Is it possible to use Astiga with kDrive by Infomaniak?

Hi!

I may transfer my musical collection (around 280 Gbytes) from Microsoft OneDrive to Infomaniak kDrive (https://www.infomaniak.com/fr/kdrive).

Is there any chance Astiga can connect to a kDrive cloud?

    It looks like it should work with WebDAV - https://www.infomaniak.com/en/support/faq/2409/connect-to-kdrive-via-webdav

    Let me know how you get on, because the actual settings for WebDAV can sometimes vary a little.

    @Greguti Did you make any progress?

  • Process seems simple enough, but the help page from Infomaniak says: "This access option is only available for paid versions of kDrive." I don't have a paid version yet... I tested anyway but it says "An error occured: null." and a link "Go back to initial directory".

    Ah. Ok, let me know if you do try it!

    I purchased a "solo" plan for Infomaniak, that is 2 Tbytes of cloud via kDrive. I put my music collection on it (almot 500 Go, mainly MP3s).

    Tried to connect from Astiga but each time I get the final message "An error occured:Sabre\DAV\Exception\NotAuthenticatedUsername or password was incorrect"

    Found out why!

    Server is = https://[mykDriveNumber].connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com (with the correct numbers instead of [mykDriveNumber])

    Login is my mail from Infomaniak that I use to connect to my kDrive

    Password is NOT the password I use to connect to my Infomaniak account, it's a specific password I must create first in order to access kDrive, it's what is called an "application password" on the Infomaniak manager. You can create a specific password for each of your Infomaniak suite (kmail, kdrive, kmeet, etc.).

    So I had first to create a new password for my kDrive and THEN, specify this password in my Astiga settings.

    Now it seems to work ok.

    Thanks so much for documenting that!

    The app-specific password is a common pattern in many services.

    Why did you choose Infomaniak, if you don't mind sharing?

    Because I want to get rid of GAFAM services like my Onedrive account.

    I switched to Linux Ubuntu few months ago, I'm happy with it and now I want to resign from my Office 365 account and delete my Microsoft account. I can access Onedive with my Ubuntu OS, it's ok (thanks to the rclone utility), but it offers 1Tb when Infomaniak offers 2 Tb (and it doesn't exploit my metadatas and doesn't try to place ads and services I don't care...).
