This is a fork of the Google Integration app

Use at your own risk. This app is still in early development. Users are effectively beta testers.

If all you need to do is import all of your data from Google once and permanently migrate to Nextcloud (lucky you), you should use the Google Integration app.

However, if you're like me, you're part of a team or group that has shared a Google Calendar with you, and you would like to keep it up to date with your Nextcloud calendar. That's exactly what this app does.

This is a fork of Google Integration that creates a background task that will periodically import all changes from Google Calendar to your Nextcloud calendar. As such, all functionality of Google Integration is still implemented, so you can still import Contacts, Photos, Drive manually. However, currently, only Google Calendar background synchronization is supported. Please let me know if you would like to continuously synchronize other services. This also means that this app should not be used at the same time as Google Integration.

This is a one-way synchronization. Events from Google Calendar are imported into Nextcloud, but events from Nextcloud are not sent to Google.

This App supports:

1. New events: Adding a new event in Google Calendar will create a new event in Nextcloud Calendar
2. Modified events: Modifying an event in Google Calendar will modify the event in Nextcloud Calendar
3. Deleted events: Well, you get it by now
4. Calendars you own
5. Calendars that have been shared with you

In your Nextcloud, simply enable the Google Integration app through the Apps management. The Google Integration app is available for Nextcloud >= 22.

The app needs some setup in the Google API Console in order to work. To do this, go to Nextcloud Settings > Administration > Connected accounts and follow the instructions in the "Google integration" section.

After setting up the Google API, head to Nextcloud Settings > Google Synchronization.

The first time coming here, you should only see one button "Sign in with Google". Click this, and follow the prompts. Give access to everything requested (the app does not handle missing permissions gracefully).

Once signed in, you can import data and change settings by going to Nextcloud Settings > Google Synchronization.

This page is equivalent to Google Integration with the exception of the buttons "Sync calendar" next to each calendar.

• "Import calendar" is the same as Google Integration. It will manually import all events from the calendar once.
• "Sync calendar" will schedule a background job to continuously synchronize all events from that calendar with your Nextcloud calendar. This job should run every time background jobs run (Nextcloud Settings > Administration > Basic settings > Background jobs).

1. Setup Nextcloud development environment (such as nextcloud-docker-dev)
2. Install the files for this app in the development environment (I like to modify the nextcloud-docker-dev docker-compose.yml file and add a volume like this: - ../google_synchronization:/var/www/html/apps/google_synchronization:ro. Please read that project's README for alternative methods.)
3. Install PHP dependencies (install Composer, run composer install)
4. Install Node dependencies (install Node.js, run npm install)
5. Build JavaScript bundle: npm run dev or npm run watch
6. Enable the app. Go to the apps page in your development version of Nextcloud, find "Google Synchronization", and click "Enable"

git tag -a <version>
# Update package.json
make build
version=<version> make appstore  # will create a tar.gz in /tmp/build

This fork will add a digit after the upstream version number it's based on. For example, the first release based on v1.0.9 will be v1.0.9.0.
