gSyncit – Many users rely on their calendars to remember important dates, like birthdays, business meetings and other similar events. Some of the most important e-mail services offer this functionality either integrated with the client or as a standalone feature.
Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook are among the most representative examples of this kind and the communication between them can be realized, but only if you are using some dedicated utilities that can transfer details from one application or service to another.
Such a tool is gSyncit, a powerful add-in for Outlook, that incorporates seamlessly with Microsoft’s e-mail and calendar service and software solutions. By adding an extra entry in the application’s menu, this extension will make it possible for you to keep in sync all your personal data.
To be more precise, with the help of gSyncit you can take care of contacts, calendar events, notes or tasks. All of those mentioned above can be synchronized with Google, while only part of them, at different levels, are available for coordination with other services like Dropbox, Toodledo, Simplenote or Evernote.
The main focus when it comes to gSyncit is the configuration area, where you will be able to customize in great detail the communication parameters for each service. When accessing the dedicated ‘Settings’ area from Outlook, it is also possible to glance at the compatibilities of various data categories with the online services, because only for the supported functions you can adjust the sync options.
Seen on the whole, gSyncit is one of those add-ins that users who depend on their digital agenda must have. Nonetheless, the feature set could definitely receive some improvements, especially insofar as the two way syncing is concerned.
Features of gSyncit
• Sync with multiple Outlook profiles and service accounts (e.g. multiple Google accounts).
• Automatically matches entries to prevent duplicate items when syncing.
• Automatically sync items on a regular interval, between certain hours of the day, and/or when Outlook starts/exits.
• Detailed sync options to control how and what you want to sync.
• Keyword and Outlook category filters to control the Outlook content you want to sync.
New Features in v4
GOOGLE API PLATFORM UPDATE : Rearchitected all gSyncit Google syncing operations to use the latest Google API’s providing future compliance with the Google platform. This was a substantial effort that took months of development. The entire sync process for syncing calendars, contacts, tasks and notes was rebuilt from the ground up to provide batch operations and more efficient syncing using the latest Google services with a focus on making the sync faster.
TWO-WAY NOTE SYNC WITH GMAIL: Added the ability to sync Outlook notes to a Gmail mailbox for two-way note syncing between Outlook and Gmail notes.
UPDATED TIME ZONE SUPPORT: Syncing with Google calendar now supports using the time zone field that can be assigned to the event start/end times. Time zones are no longer limited to recurring events.
GOOGLE OPEN AUTHENTICATION SUPPORT: Migrated all Google syncing operations to use Open Authentication for better security and compliance with Google platform requirements.
UPDATED GOOGLE CONTACT DISTRIBUTION LIST SYNC: Rebuilt the entire sync logic used to sync Outlook distribution lists with Google groups and includes automatically creating one-off contacts in Gmail that exist in the Outlook distribution list and not in the main Outlook contacts list being synced.
UPDATED GOOGLE ITEM MATCHING: Improved the logic used to match exiting items to avoid duplication.
Other enhancements …
FASTER TOOLDEDO/INFORMANT SYNC: Migrated Toodledo and Informant sync to use our new caching engine that allows for faster syncing.
SIMPLIFIED INTERFACE: Interface revisions to make it easier to configure the Google sync by deprecating many legacy options.
MICROSOFT .NET v4.0: Migrated all legacy components to the latest Microsoft .Net v4.0 compliant releases for future compatibility with Windows and .Net releases. v3 used the .Net v4.0 runtime but still had to reference some v3.5 components due to lack of available v4.0 components from all third parties.
TOODLEDO API v3: Updated gSyncit to use the new Toodledo v3 API which includes support for Open Authentication for improved account security and ICAL RRULE support for recurring tasks for improved recurring task support.
