Manage kDrive drop boxes
This guide explains how to create a drop box with kDrive to invite contacts to deposit content (files or folders). The content uploaded by your contacts is thus directly sent and sorted in the right place on your kDrive.
Create a drop box
To access kDrive and create a drop box:
- Click here to access the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
- Navigate through the kDrive directory tree that appears in the left-hand side menu and go to the folder that will host the data collected in the drop box:
- Stay in the personal folder if the data is private and specific to your user.
- Go to the shared folder if you want other users of your kDrive to be able to view the data in the drop box directly.
- Click the blue New button when you are in the directory of your choice (the one that will host the data collected using the drop box).
- Click on Drop Box:
- Enter the name of the drop box.
- Depending on the choice made in point 2 above, you can still decide whether, despite being in a shared folder, you want to restrict access to your user only.
- Click the blue Create button:
- Share the link to the drop box or click on Send by email to share with your contacts.
- The advanced options allow you to receive an email notification upon file upload, protect the folder with a password, add an expiration date, and limit the storage space of the drop box:
- You can also customize the appearance.
Disable or modify a drop box
To access the drop boxes:
- Click here to access the Web app kDrive Infomaniak (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
- Click on Shares in the left sidebar.
- Click on Drop Boxes.
- Click on the action menu â‹® to the right of the relevant item in the displayed table.
- Click on Disable to cancel the share link without deleting the already shared data (the folder will become a regular folder)
or on Settings to modify the advanced options (point 9 above):
