Want to share a calendar with family, friends, or coworkers? Since aCalendar is not a cloud service and does not host your data on its own servers, calendar sharing is handled directly through your cloud provider (like Google or Microsoft). Here is how it works.

1

Cloud Sharing (Recommended)

To create a shared calendar where multiple people can view, add, or edit events, you must set it up through your cloud calendar provider's web interface. Once shared, aCalendar will automatically display it.

1

Google Calendar

Log in to Google Calendar on a web browser. Go to Settings → click on the calendar under Settings for my calendars → select Share with specific people and add their email addresses.

2

Microsoft / Outlook

Log in to Outlook on the web, navigate to the calendar section, right-click your calendar, select Sharing and permissions, and enter the person's email address.

Important Note: After someone accepts your calendar invitation, the shared calendar must be enabled for synchronization on their Android device. For Google Calendar users, they may need to check their sync settings via the Google Calendar sync dashboard or aCalendar's Manage Calendars menu. Also, please make sure the calendar is not hidden in a disabled profile.

2

Public / Read-Only Sharing (iCal)

If you only want other people to see your events without being able to edit them, you can share your calendar via an iCal link (ICS format):

Subscribing to a Link

You can subscribe to web-based iCal links (such as sports schedules, shift plans, or public events) directly through your Google/Outlook cloud account on a web browser. Once added to your account online, the feed will display in aCalendar.

Sharing Local Calendars

Because local calendars are stored completely offline inside your phone's internal memory, they lack cloud functionality and cannot be synchronized in real time with other users.

Alternative Method: If you must share a local calendar's content, you can manually export it as an `.ics` file or send single events via email/messaging. However, changes will not update automatically for the recipient.

Instead of sharing an entire calendar, you can also invite specific people to individual events. This feature is handled right within aCalendar:

Managing Attendees

When creating or editing an event in a cloud calendar, you can add attendees by typing their email addresses. Your cloud provider will then automatically send out invitation emails, and you can view their RSVP status directly inside aCalendar.
