Integrating ONLYOFFICE with kDrive
Connect your kDrive account to edit documents stored in kDrive directly from the Documents portal module.
Connecting kDrive to ONLYOFFICE
A full-access administrator or the Documents module administrator must enable the Allow users to connect third-party storages toggle in the Admin Settings section to allow portal users to connect third-party cloud storage.
To connect your kDrive account:
- Go to the Documents module.
- In the left sidebar, click the three dots
under the Connect section and select kDrive in the Connecting account window, or go to Settings > Connected clouds and click Connect cloud.
- Enter your username and password, then click Save. Your kDrive documents will appear in the Documents module as a folder.
- Change the folder name if necessary.
- To make kDrive documents visible to all portal users, select the Make shared checkbox to place them in the Common Documents folder. If left deselected, the kDrive account will be visible to you only.
- Click Save.
Editing kDrive documents
To edit a document stored in kDrive:
- Locate the kDrive folder in the Documents module and open it.
- Browse to the file you want to edit and click it. If necessary, a dialog will prompt you to convert the document to the OpenOffice XML format for faster viewing and editing. To keep the original file, check the Save the file copy in the original format as well box.
- Click Convert.
- Click Open when the message appears that the document has been successfully converted.
After editing, close the document to save the changes.
If you delete a document from the kDrive folder, it will also be deleted from your kDrive account. The file will not be placed in the Trash section of the Documents module — the deletion is irreversible.
