Add calendars from MS Outlook / Office 365 #18

Open jaredAU opened 4 years ago

jaredAU commented 4 years ago

Note: more feature request than issue but unsure how else to report

I am forced to use o365 accounts for work and would love to integrate these with personal Google calendars for an integrated view.

I am currently unable to add any non-Google accounts to the calendar list in the widget.

Would it be possible to include other accounts to add to the widget?

Thanks for your help

Have you tried Davx5 sync? I use it to sync my nextcloud' s instances calendars withouth hassle

jaredAU commented 4 years ago

I had a quick look at Davx5 and not sure how it solves the problem. I can sync all my o365 information to my phone and do so with other apps.

What is not working is selecting those calendars in this app's settings to display all the calendars in one place. I like the functions and layout of this app so was hoping I could get it to work.

You can add your MS365 account in Androids built in account section or under the Google/Default calendar app. This will allow you to select your 365 account in any app in the future. You'll need your app password or generate a new one on the MS365 website in a normal browser. Make sure you don't sync your contacts if you also have Outlook for Android... you'll end up with duplicates.

*You'll need to add it as an Exchange account. Server will be outlook.office365.com

Thanks @nihilisticmystic - I tried that and apparently the authentication method my workplace uses isn't supported via the gmail app.

It sounds like it's an issue with my workplace M365 rather than this app.

Do you have the option for App Passwords(guide below)? If you do have it then your issue may be that in some cases you use the app password in the place of the account password depending on how the admin set it up. If the option is missing then your options would be:

Thanks for the thought, unfortunately my workplace uses a third party single sign on and I tried to share the calendar but apparently that's shut down as well.

Sounding more and more like my problem than the app's problem.
