Cannot import .ics file into Outlook (new) app

Hi,

I am having several problems with my outlook (new) app.

  1. I cannot import .ics files into the app as no calendar is available in the "Upload from file" window. I have verified that Outlook (new) is the default for .ics files.
  2. I cannot sync my Outlook app calendar on my laptop with my Calendar app on my Iphone 10. I get an error message when I try to sync it via Icloud.

PS: I am using a gmail account for my outlook.

Any suggestions?

Best, Finn

    Right. How does an organization like Microsoft go backwards in functionality. So disconnected to the real world. Developers developing in a siloed box. It is so frustrating that something that was so simple is now requiring work arounds. I have been using the ics file for I don't even know how long.

    It's been a year since these posts, and Microsoft still hasn't restored by ability to use .ics files to add appointments to my calendar. It worked fine before. Opening .ics files worked seamlesslessly to my Outlook calendar. Please fix this. I feel like I need to go back to a paper calendar.

    No funciona, a mi solo me funciona abriendo Google Calendar y agregar el Arch .ics, entonces Outlook (New) lo importará y aparecerá, de momento no funciona ninguna otra manera, igual Microsoft en su infinita sabiduría consigue que haciendo doble click en el Arch .ics se ejecute y quede instalado en el calendario Outlook (New) como he estado haciendo en correo y calendario para Windows 10, de momento NO HAY OTRA FORMA PARA INSTALACION DE .ics
