CalDAV and CardDAV for Android with OX Sync

OX Sync​

The Android app "OX Sync" synchronizes calendars, tasks, and contacts between your mailbox.org account and your Android device. It uses the CalDAV protocol (for calendar data) and CardDAV protocol (for the contact data in your address books).

OX Sync is available for free download on the Google Play Store. After downloading, you only need to log in with your mailbox.org account credentials, and the app will automatically configure all necessary basic settings (Figure 1).

OX Tasks​

The task management is handled by the separate app "OX Tasks". By default, this is not linked on the home screen of your Android smartphone or tablet, but instead can be found in the list of all applications, from where you can place it on the home screen (Figure 2).

Alternative Open Source solution: DAVx5​

Many of our customers are using DAVx5 (a free open source software). Please see our user forum for further instructions if you want to try it. Due to the complexity of software out there, our team only may provide support for the OX Sync App.
