This guide explains how to manage a calendar and its events within the Google Calendar mobile app (application for iOS/Android smartphones or tablets) and/or the Infomaniak Calendar web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar), while keeping all data fully synchronized thanks to the Infomaniak mobile app kSync (application for Android smartphones or tablets).

 

Introduction

  • Refer to this other guide if you only want to display an Infomaniak calendar in read-only mode on Google Calendar (web and mobile app).
    • The reverse is also possible if you only want to display a Google calendar in read-only mode on the Infomaniak Calendar web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
  • The procedure below allows you to edit calendar events on both sides, but only on the mobile version of the Google Calendar app.

 

Synchronize the Infomaniak calendar and the mobile device

Prerequisites

  1. Download the Google Calendar mobile app for Android.
  2. Download the Infomaniak kSync mobile app (application for Android smartphones or tablets) here:


     
    • The kSync app is also available on F-droid.
  3. Install kSync.

Next, launch the kSync app on your Android device. A step-by-step wizard will help you configure the app according to your needs:

  1. Decide if you want to synchronize tasks.
  2. Allow kSync to access the required items on the device, primarily the calendar.
  3. Allow the app to run in the background for better synchronization (uses more battery); settings can also be adjusted within the app itself:
  4. The key is to grant access rights to the services you need to synchronize:
  5. Go back to the kSync app and continue the configuration:
  6. Tap to add an Infomaniak user account (the one you use to log in to your Infomaniak services):
    1. For example, in the Calendar web app, the user menu in the top right corner shows the login email address.
    2. You can then access the calendars of the Organization to which the current user belongs:
    3. This is the data that will be synchronized to your device when you log in to the same Infomaniak account on kSync…
  7. Enter your Infomaniak login credentials (see point a above).
  8. Tap the button to log in:
  9. Complete the two-factor authentication steps as you normally would.
  10. Once logged in to kSync, activate the calendars (from those displayed, which are linked to your Infomaniak account) to be synchronized from the CALDAV tab:
  11. Start the synchronization using the button at the bottom right.

 

Automatic synchronization of the native calendar

  • At this stage, the native application on your Android device (Samsung Calendar, for example, on Samsung devices) will be synchronized and display the events from your Infomaniak calendar (you may need to activate the account in the application):
  • An event added and/or modified on one of the interfaces will be automatically synchronized everywhere:

 

Enable the calendar in Google Calendar

To find your Infomaniak calendar in Google Calendar and be able to edit its events:

  1. Open Google Calendar on your Android device.
  2. Tap the menu button with three horizontal lines at the top left of the interface:
  3. Tap Settings at the bottom of the menu:
  4. Tap Manage accounts:
  5. Enable the account corresponding to your Infomaniak calendar:
  6. Go back to the previous page and make sure the Infomaniak calendar appears among the accounts, and change the color if necessary:
  7. That's it, Google Calendar is synchronized with the Infomaniak calendar. Any event added and/or modified in either interface will be automatically synchronized everywhere:

This guide will help you understand the structure of your Infomaniak services. The goal is to familiarize you with the terminology used and to help you easily manage your management interfaces, especially when using my kSuite.

 

Introduction

  • An Organisation is the term used to represent the grouping of Infomaniak services and users (you and any collaborators, family members, etc.).
  • To understand what an Organisation actually represents, this guide is structured around several possible scenarios:
    1. Any new registration for a free address my ksuite (ik.me / etik.com / ikmail.com).
    2. Any new registration for other Infomaniak services.
    3. Combined use of my kSuite and other services in the ecosystem:
      1. Register for my kSuite by specifying an existing Infomaniak account
      2. Purchase Infomaniak products using only a my kSuite account

 

1. Registering for my kSuite (ik.me / etik.com / ikmail.com)

During registration on welcome.infomaniak.com/signup/myksuite, you chose the name for your email address, for example anna.a@ik.me, and then entered a personal phone number:

  1. Once your registration is validated, you can access your email address anna.a@ik.me via the web app Mail ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail:
  2. You can distinguish:
    1. The logo/type of your Organization, which in this case indicates that it is a my kSuite account.
    2. The button allows you to access the Manager manager.infomaniak.com and other apps/services related to my kSuite:
      • In this case, the Manager will only contain information about managing your my kSuite account:
    3. The initials correspond to your Infomaniak account (first name/last name provided during registration):

This my kSuite account cannot directly contain hosting products, or kSuite Pro with a domain name, etc. The rest of this guide explains how to create a more comprehensive Organization if needed.

Please note that it is not possible to export your my kSuite services to another Organization.

To use your new my kSuite email address in the Mail web app, please refer to this other guide.

