If you're an iPhone user, it's likely you use iCloud to manage your calendar. However, if you also use Google Calendar, it can be difficult to keep track of events across both platforms. Fortunately, there's a way to sync your iCloud calendar with Google Calendar. In this article, we'll show you how to add iCloud calendar to Google Calendar in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Export iCloud Calendar
The first step is to export your iCloud calendar. This will create a file that you can import into Google Calendar. Here's how to do it:
- Open the Calendar app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on the calendar you want to export.
- Tap on the "Share" icon.
- Select "Export Calendar".
- Choose a location to save the file.
This will create a .ics file that contains all of your calendar events for the selected calendar.
Step 2: Import iCloud Calendar to Google Calendar
Once you have exported your iCloud calendar, you can import it into Google Calendar. Here's how to do it:
- Open Google Calendar on your computer.
- Click on the settings icon.
- Select "Settings".
- Click on the "Import & Export" tab.
- Click on "Select file from your computer" and choose the .ics file you exported from iCloud.
- Select which calendar you want to import the events to.
- Click on "Import".
This will import all of your calendar events from iCloud to Google Calendar. You can now view your iCloud events alongside your Google Calendar events.
Question and Answer
Q: Do I need to export my iCloud calendar every time I want to sync it with Google Calendar?
A: No, you only need to export your iCloud calendar once. After that, you can import the .ics file into Google Calendar as many times as you like. However, if you add new events to your iCloud calendar, you will need to export it again and import the updated file into Google Calendar.
Q: Can I choose which events to import from iCloud to Google Calendar?
A: No, when you import an .ics file into Google Calendar, it will import all of the events from that file. If you only want to import specific events, you will need to manually add them to Google Calendar.
Q: Will changes made to events in iCloud be reflected in Google Calendar?
A: Yes, any changes you make to events in your iCloud calendar will be reflected in Google Calendar after you import the updated .ics file.
Conclusion
Syncing your iCloud calendar with Google Calendar can save you time and ensure you never miss an event. By following the above steps, you can easily add your iCloud calendar to Google Calendar and view all of your events in one place. Remember to export your iCloud calendar every time you make changes to ensure you have the most up-to-date events in Google Calendar.
