-gw.infomaniak.ch." )

Step 3 (optional)

Once everything is working correctly and if it hasn't been done already, you can transfer your domain name: refer to this other guide.

This guide introduces Work Teams, a user management system for your Organization, available on the Infomaniak Manager.

 

Preamble

  • To facilitate access and the addition of a collaborator within the Infomaniak ecosystem, the Work Teams feature allows you to create user groups and grant them access to the services they need with just a few clicks.
  • A few examples:
    • You create a team for a new department: immediately associate its mailboxes, its kDrive organization folders, and its dedicated kChat discussion channels; each new collaborator added to the team will automatically receive all these accesses.
    • You are a web agency and you want to give your webmaster teams access to all of your web hostings: simply create a new group, choose all the hostings they will need access to, and invite them to the work team.
    • You own a kDrive: authorize access to a folder for a Team and adjust access based on users added to or removed from the team over time.
    • You use Streaming or Ticketing services and want to give your teams access: create a new team that will have access to these two products or two separate teams that will have access to the two products completely independently.
  • It is entirely possible:
    • to associate resources (Mail, kDrive, kChat) upon creation of the team to automate onboarding,
    • to adjust individual access levels: for kDrive, individual access takes precedence over team access, while for Mail, access levels are cumulative.
    • to add the same user to multiple teams,
    • to invite external users to your Organization to one of your teams,
    • to add one or more users to a team at once,
    • to designate a team leader to easily identify a project manager or the point of contact.

 

Manage your teams

Managing teams now allows for complete centralization. No need to intervene in each tool separately: everything is controlled from the Infomaniak Manager for a smooth reorganization of your collaborators. Learn about the guides on this topic:

Infomaniak takes pride in securing data through an integral 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 reactivity and maintain user trust.

To ensure effective and transparent processing, Infomaniak has established a structured process with precise deadlines:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. When an investigation is necessary, Infomaniak conducts an in-depth analysis within a maximum period 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.
  4. Finally, the company commits to completing the analysis and implementing the appropriate corrective actions within a period of 60 business days when technically possible.

This final step includes the implementation of preventive measures, communication of the results to the parties concerned, and follow-up on the recommendations issued to prevent the recurrence of identified problems.

Infomaniak also commits to keeping complainants informed of the follow-up given to a complaint, provided that the complainant has completed the form by indicating a contact email address.

This guide details how the storage of data from your various kSuite products works.

 

Preamble

  • The space used for data storage is:
    • shared among the different users of your kSuite,
    • and shared with certain products that make it up (kDrive and kChat for example).
  • The total amount of storage space available depends on your subscription and the number of users chosen:
    • It corresponds to the maximum amount of storage space that can be used by all of your users.
    • There is no quota per user.
  • Data from the Mail Service is not counted in the kSuite storage.

 

Increase or decrease kSuite storage space

Do you need more space to store your kSuite data?

  • Modify the offer and add users or switch to a higher offer including more users.
  • The more users included in your offer, the more storage space will increase.

You can also recover storage space by permanently deleting files from kDrive or kChat.

It is not possible to:

  • reduce the storage space,
  • go below a certain number of kSuite users depending on the available and already used storage.

This guide helps you resolve connection errors on Infomaniak mobile applications (kDrive, Euria, SwissTransfer, Mail) when the security message "your device is not recognized as safe" appears on Android.

 

Connection issues "Your device is not recognized as safe"

This blockage is related to Google's security protocols (Google Play Integrity API). Infomaniak uses these standards to ensure that data is not accessed on a device whose security could be compromised.

This usually occurs in the following cases:

  • Use of an unofficial operating system (Custom ROM / LineageOS).
  • Rooted device or unlocked bootloader.
  • Android version too old or not certified by Google.
  • Certain smartphone models (e.g.: Huawei without official Google services).

 

Immediate workaround

If your device is healthy but the message persists, you can bypass the blockage by forcing a new manual authentication:

  1. On the application login screen, click on the down arrow/chevron icon next to your account or avatar.
  2. Select the option "Log in with another account" (even if it is the same account).
  3. Enter your credentials manually (Infomaniak email address and password).

This method allows you to ignore the previous connection token and validate access via a new secure session.

  3. Add the bots indicated as such with the label [bot] or search for the term bot or chat.

Do not create a group conversation between the bots and yourself as it will not work. You need to create a private discussion channel between each bot individually and yourself.

Then simply write to them as if you were conversing with an acquaintance:

This guide explains how to add a completely external user to kChat.

 

Preamble

  • If you are the administrator of the Organization on which my kSuite (and therefore kChat) is located with full rights granted for kChat, you can invite a completely external user to your Organization who will not be counted as a user.
  • However, the latter will be invited to create an Infomaniak account if they do not already have one.
  • To add a kChat user and grant them more rights (they will be counted as a my kSuite user), refer to this other guide.

 

Invite a user to chat in a private channel

To send an email invitation from kChat:

  1. Click here to access the kChat Web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kchat) or open the kChat desktop app (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux).
  2. Click the button to Invite members:
  3. Specify the email address of the person to invite.
  4. Click on their email address to add them as a guest:
  5. Specify the channel(s) to which these people will have access.
  6. Click the blue button to send the invitation:
  7. The invited person receives an email with a link leading to the kChat interface and the channel shared with them:
  8. Obviously, there is a registration phase if the user does not yet have an Infomaniak account (during this time, the invited user is listed pending on the kChat channel in question):
    • Note that it will not be listed as pending within my kSuite or elsewhere as it is a restricted and external user; and as long as they have not completed their registration, the quota remains 0 external users:
  9. Once the registration is complete, the guest can access kChat, a restricted version limited to the channels specified by the administrator when creating the invitation:
  10. They can start a private conversation with other users:
    • From the administrator account, once the external user's registration is complete, you get the mention of 1 external user on your dashboard:
    • And now you have the indication on kChat that the user is accessing your private channel:

 

Permissions of the invited user

Guests can…

  • … pin messages to channels
  • … use "slash commands" (except for restricted commands such as inviting members, renaming channels, modifying headers, etc.)
  • … add a channel to favorites
  • mute a channel
  • … update their profile
  • … use different authentication methods from other users
  • … use the kChat app: the guest can open the app (Web, mobile, or desktop) whether they are already a member of a kChat or not; this operating principle is different with kDrive, for example.

Guests cannot…

  • … discover public channels
  • … join open teams
  • … create direct messages or group messages with members who are not part of the same channel
  • … invite people

 

In case of a problem

If you are an administrator of the Organization, but still cannot invite a new user to kChat, check that you are indeed an administrator within kChat, as it is quite possible to be a simple user/collaborator, even being the sole user with a license on my kSuite, for example:

  1. Click here to access the management of the Organization's users on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click on your username:
  3. Click on the chevron to expand the kSuite collaborative tools:
  4. Under kChat, change the role from user to administrator:
