Hi, I have a big .ics file (12.1 MB) exported from Gmail which I'm trying to import. I have tried importing from SOGo web UI, this does not work properly. No clear error but it seems some process on the background times out. When doing the same with other (smaller) files from other Gmail accounts I experience no issues. Things I have tried: - Set up CalDAV on an macOS, imported .ics in native Calendar application, unfortunately does not import everything. - Set up Exchange ActiveSync in Outlook 2016 on Windows, tried importing but getting error. So what options do I have? [edit]: Right after posting this I found this: https://automatica.com.au/2018/01/split-large-ical-ics-file-years/ Going to try and report back.

Import big .ics / ical file exorted from Gmail, what options do we have?

Hi,

I have a big .ics file (12.1 MB) exported from Gmail which I’m trying to import. I have tried importing from SOGo web UI, this does not work properly. No clear error but it seems some process on the background times out. When doing the same with other (smaller) files from other Gmail accounts I experience no issues.

Things I have tried:

Set up CalDAV on an macOS, imported .ics in native Calendar application, unfortunately does not import everything.
Set up Exchange ActiveSync in Outlook 2016 on Windows, tried importing but getting error.

So what options do I have?

Just for future reference answering my own question:

Splitting the ics is the way to handle situations like this. Use https://github.com/druths/icssplitter for example.
