kDrive depot box

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 then directly sent and organized in the right place on your kDrive.

Prerequisites

• Have a paid kDrive subscription

Create a drop box

To access kDrive and create a drop box:

1. Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Firefox
2. Click on the icon in the top right corner of the interface (or navigate through the left side menu, for example)
3. Choose kDrive (Collaborative Tools universe)
4. Click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
5. Navigate the kDrive hierarchy displayed in the left side menu and go to the folder that will host the data collected in the drop box
   1. Stay in the personal folder if the data is private and specific to your user
   2. Go to the common folder if you want other users of your kDrive to directly view the data in the drop box
6. Click on 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)
7. Click on Drop box
   
8. Enter the name of the drop box
9. Based on the choice in point 5 above, you can still decide whether, despite being in a common folder, you want to restrict access to only your user
10. Click on the blue Create
    
11. Share the drop box link or click on Send by email to share it with your contacts
12. The advanced options allow you to receive an email notification when a file is deposited, 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.
