Shortcut for .ics import
I have a lot of events that provide an ics file. It's painful to import these at the moment - I have to go to settings (and log in each time), then hit the import button, then select the file.
Ideally, there would be an "Import event" button under the "New event" button which immediately opens the file dialogue to select a local ics file.

I too find this a major issue with proton calendar, a quick import on the calendar screen would go a LONG way to making it a favorite; its so much of a pain to use as it is.

Yes. Import *.ics is very important for web and mobile. This is one reason I didn't move to Proton Calendar as my primary calendar.

I find that frequently I need to save a .ics file to my desktop (because the event is not sent as an e-mail invitation) and upload it to my calendar. I use the import / export feature to do this and it works great (thank you!) but I dislike having to go through settings and multiple steps to execute. It would be very helpful if there was a quick import button on the main calendar screen. Thank you!

I just found that you can drag and drop ics files into web calendar directly without having to do to the settings!. I feel like a fool for taking this long to find it, but I think that solves this problem at least on desktop.

Alternatively, it would be nice to just drag and drop the ICS file onto the calendar pane without going through or as an alternative to button clicks.
Edit: Turns out you can do this by dragging and dropping the ICS file onto the calendar pane. Should have tried it first. -

With so many invites assuming you use Google or Outlook, we have to import the .ics. Making this quick as described above would be great.

The "New event button" should have a dropdown that provides alternative methods for adding events, such as importing .ics
