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

    Since I was using a gmail backed account I used calendar.google.com, "other calendars", "+", "import", "select file from your computer"

    It then showed up in Outlook (new)

    Legend. How do we get this post promoted to actually being the answer to this question rather than at the bottom of the page?

    Thank you TheThirdSpy, Your work around worked, more than a year later and Microsoft has done nothing to fix this bug.

    I have the same issue with new outlook. An 8-step tedious workaround is not something I'll bother with. Guess I'll just migrate away from Outlook if something like this takes over one year to sort out for Microsoft.

    Thank you for the workaround @TheThirdSpy! Almost a year later and this still hasn't been fixed. Can someone from Microsoft please comment on when this basic feature of Outlook will be fixed?
