How to Add Calendar to Cloud Mail
Never miss a necessary appointment again! Staying organized with your schedule is easy; add a calendar to Cloud Mail. We use our calendars to keep track of meetings/appointments. We also use them to track team schedules, events, activities, and more. You can sort out your appointments using your calendar by separately saving private and business appointments.
In this article, you will learn to add calendars, subscribe to public and shared calendars, subscribe to external calendars, and import calendars from files.
Within the calendar app, you will see both new and existing calendars on the left menu. If you do not see a list of your calendars, click the Open folder view icon 
on the lower left corner of your calendar app to view your calendars.
