Calendar Swamp reader Matt Sweeney just tipped me off:
Google Calendar Sync is now available. Two-way sync between Outlook and Google Calendar earns Google
+1 SwampDrain point. It looks like a great complement to the third-party service GooSync, which takes care of syncing Google Calendar with mobile phones.
It's a start, but until it can sync to a google calendar besides the default one, it's not much use to me. I only use outlook at work, so I want my work events in their own separate calendar on google calendar and I certainly don't want the events on my default calendar (which are all personal) synced to work.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as this issue is mentioned in the second paragraph of the getting started page for calendar sync, I'm guessing Google know it's an issue and are working on it.
At last.
ReplyDeleteI can use the Calendar I wish to use at home and the calendar I am forced to use at work.
Just installed it and it is very simple which is good. Would like a few more advanced features implemented over time though.
For example multiple calendars within one outlook account. And the ability to link the different calendars to the different google calendars within one account.
Thank for pointing this out.
have you looked at syncmycal:
