Google offers some caveats about using its Calendar Sync program. (I probably jumped the gun on that thought by a couple of years.) In fact, the similarity of the two calendars' appearance was a little spooky: I thought for a second that Google had taken possession of my copy of Office. I didn't I notice any missing or garbled entries. When I installed the Google sync utility, I was surprised how quickly the dozens of entries in my Google Calendar were added to Outlook. Then the data in each calendar will be added to the other (if you selected the two-way option). If Outlook's not open on your machine, you'll be prompted to enter your Outlook username and password. You can also reset the frequency of updates the default is every two hours.ĭecide whether you want two-way calendar syncs, or one-way transfers between Google Calendar and Outllook. When the installation completes, the program's main window opens, prompting you to add your Google ID and password, and to select either two-way syncs, syncs from Google Calendar to Outlook, or syncs from Outlook to Google Calendar. Uncheck the installer's shortcut options to prevent a new icon to be added to your Start menu or desktop. When you install the program, you're asked where you want to place the utility's shortcuts by default, they'll be added to your Start menu and desktop. Google Calendar Sync is so fast and simple to use that my calendars were synced before I knew it.
