Google Calendar Sync End-of-Life Prompts Users to Find Another Solution to Sync Calendar with Devices

According to Google, Google Calendar Sync will no longer sync events on August 1, 2014. Users who switch to AkrutoSync™ will not only be able to sync Outlook calendar across all of their devices, but also contacts, tasks and notes.

This move removes personal data from Google’s cloud because they’ll be able to directly sync between Outlook and their Windows Phone or Android devices. Synchronization occurs through Wi-Fi or the Internet’s SSL-encrypted connection. All data synchronized through AkrutoSync is never shared with Akruto or any cloud services.

“Customers today carry their data everywhere they go, but they’re also concerned about privacy,” says George Tatar, founder and CEO of Akruto, Inc. “Using AkrutoSync, Google Calendar Sync and Outlook users can continue to automatically, cloudlessly and securely sync calendars, contacts and tasks with all their devices.”

A full version of AkrutoSync for Windows PC is available to try for seven days at no cost from http://www.akruto.com/get-akruto-sync/. The company is offering $5 off the regular price of $29.95 for AkrutoSync through August 15, 2014 to help ease the changeover.

To continue using the software, customers just pay a one-time cost of $24.95 and enter the license. A license includes installing AkrutoSync on one Windows PC and using it with unlimited compatible tablets, handsets and smartphones.