 

2. Registration and purchase of hosting, domain, etc.

When you registered at welcome.infomaniak.com/signup/, you chose your login ID, in the form of a personal email address, for example anna.alpha@orange.fr :

You then chose the type of Organization you wanted to create (personal, or for a company, association, etc.):

  1. Once registration is complete, you can access the Manager at manager.infomaniak.com, and your Organization is still an “empty shell” for which you are currently the sole legal representative:
  2. You can distinguish:
    1. The logo/type of your Organization, which in this case indicates that it is a personal Organization (automatically named during creation using the creator's first name/last name); this can be customized.
    2. The button provides access to kSuite ksuite.infomaniak.com and other apps/services related to the kSuite Free added to your new Organization:
    3. The initials correspond to your Infomaniak account (first name/last name provided during registration):

 

3. Combined Use

What happens if you sign up for my kSuite using an Infomaniak account that you already own for using hosting products?

Or, how to proceed if you want to purchase hosting products when you only have a my kSuite account?

 

Register for my kSuite by specifying an existing account

When registering on welcome.infomaniak.com/signup/myksuite, you choose to log in with an existing account

  1. Obviously, you should not enter a my kSuite account (anna.a@ik.me for example) as an existing account, because you cannot have multiple ik.me / etik.com / ikmail.com email addresses:
  2. Enter your existing Organization account, anna.alpha@orange.fr:
  3. The creation of a my kSuite account is then offered to you:
  4. Once your registration is validated, you will access the Manager manager.infomaniak.com:
    1. your previous Organization is visible…
    2. and is separate from my kSuite, which is currently selected:
  5. Click on one or the other of the Organizations/my kSuite in this menu (which is always accessible permanently in the upper left corner) to switch between them.

 

Purchase products using a my kSuite account

Another scenario: you want to purchase one of the services offered by Infomaniak on www.infomaniak.com, for example a domain name for your future website/email:

  1. You will be redirected to the Infomaniak Shop; proceed to the next step:
  2. At the step where you need to enter your existing Infomaniak ID, enter your existing my kSuite account (anna.alpha@ikmail.com in this example):
  3. Your existing ID is recognized; you must authenticate:
  4. You will then necessarily proceed to the Organization creation step; choose the type of Organization you wish to create (personal, or for a company, association, etc.):
  5. To complete the purchase, the details relating to the Organization will be requested for billing purposes (they are also used to generate an owner for the domain name ordered); all that remains is to complete the order:
  6. Once the order is complete, you can access the Manager at manager.infomaniak.com:
    1. your new Organisation is visible…
    2. and is separate from my kSuite, which is currently selected.
  7. Click on the new Organisation to switch to it and manage your ordered products:
  8. To switch between your Organizations/my kSuite, click on this menu (always accessible permanently in the top left corner):
    1. First, to go to the main Manager page,
    2. then click on the chevron to select the destination:
  9. You will then find your my kSuite email address.

  • It aims to streamline collaboration by allowing you to react quickly to an email without leaving the kSuite environment.
  • It reduces the back and forth between classic messaging and the collaborative workspace.

 

Send a response to an email via kChat

This guide explains how to create, save, and edit an Office file (text, spreadsheet, presentation, etc.) on the web app kDrive (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive) and on the mobile app kDrive (application for smartphone or iOS/Android tablet).

 

Note for LibreOffice users: to avoid display or formatting issues on kDrive, always convert your LibreOffice files (ODF: .ods, .odt, .odp) to their Microsoft Office XML equivalents (.xlsx, .docx, .pptx) before editing them online.

 

Using the native editor

kDrive natively integrates the Docs, Grids, and Points applications, which allow you to create, edit, and collaborate online on Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, and PowerPoint .ppsx documents. This allows you to work with:

  • text document
  • spreadsheet
  • presentation
  • notes
  • draw.io document for diagrams, schematics, and wireframes

A feature allows you to add a bookmark (a shortcut to your favorite section of your document, or the equivalent of a web page anchor) that you can easily share with your contacts. You can also easily notify a user in your organization directly on the document.

Please refer to the guide on this topic.

 

Using Microsoft Office Online

Another editing solution is available to you (kDrive Pro or kSuite Business / Enterprise required): the Microsoft Office Online editor.

Consult the guide on this topic.

 

Define the default editor

 

✘ UNAVAILABLE with
kSuite Free / kSuite Standard

This guide details how to manage the Organization Directory, which is a special address book available within the Infomaniak Contacts web app (online service: ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts).

