No versioning for kDrive using WebDav

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hello everyone and happy new year!

I set up a cloud (kDrive by infomaniak) on my computer (Windows 11) using rclone and WebDav.
Everything works fine, but unfortunately I no longer have versioning. It seems to me that rclone replaces the document I'm accessing instead of creating a new version. When I access the kDrive online client, I don't see any version history.

kDrive support confirmed that the documents were overwritten and that this behavior must come from rclone (for which they don't provide support).

I also tried with --vfs-cache-mode full but without more success.
I'm running the command from a .bat file.

Any ideas on how to change this so that versioning works again?

Thank you in advance for your help. Please bear in mind that I'm new to rclone and windows commands.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.68.2

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.22631.4602 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.23.3
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

kDrive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

"C:\Program Files\rclone\rclone.exe" mount "kDrive WebDav:" K: --network-mode --vfs-cache-mode writes

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

C:\Program Files\rclone>rclone config redacted
[kDrive WebDav]
type = webdav
url = https://XXXXXX.connect.kdrive.infomaniak.com/
vendor = other
user = XXX
pass = XXX

they support versioning.

WebDAV does not support any versioning.

you access kDrive using WebDAV hence no versioning available.

Not much rclone can help here.

Looks like they have some native API. Possibly versioning is available when using it. You have to integrate it into rclone as a new remote or ask somebody to do it for you.

Thank you for your answer.

I saw other posts about google drive where rclone was creating a new file every time it was modify and therfore interpreted by gDrive as versioning. I had hope this would be the same with WebDav.

Well I will have to think this over. Thanks anyway !
