Drive ID: You can optionally specify a Drive ID (a number) if you have multiple drives. If left blank, AeroFTP will automatically connect to your default primary drive.

WARNING

Read-only Root and Base Directories Infomaniak kDrive has strict API restrictions on where files can be uploaded. You cannot upload files directly to the root directory (/), nor can you upload files directly into the base category folders (e.g., /Common documents or /Private). If you try, you will receive an error: "Only directory can be created here".

Solution: You must first create a custom folder inside one of the base categories (e.g., /Common documents/MyUploads) and upload your files into that subfolder.

Features

• Drive Selection: If your account has multiple kDrives, AeroFTP uses the primary drive by default.
• Cursor-Based Pagination: Large directories are loaded efficiently using cursor pagination.
• Trash Management: Deleted files go to the kDrive trash and can be restored.
• File Versioning: kDrive retains previous versions of files. View and restore versions through AeroFTP.
• Share Links: Create shareable links for files and folders.
• Storage Quota: Used and total storage displayed in the status bar.
