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

    I don't know what version of the Outlook app you are using, but I don't have the option to "Upload from file".

    You do realize that there is no "File" menu in the NEW Outlook, right?

    This also worked for me! I did notice that if you have your calendar open first and then double click the .ics from windows file explorer/download folder, it will automatically open the 'Add calendar - upload from file' window and will populate the .ics file. Then you simply need to select a calendar and select import.

    The easiest solution to this I've found is as follows:

    • When you need to import a .ics file, don't use the desktop outlook client.
    • If you go to the web client and switch to the calendar portion, you can then simply drag and drop the .ics file into the calendar portion of the pane (it will turn blue and have a "Drop .ics files here" graphic come up:
    • After drag and drop it opens the dialog for import and you can select a calendar from that drop down as you would expect it to function.

    Hope that helps!
