2. Convert OLM Files to ICS Format: Once you've located your OLM file, convert it to an ICS format using a third-party conversion tool or software.

3. Open Google Calendar: Log in to your Google account and open Google Calendar.

4. Click on the 'Other Calendars' Tab: Click on the 'Other calendars' tab at the top of the calendar page.

5. Import OLM Files as ICS Format: Click on the 'Add by URL' button and enter the URL of the converted ICS file.

Additional Tips
