| 1447267 | 2018-03-12 01:56:00 | What are the options to sync a calendar across several devices Win7, Win10, Android ? assuming the dont have exchange Google calendar seems an easy option. Im not sure how well that will work on ithings , since ithings cant change default apps would icloud be an option for syncing calender's ? I couldnt see a official Google Cal Android app, just 3rd party app's . Is there an official Google cal app for Android ? |

| 1447268 | 2018-03-12 01:58:00 | Google Calendar works great as long as you're happy to have a web browser open on your PC. Pretty sure the calendar will sync right in with iOS but you'd want to confirm that 100%. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1447269 | 2018-03-12 02:10:00 | I use Google calendar syncing on Android phone, IPad and 2 Windows 10 laptops (in Outlook 365). Works just fine - I use the phone for entering events and the other devices sync within a minute or two.. | ninox (17264) | ||
| 1447270 | 2018-03-12 03:25:00 | Microsoft calender works well. Use it on all the devices here as well as laptops. There's the inbuilt in W10, there's apps for Android, IOS. One of the businesses I look after use it on all the devices in conjunction with Office 365, they can also include other peoples calenders if they want so they can make sure appointments don't cross clash. They did try goggle, but for some reason it spat the dummy often and didn't work with multi calenders. Not to sure about W7 unless you were to use a browser and log into outlook.com. |

| 1447271 | 2018-03-12 05:44:00 | There is a standard for shared calendars (CalDAV) which all devices should support (Android & iThings & a plugin for Outlook). You can host your own server to sync with your devices if you don't fancy being a data source for the surveillance economy, in quite a few ways (DaviCAL, Own/NextCloud, Kolab etc). |

| 1447273 | 2018-03-12 22:21:00 | Still lookin :annoyed: Google cal on PC (Win7) has no offline mode, so thats a no go . Needs to be usable on a laptop when there is no intenet (eg on a plane, in the car) Also no nice PC app for google Cal. It can be setup on some 3rd party cal apps, but its not a full sync, ie cant edit or add events via some apps, just veiw only Next step : see how well google cal integrates with outlook. If that works in off line mode we may have a winner. If it was ONLY Win10 & phones , then I'd use MS's win10 cal app . |

| 1447274 | 2018-03-12 22:53:00 | You would need a third party sync app for Google Calendar to work with Outlook. Google used to make their own app available free, which worked great, but now it's only available for G Suite users. There are various other tools around, most of the ones I've tried are pretty terrible, and not free. There is one I know of a few people using, think it's called Sync2 or something like that. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1447275 | 2018-03-12 23:49:00 | I used sync 2 for a while it worked until they did some upgrades, then they wanted you to pay for it again. That's why I now use Tbird with its free plugin | gary67 (56) | ||
