MacOS - Syncing Calendars

Goal:

Sync the macOSX Calendar App with the Disroot cloud.

This will allow you to check, update and remove your events from any computer with an internet connection. Also it will enable syncing calendar items with your smartphone and/or tablet. Once it runs, and nothing breaks, you'll forget it is there.

  • Your Disroot login name
  • Your Disroot password
  • An Apple computer with OSX (10.8 - 10.11.6) installed
  • A working internet connection
