Just started testing an interesting software tool to synchronize your Google and Outlook Calendars

I had looked at this a little bit earlier this month and I didn't really find anything out there to do this. Google had taken away their Google sync application couple years ago and I wanted to be able to synchronize my Outlook calendar with my Google calendar to be able to take advantage to some of the other things that I've added around the house, namely the Amazon Echo I purchased the middle of last year.

Today I had a customer SP if I knew of any program that would perform this function so I decided to go back out and look again and lo and behold I ran into this application from Zissis Siantidi and can be found here

 

As all of the information that I have in looking at shows positive reviews and now that I have working on my system appears to work fairly well. It was extremely easy to set up and the directions on how to do so very straightforward. The only issue that I see so far is that you can only link one calendar from Outlook to one calendar in Google. There might be a situation where you might want to link multiple calendars in both locations so this would be something that would be nice to see happen.
If you decide to use this program sure to send some money their way to show your appreciation. It is always nice to do that for authors of shareware.
