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

    The email to yourself workaround worked for me. How silly. ****!!!??? Why is there no IMPORT ICS function on the new outlook calendar? There's no FILE option. Nothing. Who the heck designs this stuff?

    I would like to see this marked as the top reply - this fix worked for me while the others did not. Thank you!

    This worked for me, but then I find these meetings do not sync to the Yahoo calendar, they are only local to the device running new Outlook. I've checked and other meetings I create manually in Outlook are synched. Weird

    I hear you! Thank you for the workaround of emailing the ics file to yourself, for it was helpful. But this really needs to be fixed my Microsoft. Terribly annoying. Thank you!
