For those of us with
android smartphones, Gmail is commonly used – not just the email portion, but
the contacts and my favorite –the calendar.
and yes you can also
use this between windows based & apple portable devices as well..
As soon as either of
us make a commitment and enters it into our Gmail calendar (whether it’s to
babysit for one of the grandkids, doctors or other appts, importing repeating
dates such as birthdays & anniversaries or our busy work schedules) it
appears on all devices that have the Gmail calendar on them (remember – the
calendar is actually in the clouds and not on your device).
We each have our own
Gmail account, but we “share” my Gmail calendar and it’s wonderful-it has helped
to eliminate any conflicts….
To share your Gmail
calendar with specific people, just follow these easy steps when you are in
your Gmail account on computer (so you have more viewing area):
1. Open you Gmail
calendar and in the calendar list on the left side of the page, click the
down-arrow button next to a calendar, then select Share this calendar.
2. Enter the email
address of the person you want to share your calendar with.
3. From the drop-down
menu on the right side, select a level of permission, then click Add Person.
4. Click Save.
Once you click Save, the person you
selected to share the calendar with will receive an email invitation to view
your calendar. The person will need to click on the link contained in the email
to add the calendar to his/her Other calendars list, the calendar will not be automatically added to the
user’s Calendar account
