gsyncit.jpgA while back we showed you how to synchronize your Outlook and Google calendars using Google’s free tool. Unfortunately, it limits you to one calendar, and it doesn’t support contact syncing. Third-party utility gSyncit lets you sync multiple calendars as well as contacts.

Specifically, gSyncit can sync a single Outlook calendar to multiple Google calendars and vice-versa. It can sync events within a predefined date or day range, and it provides conflict-resolution options for times when a single event has been modified in both places. Plus, it can sync your Outlook contacts with Google Contacts, thus giving you Web access to your data and an online backup in case Outlook goes south.

The trial version of gSyncit limits you to one calendar and 20 contacts. It’ll cost you $10 to register the program and remove these limitations — a small price to pay, if you ask me. [via Office Tweaks]

    Tried it but got errors with date formats. Apparently program does not recognize my regional settings (Portuguese).

    Whoops! Bummer. Have you tried contacting the developer? I can see that being a problem, but perhaps they have a workaround...
