Hi everyone
I've been trying to keep my Google Calendar and Outlook calendar in sync, and honestly it's becoming a bit of a headache. I spent a good part of the weekend trying different settings and workarounds. Everything looks fine at first, then a day or two later something goes wrong. Sometimes events disappear, sometimes I end up with duplicates, and it's hard to know which calendar is actually correct. A few weeks ago I even missed an important appointment because an event that was showing up originally had vanished from my personal calendar. Since then I've been double-checking everything, which kind of defeats the purpose of having synced calendars in the first place. I looked into CalDAV and a few other sync methods, but most of the guides I found seem either outdated or written for people who already know exactly what they're doing. I can usually figure this sort of thing out, but this one has been surprisingly frustrating. For those of you using both Google and Microsoft calendars, have you found a setup that's actually reliable over the long term? I'm not looking for a workaround that needs constant maintenance or breaks after every update.
I'd be interested to hear what has worked for you.

  • The rules are there if you need them.
Nothing more reliable than my good ol’ paper calendar. If it ain’t ‘synced,’ it’s only my fault. ;)
