Introduction
As technology advances, it becomes easier to manage multiple calendars. Many people use both Outlook and Google Calendar, but what if you could sync them together? In this article, we will discuss how to sync your Outlook calendar with Google Calendar in the year 2024.
Why Sync Your Calendars?
Syncing your calendars allows you to have all your events and appointments in one place. This means you won’t miss any important meetings or events because you forgot to check one calendar. Additionally, if you use different devices, syncing your calendars ensures that you have the same information on all your devices.
How to Sync Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar
There are two ways to sync your Outlook calendar with Google Calendar. The first method involves exporting your Outlook calendar and importing it into Google Calendar. The second method involves using a third-party app. Let’s take a look at both methods:
Method 1: Export and Import
The first step is to export your Outlook calendar. To do this, open Outlook and go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export. Choose “Export to a file” and select “Outlook Data File (.pst)”. Select the calendar you want to export and choose a location to save the file.
Next, open Google Calendar and go to Settings > Import & Export. Choose “Select file from your computer” and select the file you exported from Outlook. Choose the Google Calendar you want to import the events into and click “Import”.
Your Outlook calendar events should now be synced with your Google Calendar.
Method 2: Third-Party App
If you prefer not to export and import your calendar, you can use a third-party app. There are many apps available, but one popular option is Sync2. This app allows you to sync your Outlook calendar with Google Calendar in real-time.
First, download and install Sync2 on your computer. Open the app and select “Google” as your sync service. Follow the prompts to connect your Google account and choose the Outlook calendar you want to sync. Sync2 will automatically sync your calendars in real-time.
