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

    Thanks Simon Ss_023...that worked perfectly. And ever SOOOO much more efficient than the Classic Outlook where one simply had to click on the event to add it to the calendar. And it's not exactly intuitive! Another masterful stroke by Microsoft :-/ UGH!!

    Wow, in prior versions all you had to do was click on it. Great solution Microsoft!

    I discovered the solution (as at April 2025):

    1. Click "Add Calendar" in the Calendar window
    2. Click "Upload from File"
    3. Browse to your ICS file and "open"
    4. Select a calendar to import to
    5. Click "import". You'll get a confirmation at the bottom of the screen.

    They need to change the wording here. You would think this screen just adds calendars, not calendar items.

    Nothing new here. Still doesn't work for me. I'm glad to hear it's working for someone.
