This guide details the installation of the desktop app kDrive Infomaniak on a computer with an operating system Linux It will then allow you to sync your files with kDrive.
Prerequisites
- Download kDrive application for Linux(AppImage type file)
- Fuse2 (required to run an appimage*)
- D-Bus
- Gnome-keyring or kwallet(in principle already present on your machine except with some light distributions)
Installation of kDrive on Linux
To this end:
- Place the file in a folder named e.g. " Applications".
- Right-click on the file and choose Permissions.
- Check the box " Allow file execution as a program".
- Optional for Ubuntu: add the file in "App Preferences on Startup" so that kDrive runs on startup.
On this OS some kDrive features are not available, such as the Lite Sync option or the right-click context menu.
* Since version 23.04 (and later) of Ubuntu, after double-clicking on the AppImage file, nothing will happen. The latest versions of Ubuntu use a recent "too" version of FUSE (the "Filesystem in User Space" interface on which AppImages rely to work) for which AppImages are not designed. The AppImages need FUSE v2 to work: sudo apt install libfuse2
