I don't have a Microsoft 365 account. Can I still sync my calendar to Smokeball?
Yes, if you have any other type of mailbox, such as IMAP or Gmail, our Calendar Sync setup wizard will detect this and help you get set up via Local sync. Also note that with Local sync, you can only sync your calendar on one device at a time.
- Select a calendar to sync with.
- After completing the process, any changes made in your Smokeball or Outlook calendar will automatically sync with the other.
Important Note: You can only sync 1 Smokeball user to 1 unique Microsoft 365 account.
- For example, User A can sync their Smokeball calendar to any calendar in their own Microsoft 365 account.
- However, User A and User B cannot sync both of their Smokeball calendars to the same Microsoft 365 calendar or account.
