I want my wife and I to share a private calendar of family events, which we can access and edit in Outlook and on an iPhone or Android phone.

As a legacy free Google apps user, my first thought was to make my wife a Google account (within my app domain), create a calendar and share it between us. Having done so (using the "Share with specific people" calendar setting), I tried to then sync the calendar using the popular instructions for this process. It failed with the error:

Cannot verify or add the Internet Calendar in Outlook. Verify the link is a valid calendar link:

https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/<snip>/public/basic.ics

The Google calendar settings page warns me:

This is the address for your calendar. No one can use this link unless you have made your calendar public.

Presumably this may be the source of my error – Outlook can't find anything at the URL since it's not public. However, I don't want to make the calendar public because it contains private information.

How do I access this calendar from Outlook? Am I misunderstanding the implications of making my calendar public?

Alternatively, is there a different approach I can take to share any type of calendar between those three targets (Android, iPhone and Outlook), accessible to two different people?

  @sunk818 Yes, I held a free Google apps account prior to the closure of that scheme. AFAICT, the sync app requires one of the non-free variants (either Google Apps for Work, Education, or Government). I've tried to follow the instructions to enable it and found parts of my admin pages to be lacking the necessary sections.

  Sync2 is for outlook and google calendar. Android would tie in directly to google calendar. Google calendar has a private calendar you share and have access to. I don't see why you couldn't access that on android. iPhone also has direct connection to google calendar via the native calendar app.

Calendar can be displayed in Outlook, but not edited when adding a new Internet calendar to Outlook.
What most people stumble across: Google blocks the initial access due to default safety settings. I am not sure any more where, but there are some security settings which you need to change/ give "your" Outlook access so that Google allows it to access the data.
