Abstract
The techniques described herein facilitate sharing electronic cloud-based calendars via online application and collaboration services, e.g., Microsoft Office 365®. In an implementation, a method of operating an online application and collaboration service for sharing electronic calendars between mailboxes is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request to share a master calendar owned by a first user of the online application and collaboration service with a second user. The master calendar is stored in the first user's mailbox. The method further includes communicating a response indicating acceptance of the request to share the master calendar, generating a copy of the master calendar in the second user's mailbox, and synching the copy of the master calendar with the master calendar using pre-cached data to populate an initial view.
