Android calendar: integrate files from Google Drive

This guide shows you how to integrate files from Google Drive into the calendar on the Android smartphone.

Integrate files from Google Drive into the Android calendar

Files from Google Drive are particularly useful in the calendar if, for example, you need several documents for certain meetings. The Google Calendar makes it easy to link appointments and files:

1. Open the Google Calendar app on your smartphone and tap the round red plus symbol at the bottom right to create a new appointment.
2. In the next window, swipe all the way down when creating an appointment and select "Add attachment".
3. A Google Drive overview then opens, from which you can select any file.
4. So far, linking has only worked with appointments that you have also created in Google Calendar. Synchronized appointments from Outlook, for example, cannot yet be linked to Google Drive files.
