this app will be explode in popularity once ics files automatically populate in proton calendar app. the masses, i.e., people who are not patient enough to add files through desktop will not bother with proton until there is seamless integration with apple products. love many features but ics incompatibility on mobile prevents me from recommending it to friends because their first ask in switch for privacy concerns relates to ui, compatibility, and functionality

Agree. An ideal way (for me) would be to be able to use the share feature and have Proton Calendar be the destination app.
At the very least, .ics email attachments in Proton Mail should offer a way to add them to Proton Calendar.

I frequently use ChatGPT and ask it to create .vcs / .ics files for me, to easily create an series of events at various dates or when I copy & paste a calendar from a website.

As of today, it only allows to import files that contain a single event.

The other issue I have, it will straight away add the event to your calendar, without opening the "Create event" dialog first, so you could set any reminders or invite people etc.

Could you please improve the handling of calendar files on mobile?

Thank you

Please allow ics files to be opened with and imported to the Proton Mail app on iPhone/mobile devices. I very often receive meeting invitations with ics files and the only way I can import the attached ics file to my Proton calendar is to go to my desktop, download the ics file to my computer, and then drag it into Proton Calendar, and that’s assuming I’m near my desktop.

Same thing for the iOS app. Opening .ics files, at least from email attachments in Proton Mail, in the Proton Calendar app is a must.

Being able to add events to the calendar from other apps (e.g. proton mail) is a critical piece of functionality.

Currently most apps allow sharing an .ics file but the Proton Calendar app doesn’t seem to allow importing/adding events from them.

I'm surprised this hasn't been implemented yet. I just scheduled a doctor appointment on my android phone and the medical app gives me an ics file with the appointment time. I open the ics file and it gives me the option to import on all calendar apps I have, except proton calendar. This is the main reason I'm not using the calendar service yet.

I regularly get cal invites with attached ics files from various other services. Mostly Google, but some Office 360 accounts as well. ProtonCalendar should register for these events directly from the ProtonMail message.

Add .ics file association option for the Android ProtonCalendar app.
E.g.: When tapping on an .ics file, choose to open with ProtonCalendar app, just like it is possible with Outlook.

In the Web UI it is possible to import .ics files under "import calendar". Would be cool for an app to be associated with .ics files when trying to opening them (regardless of OS).

thanks in advance, I'm sure you're working on this already.
Give upvote if you find this feature more important, too.

Totally agree. They open by default in the Google calendar app, and I can't seem to change the settings for so the proton mail app will open ICS files.
