Since I have my Office 365 subscription, my Office got upgraded into new release Office 2016. 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 MS Outlook 2013. 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 MS Outlook 2016 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.
MS Outlook 2016 will be configured and the sync will start synchronization between Google Apps and MS Outlook 2016 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.
