    So for those of you that don't know, although it's no secret, I am the Chairman of my local Sea Cadet group. As part of being a Charitable organisation, we get Office 365 free compliments of Microsoft. I have given all of the volunteers an account for email and aa lovely 1Tb of cloud storeage. The only thing that is spoiling the party is the online calendar. I have published a shared calendar onto the interwebs but to be honest, it's a but pish. Due to the restrictions on Office 365, the calendar will only show 6 months at a time, and we can't attach documents for parents to download.

    Is anyone aware of a facility that can do this? I need to be able to post repeatable events, attach documents or multiple documents to an event for anyone to download, published to the interwebs, hopefully using our domain name.

    I've googled but not yet found anything thaty fits.

    Depending on time/skillet you could create a SharePoint Online site collection and publish a Calendar from there.

    Surely creating an Office 365 group should be sufficient? It will come with its own section to upload documents, calendar etc.

    @BB88 Apparently you are no longer able to publish a sharepoint web site outside of your organisation.

    @Juelz I'm current using a shared mailbox and whilst this allows you to attach documents and put items on the calendar, but for parents who are not part of the organisation, only 6 months is shown and attached docs are not available.
