Google Calendar Sync for Microsoft Outlook

Mike D. said on March 5, 2008 4:44 PM PDT:

Are there any plans right now for Google put out this for Apple's iCal, or is Spanningsync the only option.

Simon Green said on March 5, 2008 4:50 PM PDT:

This is almost great news. I've recently been trying to figure out how to sync my multiple google calendars with my new iPhone. Dunno what that's like on a mac, but as a windows user I'm struggling to find a decent solution for synching outlook and gcal. Hope they add multiple calendar support to this soon...

#

Ionut Alex Chitu said on March 5, 2008 5:02 PM PDT:

Google Calendar has an API, so developers can write synchronization tools for all kinds of applications and devices. There are many third-party solutions and some of them are free:

syncmycal.com, oggsync.com - Outlook, Outlook Mobile

goosync.com - mobile phones

spanningsync.com - Apple iCal

gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net - free, cross-platform (Mozilla Sunbird/Lightning, Rainlendar, Evolution, Apple iCal)

Matt Passell said on March 5, 2008 5:04 PM PDT:

Another option is to use the inexpensive product CompanionLink for Google Calendar. I've been using it to sync with my Palm calendar for something like a year now.

#

techmine said on March 5, 2008 5:20 PM PDT:

any idea if this requires admin rights on PC to install? I have macs at home but XP at office. I would love to sync google calendar with outlook and access my appointments on my iPhone.

#

Ionut Alex Chitu said on March 5, 2008 5:23 PM PDT:

Yes, it requires admin privileges.

OggSync is another syncing program, and it supports syncing multiple Google Calendars. I have been using it with my Windows Mobile phone for a year....

#

Simon Green said on March 5, 2008 5:40 PM PDT:

syncmycal - tried it, but the way it syncs doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever with mulitple calendars, I either got the same event multiple times or nuclear whitewash.

Goosync currently (well, I checked yesterday so it may have changed ;) uses Funambol to sync with Outlook. That only syncs one calendar AFAICT.

oggsync I'd not come across - will take a look.

Amusingly I can sync multiple calendars with my lightning calendars in thunderbird very nicely with gcal via the gcal provider plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/sunbird/addon/4631
so a lightning/sunbird to outlook sync that supports multiple calendars might do the trick. If one exists, I've not found it.

In the short term, I'm currently resigned to living with just my main calendar on my iPhone and see how I get on with that.

Hmm,

This is good, but I've just spent the last 4 months moving to linux... Any idea when something like this is going to be provided for Evolution?

Its giving a simple and understandable error... "Google Calendar Sync: Error syncing your calendar" Is it to do with Proxy?? not sure, if someone knows how to get it working in a proxy env... will love to know about it.

Dear All,
I have Test it, i found 1 Bug.
Whenever you add your calendar into MS Outlook 2007 and sync into Google Calendar, Reminder is set as Pop - 15 Minuets. My Default Reminder already set as Email - 10 Min. and SMS - 10 MIN. so you have change reminder manual in every event which you added into MS Outlook.

Remember you can get this functionality from Plaxo that will also sync you Mac

#

Simon said on March 6, 2008 1:48 AM PDT:

I'm having some trouble with syncing Outlook 2003 and my main calendar in Google Apps. The install was very smooth and I get no error messages when the sync is attempted. It takes around 20 seconds to load Google Calendar events, but when attempting to sync to Outlook it quits. When this happens it also closes Outlook. Still, early days...

I still think Plaxo is the best. I've been using it for a couple months and it seemlessly syncs between my several computers (outlook), GMAIL, etc..
Big downside is you have to pay for the option to remove duplicates.

Will the synchronization continue syncing after the PC is shutdown? If so Great!

Jake said on March 6, 2008 12:16 PM PDT:

I've been looking for something like this for quite a while and everytime I look I end up disappointed. For a while I tried to use http://remotecalendars.sourceforge.net/ but it never seemed to work quite right.

I really like the idea of this, but as of right now it's really light on options. For example, it'd be nice to be able to tag things coming in from the Google calendar into a "GoogleCal" type category... it'd also be nice if I could choose to do two-way sync of only certain categories (or all but certain ones). I'd also like the ability to use more than just the primary calendar (my wife and I have a shared calendar that most of my events go to).

But, I'm really happy it works for Apps accounts :).

but it will better if the api can sync the colour and Categories from Outlook

#

VitaminCM said on March 8, 2008 6:41 AM PDT:

Plaxo is a far better solution. It has a toolbar for Outlook and Thunderbird that syncs with Outlook, Gmail and Calendar, Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail, AOL. That covers about 99.9% of people.
If you have an iPhone or Smartphone, then you can sync everything everywhere.
Here are step-by-step instructions on Syncing Everything Using the Plaxo Toolbar.

Great new tool!! Love it!!

One little issue I have:

Two PCs:
1 laptop with Outlook 2007.
1 desktop with Outlook 2007.

Was previously using SyncMyCal - Free version.

Laptop is syncing to primary google calendar.

Desktop is syncing to "secondary" work calendar that was used by SyncMyCal... What's up with that?

Can't get them to sync to the same calendar...

?? Help ??

then click submit and then voila! google calendar sync works! it will
fix the time zone problem!!!

Google Calendar sync to Outlook - great news!

My problem though is that it syncs and then closes Outlook automatically!

Bit of a problem given I'm syncing my personal Google calendar to my Work Outlook so that my Work Outlook can sync to my mobile phone.... and when I fail to notice Outlook has closed I wonder why I don't get any emails (oh, wait, is that a problem really?!?)

