Google has released a free tool called Google Calendar Sync for users to sync between their Microsoft Outlook calendar and Google Calendar. No more missing meeting when you have no access to office PC.
The windows only tool that allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar. You can choose the sync direction and the frequency.
The main advantage of sync between calendar is that you can access your calendar events anytime anywhere on Google Calendar (as long as you have Internet access). The new events you added on Google Calendar when you are not in office will be added to office PC’s Microsoft Outlook Calendar after sync.
How to use Google Calendar Sync?
- Download Google Calendar Sync (windows only)
- Install the tool.

Google Calendar Sync will stay in your Windows System Tray, and automatically sync your calendar on sync time interval. You can also right-click on the calendar icon to sync manually or access Google Calendar Sync Settings window.

Any tool to make rainlendar sync with google calender?
@aHfUi: rainlendar is good calendar tool, I wonder if anyone come out a tool to sync it with google calendar too.
I heard about this but it doesn’t came to my head so much.
A really cool software for those that use both tools. Indispensable indeed.
A very useful time management tool.
Cool software. I think I’m going to give it a try.
Its great to see Google recognize that their users want a sync to a desktop platform and this is a very good start. The sync itself works quite well, many of the people at our office have given it a whirl to see how it all goes.
Unfortunately it does not let you sync multiple calendars or calendars that have been shared with you. You can only sync your default calendar. But hey if someone needs that thats where the 3rd party suppliers come in. We offer a product (Connect) that allows this and there are other companies out there who do this as well, all you have to do is search around a bit.
Cheers!
