What are people using for synchronizing the contacts and calendar in

I have Evolution on Linux Mint (Ubuntu) and a Samsung Galaxy S7.

Don't have an android phone or use Evolution, but folks on the jpilot mail
list report good results syncing their android phones to owncloud. YMMV.

I use Google Contacts to synchronize my contacts across devices... In
Gnome, under "Online Accounts", I have my Google account (not Gmail) set
up, and when I use Evolution, my contacts and calendars are sync'ed with
the Google cloud, and with my mobile devices (Android phone, Apple iPad
tablet).

I keep my calendar and contacts in ownCloud on the web and synchronize
everything to it.
It works like charm with Android, iOS, Linux (Evolution/Kontact/Kmail)
... did not try Win (but other people say that it works too).
In Android, I use iCal and CardDAV apps to do the synchronization with
the native Address Book and Calendars by Google. Naturally, it all
works for the rest of the family too. Additional benefit is file file
storage synchronized between all the devices and being able to share
files/calendar/... with the other users/family.
In my opinion, it is well worth the setup effort.
