Why Sync Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar?
Many professionals use both Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar but struggle to sync their events. Adding or updating events is time-consuming; missing an update can lead to scheduling conflicts. Setting up a two-way sync between Outlook and Google Calendar ensures that all your meetings, tasks, and reminders are updated in real-time.
How It Works (Step-by-Step Guide)
To achieve full calendar sync for Outlook and Google Calendar, I’ll be using OGCS (Outlook Google Calendar Sync), a free application that is a powerful tool for seamless two-way synchronization.
## Here’s what I’ll cover:
️ Download & Install the free sync software from GitHub
️ Configure Outlook Calendar settings (supports default and shared calendars)
️ Set up Google Calendar sync by authorizing your Google account
️ Customize sync settings, including event filtering, deletion preferences, and sync intervals
️ Test the synchronization by adding, modifying, and deleting events in both Outlook and Google Calendar
️ Enable background syncing, so updates happen automatically every 15 minutes
