This guide explains how to manage a calendar and its events within the mobile app Google Agenda (app for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet) and/or the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com) while keeping all data fully synchronized thanks to the mobile app Infomaniak kSync (app for Android smartphone or tablet).
Preamble
- Refer to this other guide if you only want to display an Infomaniak calendar as read-only on Google Agenda (web & mobile app).
- The reverse is also possible if you only want to display a Google calendar as read-only on the web app Calendar Infomaniak (online service calendar.infomaniak.com).
