 Calendar,  Tasks, and  Contacts Sync

Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook does not offer native CalDAV or CardDAV support at this time, but there are third-party apps that offer Outlook calendar, tasks, and contacts synchronization, such as:

  •  Outlook CalDav Synchronizer — Free Outlook Plugin, which synchronizes events, tasks, and contacts between Outlook and Nextcloud. Supported Outlook versions are 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, and 2007.

Mozilla Thunderbird

Setup steps are essentially identical to the Calendar / Task Syncronization and Contact Syncronization instructions for Linux.
