Copy or Export Shared Google Calendar

Question

I would like to copy or export a shared Google calendar that is listed under "Other Calendars."

I have found instructions on how to do this using the Public Address in iCal format. However, for the calendar I wish to copy or export, I do not have this information. Under integrate, there are only a "calendar ID" and a "Public URL to this calendar."

When I open the Public URL in a new browser, I cannot find any option to Save As .ics, I can only find options to save it as a web archive.

How do I copy, save, or export it in a format that can be imported into Google calendar or even any calendar program?

Answer 1

There's actually a very easy workaround.

1. Install Thunderbird
2. Import your agendas (it will also process shared agendas)
3. Export your agenda in whatever format that suits you.

The key word here is shared.
You can not copy or export a shared Google calendar. They are not yours, so you cannot do anything else but share them.

Extra info: Not even the default Birthdays calendar found can be exported or downloaded because it "Displays birthdays, anniversaries and other event dates of people in Google Contacts."
