Not perfect, but no other good and free solution.

Perfect. I synced calendars, tasks and contacts from two Google accounts. I have been using the extension for over 1 year without any problems. Thank you very much.
Perfeito. Sincronizei calendários, tarefas e contatos de duas contas do Google. Uso a extensão há mais de 1 ano sem problemas. Muito obrigada.

At the moment there are synchronization problems. In version 115, new calendar appointments entered via the mobile version of Google Calendar (iOS, Android) are not displayed / synchronized. With an older Thunderbird version (102.15.1) on another Windows 10 computer it still works fine. So the problem seems to have happened with the new version 115 (Supernova). The synchronization between all other Google Calendar apps (iOS, Android) works without problems. Only in Thunderbird 115, new appointments created on another device are not synced. Please fix this problem.

The notification window for appointments can not be closed, neither for all notification nor for a specific one, it is annoying.

I have just noticed, adding meeting invitations from E-mails does not work either. A mail with a meeting invitation displays the following error: "No writable calendars are configured for invitations, please check the calendar properties". I'm sure the "Read Only" checkbox on my subscribed Google Calendar is off and I can create events there manually from Thunderbird. This is very sad.
Copying from my previous review. Using v115.0.2. It works sufficiently well with calendar events but is broken in syncing Google Tasks. Tasks created or marked completed in Google Tasks sometimes do not appear or fail to change status in Thunderbird etc. Tasks created in Thunderbird usually appear in Google Tasks though. There is a "diode" somewhere along the way.

As many reviewers have noted, Provider for Google Calendar fails to import new events from a Google calendar when synchronizing. It will do this properly when Thunderbird is rebooted, but once it is running, the local calendar is not kept updated. I hope the developer is listening.

Worked when first updated to version 115. Now with further betas, it is unusable again

Unusable after a recent update. I don't remember Google Calendar *ever* working flawlessly with Thunderbird, especially across multiple devices. This add-on used to make it tolerable, but now I no longer get write access. That's it, for good - I'll probably have to migrate away from TB to get a very basic productivity feature. :-( (No, ICal also doesn't work. It's a mess.)

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.
