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.

    This worked. I found it just before I saw this and was looking to see if anyone else had shares it. I can confirm this works and yes.. Microsoft, tighten up folks.

    I tried this, and as with other solutions, I get the same "Couldn't import calendar. Try again" message.

    Swing and a miss (sigh).
