How do I sync a calendar (.ics) file that isn’t accessible online with Snugr?

If your calendar application doesn’t allow direct online access to an iCal (.ics) file, you can make the file available via a cloud storage service so Snugr can reach it.

Follow these steps:

  1. Create a Google Drive account if you don’t already have one.

  2. Upload the .ics file to a folder in Google Drive.

  3. Share the file:

    • Right-click the file in Google Drive.

    • Choose Share.

    • Copy the shareable link.

    The link will look something like:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/XXXXXXX/view?usp=sharing

  4. Convert the link to a direct download URL that Snugr can use:

    • Take the part between file/d/ and /view?usp=sharing.

    • Append it to:

      https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=

    • For example:

      https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=XXXXXXX

  5. Paste that final URL into the iCal calendar field in Snugr’s calendar settings.

Snugr will then access your .ics file through that address and sync the events.