 

Introduction

  • The Organization Directory is "automatically created" by the various users that make up one of the Organizations to which your user is affiliated.
  • If Groups are created within the Organization, they will be 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, hiding them from users with fewer permissions:
  • It is not possible to export or rename it.
    • You can change its display color:

 

Accessing the Directory

If your login ID corresponds to and belongs to one (or more) Organizations, you can access the different directories of these Organizations:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Contacts web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts).
  2. Click on the chevron to the left of the name of the Organization in question.
  3. Click on {Organization name} Directory
  4. The contacts of the selected Organization are displayed on the right:

 

Modify a contact's details in the directory

You can do many things (copy, export their profile, view email exchanges or calendar events, add to favorites, call, etc.) by clicking on a contact's profile in the Organization Directory address book, but you will not be able to modify the details on behalf of the person concerned:

To modify the main information, the person concerned (the person for whom a change needs to be made) must log in to their profile and modify it (see below):

A. First name & last name

To change the first name and last name displayed in the directory, the user in question (here, faq@exemple-domaine.ch) must log in to their account and modify their contact information. Please refer to this other guide for more information.

B. Email address

To change the email address displayed in the directory, the user in question must log in to their account and modify their contact information. Please refer to this other guide for more information.

C. Phone number

To change the phone number displayed in the directory, the user in question must log in to their account and modify their contact information. Please refer to this other guide for more information.

This guide will quickly introduce you to the essential features of Euria, the artificial intelligence available within kSuite. It performs particularly well with the kDrive Infomaniak web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kdrive).

 

✘ UNAVAILABLE with
kSuite Free / kSuite Standard
my kSuite / my kSuite+ (ik.me, etik.com, ikmail.com)
kDrive Solo / kDrive Team / kDrive Pro


 

Use AI for your files on kDrive

Prerequisites

 

To access Euria on kDrive:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak kDrive web app (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 side panel on the right; if you close it, Euria remains accessible via the round icon located in the upper right corner:

 

How can Euria help?

Euria helps you to effectively utilize the document you have opened (and only this document); it can, in particular:

  • answer your questions about its content (details, statistics, changes)
  • summarize its key points (or even simplify it, and even more so if you specify “for a 10-year-old”…)
  • translate it
  • provide metadata (size, creation or modification date)
  • explain the terms or acronyms used

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, what the top priority projects are, or the last date the document was modified…

 

Create an event for your calendar

Using a document that mentions an appointment (e.g., a medical appointment), you can ask Euria to create a code snippet that, once copied and pasted into an appropriate file, will allow you to add an event to your calendar. Example phrasing: “Create an event in ics format by taking the details from this appointment.”.

Euria can also extract events from a more complex document:

Euria will explain what it did (a VCALENDAR code) and what you need to do (create a new file with the .ics extension containing the code it generated, and open it on your computer to import it into your usual calendar app or import it into your kSuite calendar):

Create a character family tree

With a book stored on your kDrive, you can ask Euria to create a detailed and comprehensive family tree showing the relationships between all the characters. You will then obtain a list of names with their relationships.

But you can take the experience even further by then requesting a "Mermaid" diagram based on this list. Simply copy and paste the code provided by Euria into a tool like mermaid.live:

Analyze a survey, write a blog post

Based on a survey/report document, you can ask Euria to write a new article in the tone you want and targeted at the desired audience. Example: “Based on all of this, write a blog post with an engaging title and a text of no more than 400 words, targeting an audience of women aged 30 to 40.”.

You can also ask it to find “what are the biases in this survey” orwhat aspects should be explored further or verified. Euria can thus help you adopt a critical approach to a survey or report by highlighting any potential shortcomings, exaggerations, or biases.

It can also rephrase the conclusions of the survey for different audiences (professionals, teenagers, curious readers, etc.), suggest alternative angles for a related article, or generate titles, introductions, or summaries according to the desired level of complexity.

The goal is to extract maximum editorial value from a single source content by diversifying the formats, tones, and perspectives.

Step 1

You need to order the mail service by following this guide.

When placing your order, you can choose to transfer the domain name at the same time or order the mail service separately.

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

Step 2

Once the addresses are configured and your old content has been imported, you will be able to connect your external domain name to your Infomaniak Mail serviceto start receiving emails with Infomaniak.

You will find the MX/SPF records to add to your domain's DNS zone here:

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 period at the end: "mta-gw.infomaniak.ch.")

Step 3 (optional)

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

Once the transfer has started, you should have access to the DNS zone of your domain name in the Infomaniak Manager. You can then check…

1. … in the DNS diagnostic to see if any corrections need to be made and, if necessary, add the DNS entries that would be required for other services used with your domain name (newsletter or other).

2. … in the global security tab of your email service to check if DKIM is properly enabled.

 

If emails arrived during the migration with your previous provider, you can import the content of your old addresses into Infomaniak again by following this guide (duplicates are handled).
