How to setup sync between MS Outlook 2016 and Google Apps

Since I have my [easyazon_link identifier=”B00HG2CQ4I” locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] Office 365 [/easyazon_link] subscription, my Office got upgraded into new release [easyazon_link identifier=”1119074770″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] Office 2016 [/easyazon_link]. All would be good except one thing. I am using Google Apps for my personal use and have Google Sync tool setup to sync my email, contacts, calendar between Google Apps and my previous version of [easyazon_link identifier=”0735669090″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] MS Outlook 2013 [/easyazon_link]. This has been now changed and broken as Google is not supporting MS Outlook 2016 with the Google Sync tool yet. If you are trying to install Google Sync and configure to work with [easyazon_link identifier=”B0148BYIAO” locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] MS Outlook 2016 [/easyazon_link] the tool will fail and simply it does not work.

I was glad to find a great tool today as I was researching how this can be fixed or when Google will release updated version of its Google Sync tool  to support the new MS Outlook 2016 client. Unfortunately per Google forums – there is no exact date or plan to release this tool very soon.

Thanks for smart people on this Earth 🙂 . I have found a tool – SyncFix that is not free but affordable. It costs $3.50 USD per license and license is bounded to the Google email you will use the tool sync between Google Apps and MS Outlook 2016. Installation is very simple and it takes few steps and you are in business and all works as expected. You will be able to sync your mail, calendar, contacts between Google Apps and [easyazon_link identifier=”B0114ZV22E” locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] MS Outlook 2016 [/easyazon_link]as before with previous version of [easyazon_link identifier=”B00JDMPLL4″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] MS Outlook 2013 [/easyazon_link].

What to do:

• Go to SyncFix and click on buy
• Add number of licenses you are about to purchase
• Pay for the purchase, create FREE account
• Download the SyncFix tool on your machine
• Click it and follow up instructions
• Enter your Google email address

• Wait for the install to finish

• Open MS Outlook 2016
• Browser will open and you need to sign into your Google account
• Confirm and allow SyncFix to access your Google account
• MS Outlook 2016 will be configured and the sync will start synchronization between Google Apps and [easyazon_link identifier=”B0114ZV22E” locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] MS Outlook 2016 [/easyazon_link]
• You are done – happy emailing 🙂

It is fantastic tool and for sure worth $3.50 USD instead of waiting for Google to release the tool.
