<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I use Google calendar on all my devices
ie computer, phone and tablet. It has a sharing option so other
people can view it and or various levels of modifying. You can
export your calendar to save it. I guess the data may be stored on
the Google cloud somewhere but if you want to sync your data with
all your devices what choice do you have unless you have your own
cloud server?<br>

<div>I think that Dropbox is the best place to store the file

<div>PS I have looked at Google Calendar and Yahoo! Calendar.
They are OK as web based applications but as far as I can
tell, they don't keep copies locally. Also, they require
login, and it gets complicated when you want a single calendar
for multiple users with different passwords. I cannot remember
if the LINUX jPilot uses exactly the same format for its
storage as the Palm Desktop on Windows and MacOS, of if there
is a version for Android tablets/phones and Mac products. That
would be a possible candidate but the files structure is
pretty complicated and tends to be quite bloated.</div>
<div>From the presentation at the last BB&C General Meeting,
it would appear that Outlook might be a candidate, except that
I have not figured out how to make it work in LINUX.
Furthermore, I would much prefer an Open Source application.</div>