So, off I trot to the Google page that links to 'known issues' .. to discover the automatic shut down is not a known issue and I get the helpful suggestion to 'troubleshoot' which then takes me to numerous help options (none of which apply) and no way to report the 'fault'.

Anyone got any ideas how I tell Google their sync don't work correctly?!?

#

Bill N said on March 13, 2008 6:41 AM PDT:

This is great news, or it would be if it would work with Outlook 2002 Nowhere in the Google information, or the reviews, does it say that this requires Outlook 2003 or higher. You only get told during installation. Anyone have a work around?

Shame about only Outlook 2003 & 2007. Rather than keep paying MS to upgrade I'm happy at a relatively stable 2000!

I've got it to work with Lightning but it'd be neat to join the three up!

Ionut Alex Chitu said on April 8, 2008 11:24 AM PDT:

Google released an update for Calendar Sync: 0.9.3.2. The latest release fixes the following issues:

- Some users experience Outlook crashing when syncing.

- Events end up in Outlook's "Deleted items" folder.

- Events not syncing from Outlook to Google Calendar when the email address used for Outlook isn't the same as your Google Account email address.

- Issues with third-party sync applications and Google Calendar (duplicate events, deleted data, etc.). You should no longer experience problems if you have third-party sync apps installed so long as they aren't syncing between Outlook and Google Calendar. For example, it's OK to sync Google Calendar with Lightning calendar. However, it's *not* OK to sync Outlook to Google Calendar using a third-party app while also using Google Calendar Sync.

You should automatically receive the update, but you can also download it from: http://dl.google.com/googlecalendarsync/GoogleCalendarSync_Installer.exe.

We're up to 0.9.3.3, but still haven't seen support for anything other than your main calendar.

That's a real bummer to me, because I've got a whole bunch indicating when various things (games, albums, movies) AND I just got a PPC. Being able to sync all this stuff would've been perfect. As it is, the only calendar that syncs is the one that doesn't get as much use.

Here's hoping this problems gets fixed sooner rather than later; once it does, I will be one happy camper.

Yea, I am getting the same thing. I have the 1way street turned on (Outlook -->Google Calendar). When I mark an appointment as private (I don't have MS Exchange...POP), after the sync, my appointment in Google Calendar shows up as "default". My Google Calendar is private, but I have other selected user's that can view it, therefore I would like to have to ability to have private appointments on my Calendar using this tool.

Can this be accomplished? I'm on gsync 0.9.3.5.

Additionally I have a couple of different calendars I subscribe to at Google-calendar. To get everything to my WiMo I have registered at goosync (and paid to get multiple calendar support) and I sync all google calendars with my WiMo-device using the goosync-application from my WiMo-device.

By doing this I have all calendars, contacts and tasks synced with my WiMo-device. This works bidirectional and everything.

worked great for us since we installed it in 07, running outlook 2003.
just upgraded the office to office/outlook 2007, and it stopped working. no errors reported by it.
we uninstalled it, downloaded the newest version, installed it and nothing, not working, no errors. it says it's syncing, and finishes, but nothing shows up on the calendar. Any ideas????????

Try CalGoo. It's free and a very good tool.

It consistently crashes Outlook 2007 configured for Exchange in cached mode. All support topics concerning this are immediately "archived". This product does not work.

The best sync I have found for a Blackberry to a destop via a remote connections is Office Accelerator by Baseline Data Systems, Inc. There web site is www.baselineconnect.com. It is a terrific product for any BlackBerry user.

I used to face that irritating issue of Outlook crashing while google sync tries to sync the calendars. I searched the calendar forums high and low and tried various things (reinstalling gsync, outlook and what not) but wasn't able to find a solution and decided to find some other free tool.

I tried SyncMyCal - but this only syncs -3 days to +3 days (free version).

I also tried OggSync, which also has date range limitations.

I now use gSyncit (www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/) and I'd recommend it to others.

It has more options than Google Calendar Sync and works without any issues (so far). The free version allows me to sync my office Outlook calendar with any of my Google calendars and not just the Default one. The paid version allows multiple calendars and has more features.

Regards,
Sabarish

I installed Google Calendar Sync for Outlook 0.9.3.5. While I assume that the UID and the Password between the client and Google servers is HTTPS encrypted, I have no idea whether the actual outlook calendar data moving between the server and client the traffic is encrypted. Any idea anyone ?

A lot of people advised me this tool-how to open ost in outlook 2003,as how as I remember program is free,it open ost file in Outlook 2003 and recover your data from these encrypted *.ost files,it allows to move *.ost files to *.pst ones fast and easy,it has two recovery options, first of all, you can move your *.ost file to a *.pst file, the last one can be easily opened by Microsoft Outlook or any other compatible email client.

Hoping that Google Sync will soon support Outlook 2002 also (including Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, and Notes all in one app). Yahoo! have had this down since 2007 with their AutoSync plug-in.

Is this ever going to support multiple calendars?

Christopher D. Heer said on June 10, 2009 3:19 PM PDT:

Doesn't reliably sync all appointments. For example, today I had 8 appointments, but only 2 of them actually sync'd. I'm only using one Outlook calendar and one Google calendar. There's no error message or anything...it's just missing most of my events.

If I can't be sure it's syncing everything, then I can't use it at all.

I use companion sync for Act software for my business calendar and Google calendar for personal stuff. I want both on my Blackberry. Is there a way to use google sync one way? Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

I'm also still waiting on multiple calendar support. I believe the blackberry and iphone apps do this, why can't they for the desktop?

Why is not Google responding to the obvious need to support multiple calendars !!!
