Calendar Sync

You will have to provide the Email address of Google account and password under the heading called “Google Account.” Now the button “Sign in to Google” needs to be clicked in order to allow the tool (Calendar Sync) to access your Google Calendar data.
• Next, you will find the options “Select Google Calendar/Outlook Calendar. Here you have to provide the calendar name, clicking on Browse Folder you can browse the calendar on your computer or laptop, or click on Load Calendar in order to load the calendar from the Google Account.

The Auto Sync tab is located next to the Settings tab at the top. In order to use this feature, click on it, check “Enable scheduled Synchronization” checkbox. Below two options are there for Auto Sync.

When it comes to the first option, you have to enter a time in minutes, and the data will be synchronized according to that time. For example, if you want the data to be synchronized in every 6 hours, write “360” (6×60).

The second option is for scheduling auto sync at a particular time of the day. Here you will have to mention hours, minute, AM/PM and then click on the Save Settings. Now, all the new entries will get synchronized at the selected time.

SynqYa

This is not a desktop tool, rather it’s a web-based service. Many of you may find this service bit confusing and do not prefer to use, but the advantage of using this web-based app is that it does not require any administrator licence to work.

To use this free service, first you will have to register with your Google Account and authorize the service to access your Google Calendar and Google Drive.

You will be given an export Google Calendar link in the SynqYa’s main interface. Click on it and all the events in Google Calendar will get downloaded on your PC in the iCalendar format. Now the iCalendar file can be opened with outlook to sync with it. SynqYa will also keep duplicate entries, so there will be the same entry in both Google and Outlook.

Both these services are good, but our recommendation is the Calendar Sync for google outlook sync.
