Hi there,

I store all my appointments in different files I work as psychologist
and have one file per familiy I work with.  So there are all
appointments where I make the documentation later too.

Normally I collect the appointments in an "Inbox" in my gtd.org file
where later I refile them to the clients.

Now I would like to use my phones calender (having android 5.0.2) to
collect the appointments for later use in my org files.  Is that
possible to have a two way sync for that with the different file
structure.  As far as I see the org-gcal is for one file for one google
calender, but I have one google calender and the appointments splittet
in several fiels.

Has anyone done that till now or do i have to go new way?

Thanks,
Martin

I am not entirely sure what you mean by this last sentence.

Full two synchronisation with multiple google calendars and multiple org
files is not possible currently (AFAIK).  However, if you explore your
use case in more detail, do you need full two-way synchronisation?  It
is quite straightforward to create multiple .ics files, e.g. one per org
file, which can then be loaded by Google's calendar so that you can have
multiple calendars shown in Google.  What you cannot do is edit those
events (or add new events) in those calendars via Google.

If org is your main route for working with the information, as opposed
to just displaying that information in a calendar view, then maybe a
one-way synchronisation may be sufficient and then exporting each org
file to ICS separately would be sufficient for your needs.

Just a different perspective.

ok, that brings me to a new idea how it could work.  if the ics files
hold the data from the families, and can be shown in the google calendar
its fine.

so now I would have to have one org file in two way sync somehow.  its
where I store new appointments directly on my phone, after a sync to
org, i can refile them to other files - the sync then is for deleting it
so i don't have it redundant as two appointments on my phone.

do you think that works?

thanks,
Martin

Yes, this could work.
