As the world’s favorite mail client, Microsoft Outlook is used in many scenarios, equally by students, small business sector and large companies all over the globe. It is perfect for organizing your mail, keeping track of calendar entries and works fine as a contact manager too. In larger organizations Outlook is often a part of a larger collaboration system. The Exchange Server – Outlook partnership enables co-workers to share Outlook folders between them and that makes them work faster and more efficiently. But what if I have to share Outlook only between two machines, e.g. a desktop and a laptop? Do I have to invest money in expensive server-based platforms in order to synchronize only two PCs? Obviously not. Internet is full of various third party solutions designed for Outlook synchronization. If we take a closer look at them, most of these applications are outdated and do not support the latest editions of Outlook. The other ones are simply too complicated for a person who is not an IT specialist. Luckily a brand new solution has been developed by CodeTwo recently. It is called CodeTwo Outlook Sync, it’s for free, works with all the latest versions of Outlook and even a child would know how to use it.  What is more, there’s no doubt CodeTwo Outlook Sync is a high-quality software, since it was developed by a company that holds several Microsoft certificates and is well experienced in creating reliable Outlook add-ins.

CodeTwo Public Folders is a versatile collaboration tool for Microsoft Outlook users that enables sharing all Outlook items across local network and between multiple PCs. It allows companies of small and mid sector to save a lot of money on IT services, since no server deployment and maintenance is required in this case. For less than $500, an average office can get a professional collaboration system that streamlines teamwork in Microsoft Outlook and makes every employee work faster and more efficient. See the video below to get a grip of how it works: In this article we will cover only a small selection of possibilities this program gives you and we will explain how to improve project management and work efficiency while working on tasks in Microsoft Outlook. Step 1: Arrange the folders in Outlook Let's start with building the right Outlook folder tree structure. As you can see in the picture above CodeTwo Public Folders lets you create public folders in the exact same way as it is done with private items. Every folder appearing in the C2Public Folders section is by default visible to all users in the network. If the access rights are not changed by the administrator, users can read, modify and delete public folders whenever they want. What's more all changes are synchronized with other machines in real time. Step 2: Assign smaller tasks to team members In this example we have split the whole office into two teams: Team Green and Team Red. Every team has its tasks grouped in projects and assigned to team members. The advantage of this method is that every project can be divided into smaller stages (tasks). This organizes teamwork in a better way and results in good job performance and quality. Step 3: Keep a diary of your work Thanks to CodeTwo Public Folders team members and managers can monitor the progress of the given project, since all changes are replicated to other machines in real time. Team members only need to update the status of a given assignment and keep a log of everything what's completed within the task (as shown below). Note that all data is synchronized together with the task, including documents and other files attached by users. Step 4 (optional) Set access rights for public folders in Outlook This collaboration model can also be enriched with access rights set up allowing team leaders to decide who can view, edit or delete Outlook items synchronized with CodeTwo Public Folders. These settings are easily accessible from the machine equipped with the Syncing Master module - a sort of brain in every CodeTwo Public Folders network.

We wouldn't be ourselves if we hadn't fixed an issue with a 3rd party product and then shared it with the world. Many of our tools were initially created solely for our own needs, tested by us in a live environment as we grew from a small business to what we are now, and then turned into products that many of you use today. So... here we come with another tool for Outlook and iPhone/iPad aficionados. We've heard from our fellow users that the iCloud feature from Apple™, which is meant to synchronize Outlook with iCloud, iPhone, iPad and other iCloud-compatible devices, is a great tool but does not really sync the stuff that you already have in Outlook but creates another set of folders. To delve into the problem, we started using iCloud Control Panel together with Outlook for our own needs and soon we realized that our Outlook synchronization algorithms can quickly fix the issue. That's how we came up with this: CodeTwo Sync for iCloud enables you to automatically synchronize Microsoft Outlook folders with iCloud folders - the rest is in done by iCloud itself. The program will let you seamlessly synchronize Outlook calendar, tasks and contacts with your smartphone. And, as always, it's easier and faster than you can imagine.
