Feature request: simple file-based calendar synchronization

Open sergei-mironov opened this issue 7 years ago • 8 comments

Hi. Thank you for such a great application. May I suggest a feature of simple file-based synchronization? Let me explain the feature in more details: In my view, to implement the synchronization one would typically need:

  • Combination of import-to-file/export-from-file operations run by a timer every certain amount of minutes
  • A form allowing user to specify folder and file name to synchronize the data into
  • Procedure of conflict resolution, which may be as simple as taking the newest data while storing the conflicting data together with newest and raising a notification for the user.

Synchronization software like Synching is available as OpenSource. They may do the rest of the work regarding moving the data from one machine to another without sharing the data with third companies. Also there are encfs-based solutions one may use to handle the encryption.
