Synchronizing New Outlook with Google Calendar

Anonymous

On my PC I use the Outlook 365 calendar.

Unfortunately, the Outlook application on Android is not convenient for me, and therefore on my mobile I use an application that reflects the Gmail calendar.

I synchronize between the two calendars using a third-party program called Sync2Cloud that is on the personal computer and makes sure that every entry made on one device also appears on the other device.

I took your advice and tried the new Outlook. After a few minutes of adjustment and getting used to it, I find it very pleasant to use.

The problem is that it doesn't synchronize with the Gmail calendar. I checked with Sync2Cloud support, and they confirmed that indeed their software does not work with the new Outlook.

I had no choice but to go back to the old Outlook as synchronization is critical for me.

Do you have another solution?

I need a registration made in Outlook on the computer to appear in Gmail on Android and vice versa. As mentioned, Outlook for Android is not a solution.

I would love a solution that would allow me to use the new Outlook.

    I have the exact same issue. The sync with Google Calendar worked perfectly until a few days ago. Now it just lists my Google account, but no calendars appear under it. I have re-started, logged out and logged in, etc., etc.

    Guys, it's finally just started working on Chrome! I refreshed my browser, then slowly toggle the arrow to the left of the synced Gmail calendar in MS outlook. Be patient and eventually your calendar should load. Hopefully it works for you all too.

    The problem has something to do with the Outlook account flagged "This Computer Only". The solution was surprisingly simple.

    After trying nearly everything, I think I've found the solution to getting all Google based calendar activities to sync with Outlook, desktop version. I did the following, though some of the steps may not be necessary. For those items that may not be necessary, I've so indicated.

    1. Uninstalled both Microsoft mail and New Outlook. (may not be necessary)
    2. Created the Google calendars on Outlook.com (may not be necessary)
    3. Copied Google secret iCal address and pasted it into Outlook's Internet Calendar.
    4. I also had an account with no private/secret iCal address. For this I used the public address and after trying multiple times managed to successfully integrate it into Outlook's Internet Calendar.
    5. The only reason that steps 4 and 5 were necessary, was that the calendar must appear at least as "Other Calendar" or under My calendar.
    6. I exported the PST files from my old computer, and imported them into Outlook on the new computer. (may not be necessary)
    7. I moved the calendars up from Other Calendar to My Calendar
    8. Finally, and this was what changed everything, It is the single most important step. I opened the Outlook embedded calendar, the one flagged as "(This Computer Only)" and created a calendar invitation by selecting one of the Google email accounts as the origin. Upon sending the invitation from each Google email account their associated calendars were then automatically flagged by Outlook as "(This Computer Only)". From that point forward ALL of my calendar activities have been correctly sync'ing with Google.
    9. Lastly, I tested all of the accounts with each other, and ... voila, problem fixed.

    If I chose to, I think that now I could go back and delete the "Internet Calendar" data files in Account Settings, because I believe the calendar data is now part of the corresponding account PST.

    If anyone knows why this worked, I'd be curious to find out.

    Thanks and best of luck!!

    For most it seems it's been a Microsoft bug that's been fixed a few weeks ago.

    The answer given here by Mr Samuel is not correct or applicable. It in fact is an exact quote of what is already on the Microsoft support site, and it clearly states that this method does NOT support bidirectional syncing, which the user has stated he requires, and the article further indicates that if that is what the user requires, they should use a third-party app such as Sync2Cloud, which the OP specifically stated he is already using. Sync2Cloud, however, is not working for New Outlook.

    Therefore the response I am referencing here is NOT an acceptable answer to the problem posted.
