How can I synchronise my desktop Outlook calendar with my Google Calendar (Outlook -> Google)?
I saw the question Free tool for Synchronizing Google Contacts and Calendar with Outlook, but the solution that was suggested there is no longer available - Google Sync End of Life.
There are tools that required a payment, like SyncMyCal, gSyncit and OggSync, but I am looking for a free / open source solution.
One can download Google sync, but when trying to use it there's an error:
For now, I use OggSync to synchronise, but as a freeware it allows to synchronise manually only, not automatically, so I have to remember to synchronise after every change.
I checked Mozilla Sunbird, but I couldn't find any relative posts on how to synchronise Outlook -> Google using it.
Just to be clear: I'm not looking for software; I am looking for a solution. What can I do if sometimes software is a solution?
You can try the free utility Calendar Sync plus. it syncs outlook to google and vice versa. http://calendarsyncplus.codeplex.com/

Sometimes the solution is that what you want doesn't exist and needs to be created. Of course my research also indicates that Oggsync is automatic. There is also a simple solution. Migrate to the Business suite of Google Apps. – Ramhound – 2013-03-07T11:42:19.983
I've accepted it since it was the only answer and the question was closed. If you have a better answer, i will accept yours.. – Kuf – 2013-03-07T11:55:02.273
I don't do product suggestions since they are not on topic. There might be a few exceptions where I do suggest a tool, I only do that because, the tool unique enough its worth to make an exception ( i.e. CCLeaner, SpinRite, ect ). – Ramhound – 2013-03-07T11:59:56.283
I'm not looking for a product per say, I'm looking for a solution. I'm a developer and I don't mind working to achieve this. The thing is , I tried googling with no luck, so I hoped that i will find here someone who managed to find a solution. – Kuf – 2013-03-07T12:06:56.753
If you are only asking for a solution, you should remove your requestion for free and open source solutions, since that would be a software recomendation. As for a solution I would simply roll out my own software the downloads my Google Calandar and imports into my Outlook Calandar using CalDav format myself since both formats are well documented. The exporting of the Outlook Calendar would be done with a plugin and OAuTH access to my Google Account. – Ramhound – 2013-03-07T12:25:15.647
4I'm looking for syncing the other way (Outlook -> Google) but anyhow, i gave up on the hope of getting serious answer on this forum. Very simple question, many that can gain from it, but i spend all this time just to ask the same in a manner that please everyone. never mind than. Will continue doing it manually. – Kuf – 2013-03-07T13:14:24.733
Only trying to help you ask the right question one that can be answerd and isn't just a list of possible solutions. As I said I would sync my Outlook Calendar through the use of a plugin and OAuth 2.0 to my Google Account. – Ramhound – 2013-03-07T14:07:17.183
