LightDrive Tasks synchronizes through CalDAV. The app you connect must support CalDAV tasks, also called VTODO, not just calendar events. Adding an event-only calendar connection is not enough to make tasks appear.
Connection settings
- Discovery address:
lightdrive.one - Manual fallback URL:
https://vault.lightdrive.one/remote.php/dav/ - Username: your full
[email protected]address, preserving the case of your LightDrive ID - Recommended password: a separate LightDrive client password that includes Calendars
- Security: HTTPS with certificate verification enabled
Create the credential under Settings → Security → App & device access. Choose Calendars only for a task-only client, or a combination including Calendars if that app also needs Email or Contacts. Your main LightDrive password or a Vault app password can also be used by compatible CalDAV clients. Email-only and Contacts-only client passwords do not authorize Tasks synchronization.
After connecting, select the task lists to synchronize. Create tasks in the LightDrive list, not an app’s local-only list. See 6.5 Calendar Synchronization (CalDAV), 9.7 Vault App Passwords and Client Passwords, and 14.3 CalDAV Settings.
Choosing an app
Desktop Thunderbird provides a Tasks view for task-capable network calendars. On Android, Tasks.org supports CalDAV directly, and DAVx⁵ can synchronize tasks with a compatible task app such as Tasks.org. These are task-capable options, not a guarantee that every LightDrive feature appears identically in every client.
Consult the app’s current instructions: Thunderbird network calendars, Tasks.org CalDAV setup, and DAVx⁵ task-app integration. Use the LightDrive addresses above rather than another provider’s example address. With DAVx⁵, select a task app and allow the permissions it needs.
Test a simple task first, then check dates, completion, subtasks, repeats, and reminders before relying on a client’s advanced features. Do not configure two synchronization methods for the same list unless you understand how that app avoids duplicates.
Subscriptions are different
A LightDrive public read-only calendar link contains events only, never Tasks. It cannot synchronize your task lists. An exported calendar file is a one-time copy rather than two-way synchronization. Keep exported files and your client password private.
