Sync Joplin Notes via WebDAV with kDrive
This guide explains how to store the Joplin database on your kDrive Infomaniak and connect your various devices via the WebDAV protocol. This way, you keep your notes safely stored in a storage located in Switzerland.
Preface
- Joplin is a free and open-source note-taking tool that allows you to organize all your notes into folders and access them from any device (computer, mobile device, etc.).
