Google Adds Calendar Support for Outlook 2010

Google has just updated its Calendar Sync tool with support for Microsoft Outlook 2010, which will allow users to keep their primary Outlook calendar in sync with Google Calendar.

Google has offered one and two-way sync with Outlook via its Google Calendar Sync tool for quite some time, however, until today, that support has been limited to earlier versions of Outlook.

For now, there is still one caveat: Google Calendar Sync only works with the 32-bit version of Outlook 2010. Microsoft Office 2010 is available in both 32 and 64-bit, so be sure to check which version you have installed before getting started.

Outlook users can download the latest version of the sync tool, version 0.9.3.6 (download link) and then fill out the settings with sync type, frequency, and their Google login information.

If you already have Google Calendar Sync installed, you’ll need to download the new version to add Outlook 2010 support. Google also has help documents and a getting started guide if you run into any problems.
