Sync Google Calendar (mobile app) via kSync (CalDAV)
This guide explains how to manage a calendar and its events within the mobile app Google Agenda (app for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet) and/or the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com) 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 an Infomaniak calendar as read-only on Google Agenda (web & mobile app).
- The reverse is also possible if you only want to display a Google calendar as read-only on the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com).
- The procedure below allows you to edit the calendar events on both sides but only on the mobile version of the Google Agenda app.
⚠️ All the services offered by Infomaniak are compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (notably IMAP/SMTP for email, WebDAV for sharing, S3/Swift for storage, etc.). Therefore, if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.
