The organization we support only uses Gmail, not Outlook. A director is receiving scheduled events from a web-based platform via an Outlook calendar, though. Is there a way to export and sync these events automatically with her Gmail calendar? We cannot seem to access an .ics or .csv file from her Outlook events calendar.

    Hi @Beth Scelza,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum.

    As of now, automatic syncing from Outlook to Google Calendar is not supported in New Outlook.

    Google Calendar cannot automatically sync with an New Outlook or Classic Outlook calendar. Microsoft official document states that exporting a Classic Outlook calendar produces only a snapshot, and future updates will not sync to Google Calendar.

    The only Microsoft‑supported method is:

    1. In Classic Outlook, open the Calendar, and select the calendar you want to export.
    2. Click File > Save Calendar. save a caleandar ics file
      1. Use the default name or type a name for the iCalendar file in the File name box.
      You’ll see a summary showing the calendar name, date range, and detail level next to More Options. If you’re satisfied with the summary, jump to step 7, otherwise continue with step 4.
    3. Click More Options.
    4. Click the Date Range arrow, and choose the amount of calendar data you want to include in the iCalendar file or click Specify dates to enter a custom date range.

    Tip: If you choose a large date range or select Whole calendar, you might create a large iCalendar file, which can take a while to generate.

    save calendar - choose details

    1. Click the Detail arrow and, choose the amount of detail you want to show.
    2. Click OK, and then click Save. If your calendar is empty, you’ll see a message giving you the option to cancel saving the iCalendar file.
    3. From here you can import your file Google Calendar: Log onto your Google Calendar account.
    4. At the top of the page, click the Settings wheel > Settings. google calendar - settings - settings
    5. Along the left side of the screen, select Import & export.
    6. Click Select file from your computer.
    7. Pick the file that you created when you exported your calendar from Outlook, and then click Open.
    8. If you have multiple Google calendars, use the Add to calendar drop-down box to pick the calendar you want to receive your imported items, and then click Import.

    Click the back arrow at the top, left corner of the screen to return to your calendar.

    But changes made later in Outlook will not sync automatically.

    The Microsoft Support page explicitly confirms that exporting an Outlook calendar is a one‑time export

    To sync events from an Outlook calendar to a Google Calendar, you can use the Teams Meeting add-on in Google Marketplace to schedule Teams meetings directly from Google Calendar. However, for exporting events from Outlook to Google Calendar, there is currently no direct method to automatically sync them if you cannot access an .ics or .csv file from the Outlook events calendar.

    One possible workaround is to manually import the events into Google Calendar if you can access the Outlook calendar through another method that allows exporting, or by creating a new event in Google Calendar based on the Outlook events.

    For organizations using Microsoft Teams, syncing between Google Workspace and Microsoft Teams is supported, but personal Google Calendar syncing with Teams is not available. You may want to explore other integration solutions that can facilitate syncing between Outlook and Google Calendar.
