Syncing Microsoft Outlook to Google Apps

There is only one good, complete solution I've found for synching Outlook to Google Apps. In other words:

  • Outlook Calendar to GCal
  • Outlook Contacts to GContacts
  • Outlook Tasks to GTasks
  • Outlook Notes to GDocs

That program is gSyncit, which can be found here:

It's not cheap, but it works (in my case).

If you also sync Outlook to the iPhone, make sure you check the settings in iTunes before you sync.

Sure, you can use Google's GCal sync

but it only syncs calendars.

You also can sync Outlook Tasks via Toodledo

and some third-party software it links to on its site. In my case, though, the syncing didn't quite work (but maybe that was my fault; still, I wasn't able to fix it).
