Google Calendar Bandwidth usage

[Sl33py]

Hi
I have a customer that keeps on getting capped. How much data does Google calendar use when it sync?

We sync both ways and it looks like it downloads the whole calendar. If I export my calendar to a PST file I get 50mb. If I watch my network card status and calculate the bytes send and receive I get 36mb

That's a lot of appointments

Between 3 and 8 a day, excluding birthday reminder.
Can one set it to only sync two week past and future?

Got me thinking, I had appointments going back till 2006. It seems to sync the whole calendar every time. If I remember correctly if you import a PST file you lose the date with archiving the items. I moved all my appointments to archive and set the calendar to auto everything older than a week. I now use0.3 MB instead of 30MB.
If you use Google calendar watch your calendar size and bandwidth.
Hope it helped someone else; now I have to go and explain to the customer what happened to all their bandwidth. The synced 5 calendars on a small network
