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

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

    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!!

    I click on Open and nothing happens. I can only see the file saved to a folder. Do I need to do something BEFORE I click on Open? This is such a piece of @#%$! I don't understand why Microsoft didn't have a simple import of calendar invitations. What a cluster...

    Please HELP!

    Thank you,

    Laura

    LOL Microsoft could not give a **** about customers. in my opinion care little about you. The fact they forced you to lose a perfectly good calendar tool and gave you a non- functioning piece of **** should tell they don’t care. Heck this forum isn’t even monitored by microcrap people who could help us.

    Yeah I know.. sucks really! My only work around was to open the download with classic outlook, via opening with app option to see the other outlook listed there and open it.
