Why can't I import an ICS file on the Google Calendar mobile app?

Importing files and adding calendars by URL are computer-only features in Google Calendar — the Import & export and From URL options don't exist in the iOS or Android app. To add an .ics file, open calendar.google.com on a computer and use Settings, then Import & export. If you only have a phone, email the file to yourself and import it later on a desktop.

What's the difference between importing an ICS file and subscribing to an ICS URL?

Importing copies the events into your calendar once as a static, editable snapshot — later changes to the source won't appear. Subscribing via From URL creates a live, read-only feed that Google refreshes periodically, so updates to the source calendar sync to yours automatically. Use import for one-off events you want to own, and subscribe for schedules that keep changing.

What is the file size limit for importing ICS files into Google Calendar?

Google Calendar limits imports to 1 MB per file. If your .ics is larger or fails to process, split it into smaller files or regenerate it with a tool that produces clean, compliant output. Note that guests and conference data are also dropped during import regardless of file size.

Why are my imported events showing at the wrong time?

This usually means the .ics file lacks proper time-zone (TZID) data, so Google places the events in UTC or your default zone. Regenerate the file with correct per-event time-zone information, or adjust the events manually after import. A well-formed ICS generator includes the right TZID fields automatically.

Can I import an ICS file into a specific Google Calendar instead of my main one?

Yes. On the Import & export screen, after selecting your file, use the Add to calendar dropdown to choose any calendar you own as the destination before clicking Import. By default events go to your primary calendar, but you can redirect them to any writable calendar in your account.

Slik legger du til ICS i Google Calendar

For å legge en ICS-fil til Google Calendar åpner du Google Calendar på en datamaskin, klikker tannhjulet Settings, velger Import & export, klikker Select file from your computer, velger .ics-filen og importerer den til ønsket kalender.

Import av ICS-fil

Import passer når du har en engangsfil fra et arrangement, en booking eller en nedlasting. Hendelsene kopieres inn i kalenderen din. Hvis den opprinnelige filen endres senere, oppdateres ikke kopiene automatisk.

Abonner på ICS-lenke

Har du en URL som slutter på .ics, kan du i stedet gå til Other calendars > From URL og lime inn lenken. Da abonnerer Google Calendar på feeden og kan hente oppdateringer senere.

Import eller abonnement?

Bruk import for enkeltstående hendelser. Bruk abonnement for kalendere som kan endres, for eksempel skolekalendere, idrettsterminer eller offentlige planleggingsfeeds.

Feilsøking

Hvis importen mislykkes, kontroller at filen virkelig er en gyldig .ics-fil, at datoene har riktig format, og at kalenderen du importerer til, finnes i kontoen din.
