Things You Should Know About Android ICS
You may securely and quickly move your calendar events between calendar apps and accounts using an ICS file. However, you must be using the desktop version of Android Google Calendar rather than the mobile app in order to effectively export from Google Calendar.
Additionally, if you don’t own the calendar you want to export, you must ensure the owner has granted you authority to make changes and manage sharing settings. Exporting won’t be feasible if the admin isn’t contacted.
How to Export Events from Google Calendar
You can export once the desktop program is launched and the appropriate permissions have been obtained.
- Under My Calendars on the left-hand menu, locate the calendar you want to export.
- Next to the calendar, select More from the drop-down menu.
- Select Sharing and Settings.
- Click Calendar Export.
Exporting All Events From a Single Calendar
Your ICS file will start downloading, usually contained in a ZIP folder with compression. When the download is complete, look for it in the Downloads folder of your browser. Unzip it there to access the ICS file.
How to Export Multiple Calendars From Google Calendars
By following these procedures, you can export many calendars as one ZIP file:
- In the top right corner of the screen, click the Settings option.
- In the options menu on the left, select Import & export.
- Select Export from the menu.
- Exporting all Google Calendar events and calendars
- Find the ZIP file in your Downloads area and unzip it after the download is finished. You can find a different ICS file for each calendar in the unzipped folder.
Tips on How to Migrate Calendars Quickly
Your calendar events can now be transferred to another Google account or another platform. If you’re considering switching, see if any of the alternative calendar programs available match your needs.
