Issue importing ICS files into Gmail calendar on 3rd party browsers

A user was unable to import an ICS file into his calendar. If you are using Gmail and a browser other than Safari the process is tricky. Gmail opens the link in your browser and the file can be saved to your phone. Opening the .ics in Files won’t help.

Instead press on the link until the menu appears. Select copy link. Open Safari and paste the link in the search bar. Safari will open the link and allow you to add to your calendar.

This may be a little wordy feel free to edit my post.
