How to sync Outlook and Google Calendars, in less than 1 minute

Imagine this: you’re a freelancer working with multiple clients, each of which requires you to use Outlook and Google Calendars. You get invited to a bunch of meetings and before you know it, you have a meeting conflict. How did this happen?

A team member invited you to a meeting on your work Google Calendar, but you have a meeting on your other Outlook calendar.

The first thought that comes to your mind is: How can I sync my calendars? It should be easy, right?

The problem

Most of the articles regarding syncing Outlook with Google Calendars recommend sharing them with each other, which is a 13 steps process, just for syncing one Outlook calendar with another Google Calendar.

This is the current process of syncing an Outlook Calendar with another Google Calendar:

Now, if you want to sync the Google Calendar with the Outlook calendar, you'll have to follow the same process again.

Imagine having to sync 3 Calendars... you get the idea.

If you still want to sync your Outlook and Google Calendars this way, there are a couple of more problems:

1. If your team uses “Find a Time” feature of Google Calendar to schedule meetings, they won’t be able to see events outside of your Primary calendar. This often leads to meeting conflicts across calendars.

2. You will have very little control over the privacy of imported calendars. Workspace administrators may be able to see events and details for those events from imported calendars. This is a deal-breaker for a lot of people.
