Infomaniak KSuite.
Infomaniak KSuite.
I currently have all my emails with Mailbox.org and I've just moved my websites to Infomaniak, I'm thinking of moving my emails there too. I noted that they also have a product called KSuite which looks like a G Suite / Office 365 Online alternative. Does anyone have any experience of using it? Or are there better solutions out there? Thanks in advance.
They build on onlyoffice for the office tools and use parts of nextcloud foe the desktop sync xlient but also add custom functions. I used it briefly and it looked nice, but I have my own nextcloud server with onlyoffice, so I had no need.
I thibk they offer a free trial right? Just try it out
6Thanks thisfro, I've signed up for KSuite standard for myself to try things out. If all good I'll likely up the subscription to a Pro one for the extra KDrive space.

I have been using Infomaniak services for a few years now. I have my email with them, several domains and use Kdrive almost exclusively these days. Talking about Kdrive specifically, it is fast and has all the typical features you would expect from these types of services. The cloud side with the office integration is really good too.
If anything, the only negative I can find at the moment is that the app does not offer a lite mode (download as you need) feature for Linux so you have to download everything. That said, it does offer a WebDav feature which integrates well.
As for the kSuite, I would say you only need that if you are using it for business. Otherwise the solo or family package would suffice. I have kSuite too and it has some additional features but nothing you would need as an individual.
5Not being able to be selective in what I download from KDrive isn't the end of the world, I can live with that. My bigger problem is how I get the files from Onedrive to KDrive. Uploading them from my home would take months as my connection is pretty poor. I can't see a way of transferring the files directly, but I'll do more digging.
In terms of the family package, I couldn't find this at all. Do they definitely still do it or am i just blind? I ended up signing up for KSuite standard package for now to test things out but its probably overkill for what I need.
1Hi, my bad on the 'family' reference. It is the 'teams' package that I use, I just use it for my family. Like I mentioned before though, it is far more cost effective than the kSuite, which is targeted at businesses.
As for the transferring for data, this is possible via a feature in kDrive. It is capable of transferring from a number of cloud storage services, including OneDrive. You can get more info on that here: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/support/faq/2406/import-external-data-to-kdrive
I still have my OneDrive at the moment but aim to close this down. I use my Synology to synchronise the data between kDrive, OneDrive and my Synology for data safety. (Yes, this is overkill) I will eventually remove OneDrive from that as I get a better home cloud setup in place.

I work for a small 2 people company, we recently switched to Infomaniak and there are a couple of things that need improvement, mainly the support for a better lite mode in Linux: they provide a WebDav connection but it's a bit slow, even if workable.
On the positive side, we got also a custom domain for the mail box and website that was quite cheap and easy to set up. And the fact that's all FOSS is great2I have also been searching for that info! KSuite/drive feedback
