Integrating ONLYOFFICE with kDrive

Connect your kDrive account to ONLYOFFICE

1. Enter your portal.
2. Click the Documents link on the start page.
3. In the opened 'Documents' module, click the kDrive icon under the 'Connect' caption at the left sidebar.

   

   Or, go to the 'Settings' section at the left sidebar, choose 'Connected clouds' option and click the Connect cloud button.

4. Specify the connection URL, your user name and password and click Save to connect your kDrive account. Your kDrive documents will be shown in ONLYOFFICE documents as a folder.
5. Change the folder‘s name if necessary.
6. If you want the kDrive documents to be visible for anyone, click on the Make shared checkbox and put into the Common Documents folder. If not checked, your kDrive account will only be visible to you.
   This step is not available while working in ONLYOFFICE Personal.
7. Click Save.

Here they are! Your documents will be available in the specified folder in the 'Documents' module of your portal. Now you can:

• edit the data stored at kDrive right in Online Editors without any additional downloads,
• share the files from the connected clouds with your colleagues,
• move them between the accounts,
• download resource folders to any other location.

Helpful Hints

How can I edit my kDrive documents

1. Locate the kDrive folder and open it.
2. Browse to the file you want to edit and click it.
   If necessary, a dialog will tell you that the document will be converted to the OpenOffice XML format for faster viewing and editing.
   You can choose to keep the original file as well, by checking the Save the file copy in the original format as well box.
3. Click Convert.
4. Click Open when the message appears that your document is successfully converted.

Now you can edit your document (if editable). After editing, you can simply close the document and the changes will be saved.

Can I place the files from another resource to any section within Documents?

If you don't have administrator rights for the Documents module, all the documents from another resource will be put into the 'My documents' section.

Being an administrator (with full access or within the Documents section only), you can place the files to the 'Common' section checking the Make shared and put into the 'Common' folder box. In case this box remains unchecked, the files will be placed to the 'My documents' section.

Can I remove the added resource from the online office without deleting the data itself?

You can do it by clicking the icon and selecting the 'Disconnect third party' option in the menu. The documents will be still available at your kDrive account.

What should I bear in mind deleting a document from the resource folder?

If you decide to delete a document from the resource folder, it will be also deleted from your kDrive account. Besides this file won’t be placed to the 'Trash' section of the 'Documents' module, i.e. the removal will be irreversible.
