Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On Linux there's no simple way of updating the app. Sometimes there's a pop-up that a new version is available and then I have to: quit the kDrive app, search for the Infomaniak website, download the AppImage, save it over the existing one (so that my .desktop file for the Autostart keeps working), and mark it as executable.

Describe the solution you'd like to implement
There are tools like Gear Lever which make AppImages more integrated into the desktop. It also has a feature where it can automatically find updates for Github repos. However, while you're currently tagging releases, they only contain the source code but no binaries (e.g. AppImage for Linux, .exe/.dmg for Windows/MacOS). So I think adding the binaries to Github releases would be a very simple solution that would make it easier to keep the app updated.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An auto-update function for Linux, like it already exists for Windows and MacOS. I think there's already a feature request for it.
