#ADD SOMEONES CALENDAR ON BUSYCAL HOW TO#
Now every time I go share the link or somebody asks me how to do this, I’ll be honest, I have to re-read the staff and then end up looking for answers on Google. I remember done the sharing 10 years ago the page was simple. I guess Google didn’t want to take the legal responsibility for the consequences and doesn’t offer “hide from search engines” because it may not keep the page away from search engines.Īnyhow, the sharing page is crazy complicated and it could be simplified into a one pager. However, we all know this option may not work if some non-Google search engines ignore the setting and still index the calendar. I suspect Google could put there a check box to suppress the likelihood of being discovered on Google (Hide from search engines). The only time this option makes sense if you really want anybody find your calendar and update. This option is dangerous because it makes all details of your calendar searchable on Google (and even editable by anybody). Those options are not available when sharing the iCal link with 3rd party outside Google.īy all means – never enable the “Make available to public” checkbox. Probably the reason why Google decided this to work in separate ways is because if the calendar is shared with another Google user, the sharing option ads choice to see busy info only/view / edit etc. The last step to request permission can be avoided instead by giving the permission right away: The message saying I need to ask the owner of the calendar to give me access.Īpproving this will give access to the calendar and the calendar can be shared.

Now copying this and pasting into any 3rd party online calendar e.g. I have copied the the secret address in iCal format. The secret ical link is accessible only to 3rd party clients but not to google calendar. It went through a couple of iterations and they still can’t get it simple enough for people to avoid spending time to study the whole page and then still searching for answers on the web. Hi Raymond, Google calendar page is confusing, it’s probably the worst page on Google created by Google. Now you can finally follow the steps above to get the iCal file you want. Once you are logged-in, on the bottom you can switch from Mobile to ‘Desktop’-mode. I personally use Google Chrome on an iPhone. This is as simple as tapping in the bottom right hand corner and opening a new incognito tab, or private on safari. But for now you should avoid this by using the incognito mode on your browser. If your phone is as clever as mine, then it probably just opens the app as soon as you type in the address bar. You need to access your calendar from within a Browser instead. In order to get the secret iCal address on a mobile device, you should not open the app. Hopefully Google will make this possible in the near future! There still is a way to do so, but it is a little annoying. How to get the secret address in iCal format on a phone or tabletĪt the time of writing this blog, it is not possible to get the secret iCal address from within the Google Calendar App. The address is quite long, so make sure to copy the whole line.
