This guide details the Lite Sync option of the desktop app kDrive (desktop application on macOS).
Preamble
- The Lite Sync feature saves space by virtually storing your kDrive files on your computer, only downloading them when necessary.
- The files are always accessible from the kDrive web app (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com) but locally they are present in a "dehydrated" way, requiring a loading time to be fully accessible.
- This allows you to view, complete, and synchronize the content of kDrive without saturating the hard drive.
- The Lite Sync option always acts:
- on a specific kDrive (in the case where you synchronize several on the application).
- and on the entirety of the kDrive (or the entirety of an advanced synchronization).
- and via a specific kDrive app (another user of the same kDrive can make a different Lite Sync choice from yours).
- In case of a problem, consult this other guide on the subject.
Activating the Lite Sync option
Prerequisites & scope of use of Lite Sync
- macOS version ≥ 10.15 — not available with Linux
- File storage system under NTFS / APFS
The Lite Sync option can be activated during the installation of the application (this is offered to you) or subsequently:
- Perform a left-click on the app icon in the notification area of your computer (top right on macOS).
- Click on the action menu â‹® to the right of the kDrive window.
- Select kDrive settings.
- Click on the button in the Synchronization section to enable Lite Sync.
The cloud icon will appear to the far right of a sync name in the application, indicating that Lite Sync is enabled. If the crossed-out cloud icon
is displayed, this means that Lite Sync is not enabled:
Always keep on this device
Once Lite Sync is enabled, you can still make a folder and its subfolders or only one or more subfolders available locally:
- From the macOS Finder, navigate to a folder synchronized with kDrive and right-click.
- Select the option Always keep locally available under kDrive:
Free up space
Conversely, once Lite Sync is enabled, you can free up space in a folder and its subfolders or only in one or more subfolders.
Note: "free up space" is not applied by default to new files or folders added locally.
- From the macOS Finder, navigate to a folder synchronized with kDrive and right-click.
- Select the option free up local space under kDrive:
The action Free up space will free up storage space on your computer. Files will remain visible but will not be accessible without an internet connection.
Example of use (storage space required)
If you enable Lite Sync, the space occupied (900 GB for example) on the Infomaniak server will be freed up on your hard drive, but the opposite is also true (for example, 900 GB of free space required on your hard drive if you enable the Lite Sync option midway).
Therefore, it is recommended to keep the initial choice of enabling or not enabling Lite Sync, and not change it midway.
File "dehydration"
As explained in the preamble, a dehydrated file is a kDrive file whose complete version is not present on the hard drive and instead a 1 KB "shortcut" is displayed, which is normal behavior when Lite Sync is enabled.
In some cases (for example, if you copy the files from your hard drive while Lite Sync is enabled, and then start a synchronization with a new kDrive) the application will block the import of this type of file. To resolve these errors, you can download the complete file from the kDrive Web app (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
To summarize, here are the status icons that are used:
Status icons | Files | Folders |
---|---|---|
the file is only on kDrive "in the cloud", to view it locally, you will need to download it | the folder contains at least one file or subfolder present on kDrive online | |
the file is always available locally and synchronized with the online version | the folder contains only local files or subfolders synchronized with their online version | |
kDrive encounters a synchronization conflict with the file | kDrive encounters a synchronization conflict with the folder | |
An error occurred during the file transfer and it was interrupted | An error occurred during the folder transfer and it was interrupted | |
The progress circle indicates a download in progress | The progress circle indicates a download in progress |
Disable the Lite Sync option
To do this:
- Perform a left-click on the app icon in the notification area of your computer (top right on macOS).
- Click on the action menu â‹® to the right of the kDrive window.
- Select kDrive settings.
- Click on the button in the Synchronization to disable Lite Sync.
- Two scenarios may occur:
- If there is enough space on your computer, a message confirming the deactivation is displayed. Simply click on Continue.
- If there is not enough space on your computer, a message will indicate the missing space to allow the deactivation of Lite Sync. The synchronization of your kDrive will be paused until you select the files to synchronize on your computer.

Enable the Lite Sync option
Prerequisites & scope of use of Lite Sync
- OS Windows version ≥ 10 (21h2)
- not available with Linux
- 64-bit processor (ARM64 compatible)
- File storage system under NTFS / APFS
The Lite Sync option can be enabled during the installation of the application (this is offered to you) or subsequently:
- Left-click the app icon in the notification area of your computer (bottom right on Windows).
- Click the action menu â‹® to the right of the kDrive window.
- Select kDrive Settings.
- Click the button in the Synchronization section to enable Lite Sync.
The cloud icon will appear to the far right of a sync name on the application, indicating that Lite Sync is enabled. If the crossed-out cloud icon
is displayed, this means that Lite Sync is not enabled:
Keep on this device
Once Lite Sync is enabled, you can still make a folder and its subfolders or only one or more subfolders available locally:
- From the Windows Explorer, navigate to a folder synchronized with kDrive and right-click.
- Select the Keep on this device option under kDrive:
Free up space
Conversely, once Lite Sync is enabled, you can free up space in a folder and its subfolders or only in one or more subfolders.
Warning: "free up space" is not applied by default to new files or folders added locally.
- From the Windows Explorer, navigate to a folder synchronized with kDrive and right-click
- Select the Free up space option under kDrive:
The action Free up space will free up storage space on your computer. Files will remain visible but will no longer be accessible without an internet connection.
Usage example #1 (required storage space)
If you enable Lite Sync, the space occupied (e.g. 900 GB) on the Infomaniak server will be freed up on your hard drive, but the reverse is also true (e.g. 900 GB of free space required on your hard drive if the Lite Sync option is activated along the way).
Therefore, it is recommended to keep the initial choice of activating or not activating Lite Sync, and not to change it along the way.
File "dehydration"
As explained in the preamble, a dehydrated file is a kDrive file whose complete version is not present on the hard drive and instead a 1 KB "shortcut" is displayed, which is normal behavior when Lite Sync is activated.

