Step 2: Import events into Google Calendar

After you've exported your events, you can import them into Google Calendar.

1. Open Google Calendar on a computer. Note: You can only import from a computer, not a phone or tablet.
2. In the top right, click Settings  > Settings.
3. Open the Calendars tab.
4. Click Import calendars between the "My calendars" and "Other Calendars" sections.
5. Click Choose File and select the file you exported. The file should end in "ics" or "csv"
6. Choose which calendar to add the imported events to. By default, events will be imported into your primary calendar.
7. Click Import.

If you're using a ZIP file, find it on your computer and open it. You'll see ICS files for each of your calendars. Take the individual files out of the ZIP file, and import each ICS file individually.

Note: Repeating events might not show up that way if you import them from a CSV file, but they'll be on your calendar as a series of one-time events.

Advanced: Create or edit CSV or iCal files before importing

You can share your calendar with family and friends. 

How sharing works

Here are a couple examples of what you can do with sharing:

• Share your main calendar with someone so they can see your schedule.

• Create a new calendar that multiple people can edit, like a "Hiking" calendar that everyone in a hiking group adds events to.

When you add someone to your calendar, you can decide how they see your events and whether they can also make changes like adding or editing events.

Share your calendar

In Google Calendar, you can have multiple calendars that you add events to. Each calendar can have different sharing settings.

Control what others can see

Troubleshooting

If the other person is having trouble seeing your calendar, try these steps:

1. Make sure you added the correct email address.
2. Remove the person from the calendar's sharing settings and then add them back. See the directions above.
3. Make sure they click the link in the email they received. They should check their Spam folder if they can't find it.
