It's about the time to share some new IT stuffs with you guys
Someone has recently asked me about how can he pull Gmail contacts and calendars into Outlook?
Of course, you can do it!
Since Gmail is a cloud service provided by Google. Thus, we should be looking at if Google's Google Apps Sync or Google Calendar Sync (service is ended now as 2014 August 1) for Microsoft Outlook provides such feature? However, there is still some limitation for Google's gadgets to work with Outlook for such integration.
Google only provides Google Apps customers with the famous ActiveSync capability rather than regular Gmail account.
Sync'ing contacts and calendars from Gmail to outlook is a very simple and straight piece of mind that everyone likes to have. Nevertheless, to both Google and Microsoft, this is where the money is. How can they let you do it so easily and not making any profit off you?
EVO Collaborator for Outlook is an outlook plugin for CardDAV and CalDAV.
Let's look at ECO's size, which is only 3MB. Amazingly, when Outlook and ECO work together, Outlook can break the barrier from both MS and Google to sync both contacts and calendars with Google's CardDAV and CalDAV or the other way around.
What are CardDAV and CalDAV?
CardDAV and CalDAV are standard protocol API by IETF's RFC for contacts and calendars. Google is using the contacts API and the calendar API to take care of contacts and calendars at the backend to service their customers' needs on such information.
How do I do it?
It is easier than a breeze with ECO. Simply, you download ECO from EVO's official site.
hk.evo-mailserver.com.tw/download.php
Download Link (when you install it, please log in as administrator)
Open Outlook and click on EVO's page at the top banner, click on "configure profile" and add "Gmail" with filling in needed info.
Because GMail uses OAUTH 2.0, you'll see an OAUTH authentication window during the account detection, just authorize it and continue.
When finished, any newly added contacts, calendar and tasks under Gmail folder with be sync'ing in a bi-directional fashion. Any items that were added on your Android phone will be sync'd into Outlook too.
Besides what we just talked about, as you know that CardDAV and CalDAV are written according industrial standards, therefore you can expect they work with iCloud, Yahoo!, Zimbra, OS X Server And AOL for the same tasks.
