- Click on Event Mapping Configuration.
- Check the box Use GlobalAppointmentID for UID attribute.

And on macOS?

This guide explains how to download and use the mobile app Infomaniak kSync for Android devices (Samsung, Huawei, Google Pixel, etc.).
Preamble
- Refer to this other guide for an example of how to use kSync: synchronizing an Infomaniak calendar with a Google agenda.
Set up kSync
Prerequisites
- Download the mobile app Infomaniak kSync (application for Android smartphone or tablet) from the Google Play Store.
- The kSync application is also available on F-droid.
- Install kSync.
Then:
- Open kSync from your Android device, a step-by-step assistant will help you configure the application according to your needs.
- Decide whether you want to synchronize tasks.
- Allow kSync to access the required items.
- Allow the application to run in the background for better synchronization (uses more battery).
Once the application is open and pre-configured:
- Press the button to open the window to connect to your Infomaniak user account:
- Enter your login information for the user account containing your Infomaniak calendar(s) to be synchronized with your Android device.
- Under the Address Books CARDDAV tab, select the address book(s) that should appear on your device.
- Under the Agendas CALDAV tab, select the calendar(s) that should display on your device.
- Start the synchronization with the button located at the bottom right.
Synchronization settings
After tapping the account to synchronize, click on the Settings icon at the top right of the interface to adjust some important settings:
- Synchronization interval: you have the possibility to modify the frequency of synchronizations (15, 30, 60 minutes, etc.) for each type of information (address books, calendars, tasks).
- WiFi synchronization only (and if so, with which networks...).
- Limit for displaying past events.
- Display of colors.
- Display of contact groups.
kSync General Settings
Tap the back arrow at the top left of the screen to return to the home page.
Press the three horizontal line menu button ☰ then Settings.
How synchronization works
Once the kSync app is configured, the selected items are automatically synchronized with the Contacts and Agenda apps, which are installed by default on an Android device.
These applications will allow you to display or hide the address books currently synchronized with Infomaniak:
Synchronization is bidirectional by default, which means that without any particular settings on your part (read below) the modifications made on your phone in these new address books and agendas will be reflected in your Infomaniak interface (Calendar and Contacts) and vice versa. You can add a contact to the address book currently synchronized with Infomaniak, same for an event on the calendar::
Once added on one side or the other, the information is synchronized at the set interval:
Do not allow modifications on the device
It is possible to force read-only via kSync which means that the items are synchronized but cannot be modified by the device.
To do this, on the settings page of the Infomaniak account of your choice, in the Address Books CARDDAV or Calendars CALDAV tab, press the action menu ⋮ to the right of the line of your synchronized items. Check the box "Force read only":
