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

This is what worked. Not right-clicking on the .ics file and selecting "open with", that did nothing. Emailing myself would have probably worked, but this is not a solution, but a workaround. Ok, this is also a workaround, but at least it uses the intended functionality. The strange thing is that it says "Add calendar" which is not what I want to do, I just want to Add an appointment.

Same for me .... The first post is from January and we are just in October ! What the efficiency here ;-)

I don't know what version of the Outlook app you are using, but I don't have the option to "Upload from file".

You do realize that there is no "File" menu in the NEW Outlook, right?

This also worked for me! I did notice that if you have your calendar open first and then double click the .ics from windows file explorer/download folder, it will automatically open the 'Add calendar - upload from file' window and will populate the .ics file. Then you simply need to select a calendar and select import.

Cannot import .ics file into Outlook (new) app

Hi,

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

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.
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
