we have a hosted nextcloud that we use for collaboration. I understand that it’s not easy to have a two-way sync to a google calendar, but I would like to at least see the nextcloud calendar in my google calendar. From the calendar settings in nextcloud I tried both URLs, the private one and the one you get when clicking the plus button. I also created a fresh entry in the nextcloud calendar, but in my google calendar nothing shows up… am I doing something wrong?
Hey Tautau, i have prototyped a two-way sync for Microsoft Outlook <> all inkl. calendar (german host provider) and the first results were very good. I will provide the code on my github repo in the next weeks.
unfortunately (or better luckily? ) in this case there’s no Outlook involved (for google ←> Outlook I have a working solution, I think it’s called caldavsync or so)
because I sit all day in front of my google calendar, while I usually only go to the nextcloud calendar when I need it for the collaboration thing. So it’s for visibility, the same reason I sync my work calendar to my google calendar
I thought so. But You can use both Calendars (Google and NC) in one Android Calendar App ond your Android devices and also on your PC (in my case with Thunderbird).
So there is no need to have all entries twice since they are visible in the apps at the same time and highlighted in differen colors.
I think you’re confusing “calendar” with “calendar app”.
A calendar app can combine many separate calendars (work, private, holidays, birthdays, travel, etc.). That’s why calendars should stay separate — you can toggle them on/off and keep a clean overview.
What you want is: see your Nextcloud calendar inside the Google Calendar app because you work in that app all day.
Unfortunately, the Google Calendar app can’t add CalDAV accounts directly. It’s designed mainly for Google accounts.
Workarounds:
• Android: Use DAVx⁵ to sync your Nextcloud (CalDAV) calendars into Android’s calendar storage. Then enable those calendars inside the Google Calendar app (Settings → Manage accounts / Non-Google accounts → enable the DAVx⁵ account). After that, your Nextcloud calendars show up alongside your Google calendars in the Google Calendar app — without uploading the data to Google.
• iOS: Add both accounts (Google + Nextcloud CalDAV) to iOS and use Apple Calendar as the unified view (it can display and edit calendars from both ecosystems).
