Managing multiple kDrives (macOS / Windows)

This guide explains how to log in and manage multiple kDrives on a computer (macOS / Windows). This feature allows, for example, access to files from a personal kDrive and a professional kDrive.

Prerequisites

• Have a kDrive
• Have the kDrive application installed on your computer

Accessing Different kDrives from the Computer

A user logged into the kDrive application on their computer may already have access to multiple kDrives if they already work with multiple kDrives outside of the app, if they have been added to other kDrives, etc. They are all accessible as long as the user is logged in with the corresponding ID for those kDrives.

Accessing and Managing Other kDrives

To connect with a different account and thus access other kDrives:

from the kDrive application for computer

1. Left-click on the app icon in the notification area of your computer (top right on macOS, bottom right on Windows, and double left-click in the taskbar on Linux)
2. Click on the chevron to the right of the kDrive name (the kDrives you already have access to with your user will be displayed)
3. Click on Add a kDrive
   
4. Click on the badge with your initials or your avatar at the top right
5. Click on Add an account
   
6. Enter your Infomaniak account credentials — refer to this guide (click here) if needed
7. Select and configure the kDrive to add (including the directory to be used on the computer)
8. It is now possible to switch between kDrives when you click on the kDrive icon and then on the chevron in the opened window:
   

from a browser

1. Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge
