Remote work is now the norm for many teams. But using Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 means storing all your communications and files on American servers. Infomaniak's kSuite offers a complete and sovereign alternative — here's how to get the most out of it.

| Video conferencing | kMeet | Zoom / Google Meet / Teams |
| Team messaging | kChat | Slack / Teams |
| Shared storage | kDrive | Google Drive / OneDrive |
| Collaborative docs | OnlyOffice (in kDrive) | Google Docs / Office 365 |
| Shared calendar | Infomaniak Calendar | Google Calendar / Outlook |
| AI assistant | Eur IA | Gemini / Copilot |
Setting Up for a Remote Team
1. Create User Accounts
- Admin creates accounts from the Infomaniak Manager
- Each user receives an invitation by email
- Mandatory 2FA setup is recommended for security
- Role assignment (admin, editor, viewer) based on responsibilities
2. Organise kDrive for Team Work
- Create a clear folder structure (Projects, Clients, Resources, Archives)
- Share folders with the right teams and the right permissions
- Establish file naming conventions from the start
- Use versioning to avoid edit conflicts
3. Set Up kChat Channels
- #general – Announcements for the whole team
- #project-[name] – One channel per project or client
- #it-support – Technical issues
- #random – Informal discussions (important for cohesion)
- Direct messages – For 1-to-1 exchanges
4. Use kMeet for Meetings
- Permanent links – Create a fixed room for recurring meetings
- Shared agenda – Via kDrive before each meeting
- Screen sharing – For demos and presentations
- Whiteboard – For brainstorming sessions
