Description

*** NOTE: Google Calendar's own ICS import functionality has been improved and may replace ICS to GCal for you: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r/settings/export *** Found an interesting event online that comes as an iCal file (*.ics) and want to import it into one of your Google calendars? With ICS to GCal this will take just two clicks - no need to open the Google Calendar settings and pollute your list of calendars. ICS to GCal correctly imports recurrent events (to the extent they are supported by Google Calendar) and automatically fixes some deviations from the iCalendar specification that are rather common (such as trailing commas in date lists, exceptional dates not specified with the correct time,...). How to use: 0. Before the first use, click on the extension symbol in the browser toolbar to allow access to you calendars. 1. Right-click on a link to an iCal file (*.ics). 2. Select a calendar under "Add to calendar". A popup notification will inform you about the number of events added and allow you to view the event or undo the changes while they have not been committed.

Simply did not work for me; seems like it can't work at all with links that prompt an .ics file download.

This extension did not work. It would also be helpful if you had written instruction on how to use it.

I just installed this extension and give it permissions. Nothing is happening when I click on ics calendar links

Instructions are very confusing. Extension is installed, and permissions given. NOW WHAT? Going through the normal Google Calendar import page still doesn't work because file is over 2MB

This was working fine until last week. It no longer works in Chrome. I have to open Firefox in order to import *.ICS files to my Google Calendar.

Works okay - most times when importing a calendar event to a shared calendar it states cannot create event. Checked to make sure it was authenticated with the account, still no luck.
