Synchronizing Calendar with Your Mobile Device

Calendar offers CalDAV support for iPhones®, iPads®, and Apple Mac OSX iCal®. CalDAV lets you synchronize your personal Calendar with devices and applications easily. You can also use Calendar with your iPhone by importing, exporting, or subscribing to calendars. For more information, see Importing, Exporting, and Subscribing to Calendars.

For Android® devices, you need to synch with the Google® Calendar associated with the Gmail® address that your Android device is using. Before synchronizing, you must first publish and subscribe to your Calendar.

Using CalDAV does not synchronize group Calendars or event/task attachments.
