Reminder not Syncing with Microsoft To Do

ALSY — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 09:44:22 GMT

Hi everybody,

Not sure if it's just me but is anybody else having trouble syncing Remindet with To Do? I decided it might be a good idea so I set To Do up on my laptop, logged in with the same account I use on my mobile and... nothing. The list on my laptop is empty, none of the 93 items on my phone are showing up.

Does anybody know how to make this work. I'm perfectly willing to accept it"s something I'm doing (or not doing), but some help would be good.

Cheers, as always!

Thanks, Steve. That's useful. I've also discovered that rather than syncing your actual Reminder list to the Microsoft system, this integration just adds a category called 'Tasks' to your list in the Reminder app. Anything I want to appear in the PC apparently needs to be added to Tasks, rather than using the categories I've already established in Reminder... which isn't terribly useful. Classic Microsoft half- baked integration, apparently. Think I'll stick to keeping reminders on my phone and watch. Shame, seemed like a good idea.
