when adding a new calendar/address book, one has to re-create the account on the Android device – but as I rarely do that, it doesn't affect me too hard).

There's still much room for improvements (e.g. I chose DAVDroid as it's "one app to rule them both" (calendars and contacts), and it's available for free via F-Droid. As a side effect, I not only can manage my calendars and contacts via a web interface, but – depending on my needs – also have additional features available, such as "cloud storage" (enabled by default) and even document management (including an basic editor), plus tons of ownCloud apps to chose from. OwnCloud requires a web server with PHP (5.4+ the latest versions want 5.5+, but still work with 5.4) and a database (minimal: SQLite, I use it with MySQL), which are available from the standard repositories.

– I've taken this as strong wish for privacy, not explicitly excluding WiFi, so I hope the following is OK for you:įor this I use ownCloud on my Ubuntu machine, and DAVDroid on my Android devices (for alternatives, see below). Though you wrote Synchronization must be over USB cable or BlueTooth, not over the cloud.
