I’ve come across many solutions for getting an Outlook or Exchange calendar into iCloud, but none of them worked for me. The “ICS To Calendar” option via “Shortcuts,” which many praised, unfortunately didn’t work either.
In the end, I found a relatively simple way to import an Outlook or Exchange calendar into iCloud.
Step 1
Export your Outlook, Exchange, or Office 365 calendar in .ics format. In Outlook, you can do this by selecting the correct calendar, then clicking on “File” and choosing “Save Calendar”. Make sure the following settings are configured under “More Options…”:
Step 2
Install iCloud for Windows and ensure your calendars sync with Outlook.
Step 3:
Open Outlook. You should now see both your Exchange calendars and your iCloud calendars. Drag the .ics file into the iCloud calendar where you want to import it.
A warning message will appear—click Yes to proceed.
All calendar events will now be imported.
I’ve noticed that sometimes, when clicking Yes, nothing happens. If that occurs, simply restart Outlook and try again.
