Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've subscribed to a slew of external calendars from organisations I'm dealing with. Most are for information purposes only i.e. I'd like to have the appointments from their calendars in mine to be able to coordinate my schedule. The Nextcloud calendar app shows remote iCal calendars but cannot sync them to mobile devices using CalDAV. I would have to configure them there again which is tedious and prone to error.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to sync also the external events into my mobile devices using e.g.DAVx5. For that matter external calendars should appear in the list of exported calendars too.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Configuring the external calendars on the mobile - but they are a) many and b) fluctuate

Research direction
Start by tracing how the Nextcloud calendar app currently handles remote iCal calendars and how calendars are exposed through CalDAV, including the exported-calendar list. Compare that path with the DAVx5 use case described in the issue. Done means external events can be synchronized to mobile devices through CalDAV and external calendars appear among exported calendars.
