Google Calendar Now Syncs With Microsoft Outlook
Google has released a new Windows-only app that syncs your Google Calendar data to and from your Microsoft Outlook calendar. The new two-way syncing in Google Calendar Sync, as the new software is known, should be welcome news for business users and anyone else tied to Outlook.
Google Calendar Sync will also come in handy for those with Windows Mobile devices, since there’s now an easy way to get your schedule from Google Calendar to your phone via Outlook.
The one downside is that only your primary Google Calendar is available for syncing, but we imagine that’s a temporary limitation that will likely disappear in a future update.
As you would expect, you can control the synchronization frequency — the software adds an icon to your system tray — and you can also make Google Calendar Sync a one-way operation, if that fits your workflow better.
Google Calendar Sync is Windows-only and can be downloaded from Google. Also worth noting, for the Blackberry fans among us, there’s a similar syncing tool Google Sync (BlackBerry), which will keep your Blackberry up-to-date with Google Calendar.
