Getting started: kSync for Android
kSync is a free application offered by Infomaniak for smartphones with the Android operating system (Samsung, Huawei, Google Pixel, etc.). It allows you to easily synchronize contacts, calendars/agendas, and tasks between your mobile devices and the tools offered within Infomaniak Mail:
- calendar.infomaniak.com for managing calendars/agendas
- contacts.infomaniak.com for managing contacts/address books
Why Install kSync?
Firstly, configuring synchronization at the email level does not mean that contacts & calendars will also be synchronized. Email syncs via the IMAP protocol, while your contacts & calendars can be synchronized using the cardDAV and calDAV protocols. To facilitate this synchronization on Android, it is recommended to install kSync. On iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.), it is recommended to use an Apple profile, which can be downloaded from our configuration assistant.
Microsoft (which includes Outlook) has its own format that is not compatible with cardDAV and calDAV. Therefore, it is not possible to synchronize contacts & calendars with Infomaniak on Outlook mobile (smartphone).
