Sync contacts and calendar with microG #2569

Open Vavun opened 1 week ago

Vavun commented 1 week ago

Hi

Are there any plans to create Google contacts and calendar sync analogs/providers in microg ? Or other ways to sync contacts and events directly with Google without third-party applications and services like webdav

Currently users are forced to use Google components (com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts and com.google.android.syncadapters.calendarfor) in order to have full synchronization capabilities.

This is inconvenient for several reasons: Lack of much-needed functionality by default You need to install proprietary components Most often, you can’t just install these apks; you need additional actions and the selection of a suitable version of sync provider for your Android.

I'm not sure about the plans, but about calendar there is an alternative: if you install Google Calendar (even without using it) then sync will start working even in other calendar apps.

For DAV: you do not need proprietary components. The FOSS DAVx5, which is available on F-Droid, seems to support Google accounts.

I know about different hacks and third-party apps, I wonder if this is planned in microG itself.
