@lakotaubp Thank you so much! That was the "get out of jail free card" tip that allowed me to make it work.

NOTE: for anybody following. First set up your Gmail account in Settings. Then click the > arrow and that gives you two slider buttons which allows you to sync either/or or both the Contacts and the Calender.

Probably this is already answered already 🙂

@lakotaubp thank you!! worked like a charm

@jcmarvillet
My advice, don't rely on a company to maintain something for us (Ubuntu Touch users).
What I would do:

manually export my calendar from google import it into a nexcloud account then sync nextcloud with UT

Nextcloud will remain and if you're using service by some company and not your own instance then don't forget to backup your data 😉

Nextcloud will be maintained as Google may decide to block any third party... They are already pushing in this direction.

That thread is full of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) over an incident from 2015 when there was an integration (now removed, in a desktop environment that is no longer used) that would allow you to search amazon store from your desktop.

Ubuntu is just as trustworthy as any other major linux distro.

Thank you so much for this question!

@UniSuperBox
Thank you so much for removing ReCaptcha!

I read here since more than 6 months but when I saw ReCaptcha I did abort the registration at the forum. ReCaptcha is really terrible and I also try to avoid Google services. I am still not happy about Akismet but willing to accept it which is the reason why I did now finish the registration.

It is very exiting and awesome to see what happens at UBports to get the choice not to use Android or IOS and get back some privacy.

@Lakotaubp Ah, i thought only google contacts import was available.
Thanks for the help!
