Syncing Outlook Calendar Events to Google Calendar

Question

Good morning everyone,

I am having a peculiar issue with syncing calendar events between outlook, my phone, and Google calendar. I have been using Android Sync to import all of my outlook calendar events onto my phone and have not had any issues with syncing that way. Android sync gives me the option to sync to a local calendar on my phone or to sync to my Google account. Either way it appears that only a local sync is completed. If I sync to my Google account, the calendar events show up on my phone, and are readable/editable, but as soon as Google calendar refreshes (usually via reload on PC) all of the events are removed from my phone.

I am trying to convert from using a local copy of my calendar to a shared copy so that other employees can have access to my schedule.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure, as an alternative: An alternative to the google calendar outlook calendar sync issue is as follows:

1. Ensure that you export all outlook calendar into google calendar once only (ensure that you use your google calendar not the phone calendar for all appointments or change them so that they are)

2. Use google calendar to create and update all events

3. To then use outlook: export from google calendar and then import this calendar into a NEW outlook calendar

4. Rename the new calendar in Outlook to today's date (deleting or hiding other outlook calendars)

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on a regular basis , deleting the out of date ones from outlook
