This works fine, and is currently my only syncing option as my access to other web services (git, dropbox etc) is blocked at my workplace. One small issue: the google calendar file changes regularly, even when I haven't added or modified any appointments. As a consequence, I am interrupted by Emacs reminding me that google.org has changed on disk, and I need to respond before I can continue to browse my agenda. This isn't a big deal, but maybe one of you know how to eliminate this problem? For the record, the sort of changes that I see are this: ~/.emacs.d/org$ diff google.org google.org-old 488c488 < ACTION:EMAIL --- > ACTION:DISPLAY 490,491d489 < SUMMARY:Alarm notification < ATTENDEE:mailto:xxx@gmail.com 495c493 < ACTION:DISPLAY --- > ACTION:EMAIL 496a495,496 > SUMMARY:Alarm notification > ATTENDEE:mailto:xxx@gmail.com It seems the ACTION line switches back and forth between DISPLAY and EMAIL. I don't understand the ics format to know what this means. I have searched the mailing list and stackoverflow, but if this has come up before I missed it. Thanks for your help, Tyler
