Connect to kDrive via WebDAV

This guide provides instructions for connecting to kDrive (paid plans only) using the WebDAV connection protocol.

Introduction

• Connecting via WebDAV is possible with kDrive's paid plans and allows, in particular:
  • to use your preferred WebDAV application instead of the official kDrive application.
  • to use kDrive as a synchronization base for a tool that would allow this via WebDAV (e.g., Joplin).
  • to access kDrive from your operating system's file manager.

Getting the ID (kDrive ID)

Prerequisites

• To have a paid kDrive plan (kDrive Free, kDrive Standard - even multi-user - plans are not WebDAV compatible).

To find your kDrive ID:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name  assigned to the relevant product.
3. The kDrive structure will appear in the left sidebar menu.
4. The URL address  https://kdrive.infomaniak.com/app/drive/123456 displayed at the top of your browser contains a number:
   

This number (in the example 123456) is your kDrive ID (IDkDrive).

Thus, you will need to write https://IDkDrive‍.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com whenever necessary (https://123456.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com e.g., as the WebDAV address).
