This guide details the structure of kDrive Infomaniak: online interface, menus for managing and finding shares, utility and meaning of default folders, etc.

Preamble

• This guide applies to the Web app kDrive (online service kdrive.infomaniak.com).
• The desktop app kDrive (desktop application for macOS / Windows / Linux) is not directly concerned (and will not display certain elements).
  • The mobile app (application for iOS / Android smartphone or tablet) is similar in terms of menu organization (with a few peculiarities such as offline files for example).
• The Communs folders and the Partages menu are only visible with certain multi-user offers.
• Do not rename and/or move the default folders either on the Web version or locally, as this causes synchronization issues.

3 main elements

The kDrive interface offers a left sidebar menu that guides you to the elements of kDrive, including these three main elements:

1. “Shared Folders”

This folder displays the tree structure of folders automatically shared with some or all users of the same kDrive; if they contain documents, they will be displayed in the center of the interface:

If you create a new folder here, you can choose to share it with the entire Organization (all kDrive users) or just a few users/teams:

2. “My personal folder”

This folder displays the tree structure of folders specific to the user themselves: indeed, each kDrive user has their own personal space that will not be automatically shared with other users of the same kDrive:

Any documents will be displayed in the center of the interface.

3. “Shares”

The Shares menu leads to 4 sub-menus displayed in the left sidebar:

1. The items shared with you by other kDrive users, among the kDrive accounts you have access to with your login credentials
2. The items that you share with other users
3. The elements you have shared by creating a public share link
4. The drop boxes

Any additional items will appear in the center of the interface and can be modified or deleted.

Secondary elements

“My favorites”

This menu groups your files and folders defined as favorites on kDrive, which you can then find on the web app…

… and the mobile app:

“My recent modifications”

This menu displays the latest operations performed by your user:

You can quickly return to recently modified files, even if they are scattered across different subfolders in your kDrive. You can also select these files to move or delete them in bulk.

“Trash”

This menu leads to your deleted data that can still be restored:

“Categories”

You can also quickly access your files if they are categorized using the Categories menu by clicking on the different categories grouped there:

Set the default display on startup

You can choose which home page to start navigating within online kDrive, from the following three options:
