How to remove Etar account?

Apps
1

Hi! I’m just starting the process of disconnecting from Google, and my computer skills are nonexistent…

I’ve been using Etar for a while now, and it’s working fine. Now I’m using it synced with Google Calendar.

The next step is to open a Murena account and start the calendar from that account, which I’ll then sync to Nextcloud (more later). This is important because I break my phone too often, and I can’t lose my calendar and contacts if I use offline mode.

The thing is, even though I’ve started entering new events through the Murena account, I’d like to disconnect the Google account I was using. But I can’t find a way to export/import everything I already have with Google, nor how to delete that account.

Does anyone know how?
Thanks

I haven’t used Etar, but you should be able to disconnect your Google account using Google’s interface as well. Go to accounts.google.com select “security” and find your connections to third-party apps. Remove Etar.

Hopefully, this will help. To review all your current third-party connections:

  1. Visit your Google Account’s third-party connections page.
  2. Find the app or service in the list.
  3. Select the app or service whose connections you want to review.

Also, do not forget to turn off syncing from etar settings option for that account.

If you used DavX5 then you can disconnect via DavX5 itself.

From account settings via android settings too, if need to remove locally.

Okay, thanks, sounds good. The only thing missing is the ability to export the Google calendar. I know how to create the file, but I don’t see anything similar to “import” in ETAR

what file format? . ICS ? Just “open it”

Bulk export is not available, afaics. However, individual files can be done. So for example, click on your event, then 3 dots on the right top, share and save. Export for some reason may not work, but share works.

Google may not have an export function, but Etar might. Export from there before you disconnect your Google account. If Etar does not, you can use Fossify Calendar.

Yes, that’s it, ICS. I’ll run some tests to see what happens…

Ok, I’ll try that too

Google does have it (PC only), I’ve already located it.
Ultimately, I’ll do it manually, little by little.

Check out Fossify Calendar. It can also connect to your Google and local calendars and export all of your events into an ICS file.

What would I gain over Etar? I’ve been using this one for a while now, and it gives me what I need. The truth is, learning how to use another one is a bit of a chore :sweat_smile:
As I said, I’m not tech-savvy; I just want to avoid Google.
That’s why I started using Etar, because it’s what Murena uses, which is the workspace(s) I plan to move to (once I start to understand how to do it).

I haven’t looked at all the differences. I’m sure Etar is fine for your daily use. I suggested Fossify, since you would be able to export your entire Google calendar at once, then import it into Etar if you like. Etar doesn’t seem to have an export function.

I installed it to have a look around, and honestly, there isn’t much difference in use from the other one. It also seems to have many more options and is quite intuitive.
I quickly imported my other calendars. Except for the colors, which are all gone.
And I also noticed the option to save backups to the SD card, which for me could be a good way to avoid using Drive while I learn how to save and sync in other ways.
Anyway, I’m going to have a look around a bit, but I might stick with Fossify.
I also see there are quite a few more Fossify apps!

Yeah. Color will vanish with fossify. Trouble is, it is an essential need which is available in etar but not in fossify.
