Worked fine until I shut down Thunderbird. After that it would not sync with Google Calendar at all no matter what I tried. I uninstalled it, and set up Thunderbird 115 to use a Network Calendar with Google Calendar. This works fine and no sync issues.

Worked well for a long time, now I am not able to dismiss reminders. So it mostly became useless.

Ich kann mich der Bewertung von TheSaint anschließen. DIe seit kurzem mangelhafte Synchronisation ist mehr als ärgerlich.
Zudem: Macht man z.B. eine Änderung auf dem Smartphone, etwa ein zusätzliche Benachrichtigung, dann wird auf dem PC Client (Linux) eine Abfrage eingeblendet, mit dem Hinweis, dass eine Änderung auf dem Server gemacht wurde. Die Antwortmöglichkeiten lassen den Nutzer im Unklaren, welche Änderung, die auf dem Server oder die auf dem Client, nun ignoriert werden soll.
Im beschriebenen Fall ist das irrelevant, da bei beiden Antwortmöglichkeiten der Dialog sofort wieder aufgeht. Man muss dann den Kalender oder Thunderbird schließen.
Inzwischen scheint mir auch klar wo eine Wurzel des Übels liegt: Thunderbird kann nicht mit mehreren Benachrichtigungen umgehen.

Ich schreibe diese Bewertung, weil ich keinen anderen Weg gefunden habe, einen Bug Report abzugeben.
Seit kurzer Zeit verwandelt der Thunderbird Kalender Einträge, die mit diesem Plugin in einem Google Kalender gemacht wurden, immer in HTML-Code, d. h., wenn man z. B. eine Leerzeile in seinen Eintrag einfügt, wird der Eintrag beim nächsten Aufrufen mit zwei ausgeschriebenen br-Tags, aber ohne Zeilenumbruch an dieser Stelle angezeigt, was einen längeren, formatierten Eintrag fast unlesbar macht.
Thunderbird ist der neueste Supernova (115.1.0 (64-Bit)), das Provider for Google Calendar Plugin ist auch auf dem neuesten Stand (115.0.2).

This was such a great plugin, but like others are saying, it is no longer properly syncing.
If you create something on your android phone, it won't show up here. Even if you hit sync. The only way to make it show is to reboot Thunderbird. Then, suddenly is syncs everything.
So it isn't very useful for a system that runs 24/7 anymore.

Ich schreib die Bewertung eher als Bitte, da ich mit der App seither zufrieden bin.
Und zwar blendet Google seit einiger Zeit die "Erinnerungen" (z.B. aus den Google Notizen) nicht mehr im Kalender ein.
Wäre es möglich/vorstellbar, den Provider dahingehend zu erweitern, dass er über ein Google API (falls es das gibt) diese "Erinnerungen" von Google abholt und in den Thunderbird-Kalender als Termine einträgt ?

This is a great addon that worked without any hassle in Thunderbird 115. That being said, I've added my GMail email account, and it looks like Thunderbird handles calendar & contact sync natively. I'm not sure this plugin may be necessary anymore.

Need this add-on to sync my google tasks (not calendar). Works good; just hesitating to update to the new Thunderbird 115. Is there any experience already if it works smoothly?

Sorry, it could be nice but no sincro from my android device, so totally unuseless for my needs.

Does not synchronize reliably (misses new appointments created on other devices, even though they already appear in calendar.google.com). Manually selecting the "synchronize calendar" option does not help. Unusable in this form.

Thank you for this addon. Works great for multiple calendars.
I have a request though. Please add a time option to google tasks. You can only create all-day tasks.

Almost!
This provides easy set up of Google calendar with task support in Thunderbird. However, as others have mentioned, calendar event reminders cannot be dismissed. This makes the feature quite unusable, unfortunately.

This is so far the most reliable add-on for google calendar. But it comes with a bunch of bugs related to calendar event reminders. I'm waiting for the bugs to be resolved.

Did work until recently very well, now I had to delete this add-on because in Version 102.11.2 and the version before it slowed down my TB, made it unusable and I could synchronize my Google Calendar also without it - only "Google Tasks" are no longer synchronizable.

Works well both ways, thank you. Could you please add time sync for Google tasks and other fields supported (like tasks.org)? For now tasks are shown as all-day events only, without any options to set the time

I installed this in the latest T'bird. I did get a notice from Google "Provider for Google Calendar was granted access to your linked Google Account". It did duplicate my "home" calendar on T'bird with one using my Google email. But it didn't actually do what I needed it for, make my T'bird calendar entries visible on my phone's Google calendar. It just doesn't sync, though it did pull in one entry I made from the phone onto T'bird. So it's basically broken.

I give it three stars at present for being a uni-directional tool. It syncs from Thunderbird's calendar to Google's calendar fine. It does NOT sync from Google calendar to Thunderbird's calendar. Thus, I have to be careful to have orphaned listings in Google that I forget about. Happy to upgrade stars when it becomes bi-directional.

Dates imported from .ics files show the right time prior to importing, but are added to calendars with a wrong time (+2 hours for me). This issue has already been reported to your github page in February.
