I am trying to slowly peel away from Google and my next task is Google Calendar. I currently have a couple shared calendars with other people and I’m not going to be able to break them free from Google quite yet. I have a next cloud server I was hoping to set up to be my primary source but I need to be able to interact with the shared calendars as well. Can I create a group calendar and have other persons, Google Calendar sync to it?

I’m not married to Next Cloud. It was just what I have available. I can do a different setup if that would work better.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

    Unfortunately, all the calendar solutions seem to be pretty terrible in one way or another. Your NextCloud server along with DAVx⁵ on Android is the most functional private alternative, IMO.

    The setup still sometimes has some of the same issues that all calendars seem to have (even Google’s and Apple’s): occasional sync issues, or old deleted appointments that mysteriously show up again, or calendars duplicating themselves.

    I don’t know why calendaring seems to be one of those things that just never really got done well, it seems like it should be a solved problem by now.
