# Goal:
**Sync the macOSX Calendar App with the Disroot cloud.**

This will allow you to check, update and remove your events from any computer with an internet connection. Also it will enable syncing calendar items with your smartphone and/or tablet. Once it runs, and nothing breaks, you'll forget it is there.

# Requirements

* Your Disroot login name
* Your Disroot password
* An Apple computer with OSX (10.8 - 10.11.6) installed
* A working internet connection
* 15 minutes

# Set up Calendar Syncing.

1. Click on the **Apple icon** in the top left of your screen.
2. Open the menu item '**System Preferences...**'.
3. Click on the icon with the name '**Internet Accounts**'.

7. Choose the third item from the top: '**CalDav Account**'

A window opens called **'Add CalDAV account'**

From the drop down menu:
**Account type:** Advanced.
**Username**: your username  (_without @disroot.org_)
**Password**: your password
**Server Address**: `cloud.disroot.org`
**Server Path**: `remote.php/dav/principals/users/USERNAME/` (replace USERNAME with your username)
**Port**: `443` and **Use SSL** ticked.
