Sync is active and working.The screenshot is from my Linux OS with newest snapshot like you have.
I'll have a look how it is on Windows...EDIT:// I have it on Windows too. If it is not standard it came from mod css that I copied into Vivaldi. But I don't know which one. May be @luetage might know it.

@janrifkinson I tested another CalDAV app on Android and initially had problems getting it to sync. And I’m sorry, but I’m confused by your situation. Last time we talked your end goal was syncing your calendars from your Google calendar server to Vivaldi browser. I suggested you use the Google web calendar directly until Vivaldi sorts out their issues with Google. This topic is about using the Vivaldi calendar server to sync with Vivaldi browser and a calendar app on Android. It’s a different thing and directions on how to do this are in the original post.

I'm sorry to have been confusing. You are correct. I was talking about synching Vivaldi & Google Calendar, realize, problem, followed your directions & it worked perfectly; thank you
But then I started playing around in Vivaldi calendars in gen'l & was confused why I couldn't enter data in one & have it appear on the other. Same servers? I believe I'm working w the latest version.

@janrifkinson You got local calendars in your picture, these will not sync. The vivaldi.net calendar should sync however. Your setup is far too complex to troubleshoot it. My suggestion would be to delete all calendar accounts from Vivaldi, delete all calendars from the Vivaldi calendar server, create a new calendar on the server and create a test event. Then create a vivaldi.net account in the Vivaldi browser to see whether you can get the Vivaldi calendar server event into your browser. Make this work and you can build up on that, playing around seemingly won’t get you anywhere.

@Dancer18 OK, that explains it as I have no mods of any kind installed.
-
@greybeard Calendars have a “Sync Calendar” tick‐box, there is no mod introducing or removing this behaviour. Might be dependent on the account though. The
vivaldi.net
account shows the boxes. -

@greybeard Why email? We are talking calendar only.
-
@luetage Yes, you are correct. We are talking about @Dancer18's screenshot of a Sync Calendar option below.
That toggle does not exist on my system.
Whooops... Yes i Do have it. I was looking in the wrong place! As I have settings come up as a Tab it is far to the right of the screen and is Checked.
Totally my fault. I missed it. Apologies.There seems to be no way to Sync without another Third Party Sync app.
It will not Sync with the default calendar and there seems to be no way to add another Calendar to it.
Perhaps Outlook's Calendar? I believe I can do that (I think). I will try. It's something I didn't want to do but... -

Should be not problem, you can delete it any time. I did so even with Google calendar to check something.
And very quickly !!! I deleted it.

@greybeard
The picture @Dancer18 posted is the calendar settings. I’m officially confused now. Maybe I don’t get it : /edit: ok, just read the correct reply…
You gotta know what your goal is, which calendar server do you use at the moment? Note that the Vivaldi browser is not a calendar server, Vivaldi provides the calendar server option with webmail.

Inserting myself in this conversation once again.
I know what my goal is.
Primarily I use vivaldi://calendar/
I am trying to sync to Calendar server option in webmail.If I remember correctly, this worked once upon a time. Now it doesn't. I am on most current snapshot version.
Thank you
-
@janrifkinson No idea, I got it working. It’s Vivaldi to Vivaldi, so it should function correctly. You gotta tell us how to reproduce your bug.
-
@janrifkinson If you want to sync your calendars you need a server.
That server is Vivaldi.net/Calendar.It is only there where you must setup your calendars. Not locally in Vivaldi browser.
To use them in browser you have to do the settings in it AFTER you had created the calendars on vivaldi web.You have to add a calendar by clicking "+" and then name it, select the account type (vivaldi.net in this case), put in the adress and password and then - after confirm - you will see that your web-calendars are popping up in the list below (in the settings, look at my screenshot again).
That's it. From then on you are able to work locally to create new events and even tasks (tasks are not displayed in web calendar but locally).
-
@luetage I guess I missed something.
I thought the calendars were the same, as the email accounts are.
Maybe I'll continue with Webmail. -
@greybeard As Webmail consists of email, calendar and contacts, you have to login there with your vivaldi-email-adress and that is why you have to use your webmail-account to add webmail calendars or mails to the browser...
BTW: I had similar difficulties when I started with Zimbra-CalDAV-Server few years ago.
To get it synced with desktop and android wasn't that easy.This Vivaldi-help-page provides some more information.

I set this up using Thunderbird, using its tbsync extension, rather than in Android. TB needed to be restarted, and then I could download Vivaldi Webmail's calendar events. But events created in TB are not making it to the Webmail.
In Android, the Open Sync app seems to make the connection, but I can't get Simple Calendar to see it.
-
@paul1149 Downloading webmail calendar events doesn’t sync them. I haven’t checked out simple calendar, are you sure it’s CalDAV capable?