To resolve these errors, you can download the complete file from the kDrive web app (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
Usage example #2 (icon summary)
Files on the hard drive synchronized with the Lite Sync option, everything is in the cloud (on your remote online kDrive):
Deactivation of the LiteSync option, the "physical" synchronization starts:
Synchronization complete, the files have been downloaded to your computer and then have the appropriate icon:
To summarize, here are the status icons used in your Windows Explorer:
Status icons | Files | Folders |
---|---|---|
The file exists on online kDrive and is only virtually on your hard drive; to view it locally, you will need to download it | The folder contains at least one file or subfolder not physically present | |
Lite Sync is not working properly (contact Infomaniak support) | Lite Sync is not working properly (contact Infomaniak support) | |
The file exists on kDrive online and is also physically on your hard drive | The folder contains only files and subfolders without Lite Sync | |
The file exists on kDrive online and is only virtually on your hard drive for reasons decided by Windows (for example lack of space) | The folder contains local and temporary files and subfolders | |
Synchronization is in progress or pending | Synchronization is in progress or pending | |
The progress bar indicates an ongoing download | The progress bar indicates an ongoing download |

To correct an error of type "Unable to start Lite Sync plugin
" which usually occurs when the Lite Sync extension has disappeared or does not have the necessary permissions…
... check for the presence of the extension
From a terminal application (command line interface, CLI) on a macOS device:
% systemextensionsctl list
The result looks like this:
1 extension(s)
--- com.apple.system_extension.endpoint_security
enabled active teamID bundleID (version) name [state]
* * 864VDCS2QY com.infomaniak.drive.desktopclient.LiteSyncExt (3.5.0/1) kDrive LiteSync Extension [activated enabled]

This guide explains how to create a PTR record on the dedicated IPs of VPS Cloud / VPS Lite.
Preamble
- A PTR (Pointer Record) is a type of DNS record used to resolve IP addresses into domain names.
- The PTR record is used to associate an IP address with a domain name or subdomain.
- This is the opposite of the A record which is used to resolve domain names into IP addresses.
Create a PTR on the VPS Cloud / VPS Lite IP
If you have a VPS Cloud / VPS Lite and you want to create a PTR record for your dedicated IP address, here are the steps to follow:
- Make sure your domain or subdomain points to the IP address (v4 or v6) of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite server.
- You can do this by creating an A record for your domain or by modifying the existing record to point to the IP address of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite.
- Check that your domain is correctly pointing to the IP address of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite (see 1).
- Contact Infomaniak support to request the creation of a PTR record for your dedicated IP address.
- Mention the IP address of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite server (you can find this IP address in your server management dashboard or by using a command line command like "
ifconfig
" or "ipconfig
" depending on the operating system you are using).
- Mention the IP address of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite server (you can find this IP address in your server management dashboard or by using a command line command like "
- Once the PTR record is created, use an online verification tool to ensure that the PTR record points to your domain or subdomain.
The Infomaniak infrastructure does not pass virtualization instructions to VPS Cloud / VPS Lite; it is therefore not possible to do nested virtualization (virtualization that would run within an already virtualized environment) as this causes issues, notably during live migrations.
This guide explains how to access kDrive files locally on your hard drive via the desktop app kDrive (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux), as well as files from the Web app kDrive (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).

Preamble
- This procedure deletes all the content of the volume dedicated to the operating system (
/dev/vda
). - In the case of a VPS Cloud, the volume dedicated to data storage (
/dev/vdb
) is not affected by the reset.
Warning: depending on the installed operating system, the system volume may be named /dev/sda
, /dev/sda1
or /dev/vda
… same for the data volume /dev/sdb
, /dev/sdb2
or /dev/vdb
… It is therefore necessary to replace these indications with those corresponding to your situation.

Infomaniak does not offer virtual disk encryption on VPS Cloud / VPS Lite but provides a block device that you can format and encrypt if you wish.
Jelastic Cloud is a platform as a service (PaaS) that allows you to easily create development environments on the fly. This solution is particularly advantageous if your resource consumption (CPU, RAM) varies greatly depending on the time of year.
A Cloud Server allows you to manage applications and websites as easily as shared hosting while giving you the advantage of being able to install additional software as needed. This solution is very advantageous if your resource consumption (CPU, RAM) is stable and predictable.
A VPS Cloud or VPS Lite allows you to manage your entire server with the Linux distribution of your choice. Solid technical skills are required. This solution is very advantageous if your resource consumption (CPU, RAM) is stable and predictable.
In all three cases, you benefit from fully dedicated resources that you can freely adjust according to your needs.
Also, check out the Public Cloud offer.
