Sync Google Calendar (mobile app) via kSync (CalDAV)

This guide explains how to manage a calendar and its events within the mobile app Google Calendar (app for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet) and/or the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar) while keeping all data fully synchronized thanks to the mobile app Infomaniak kSync (app for Android smartphone or tablet).

 

Preamble

  • Refer to this other guide if you only want to display a read-only Infomaniak calendar on Google Calendar (web & mobile app).
    • The reverse is also possible if you only want to display a read-only Google calendar on the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/calendar).
  • The procedure below allows you to edit the calendar events on both sides but only on the mobile version of the Google Calendar app.
  • The various services offered by Infomaniak are all compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (CalDAV/CardDAV for contacts & calendars, for example), therefore if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak TOS.
