In order to set up Outlook for use with your work email account on a staff device, you will need to set up a Google Workspace Sync user.



To get started, head to your desktop.



Click the "Start" icon on your Taskbar:



In the search bar at the top of the Start Menu start typing "Set up a Google Workspace Sync user" and click on the App:


You likely won't have to type the full app name, you can click it as soon as it appears.


Enter your Email address and click Continue:


This will open your default browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox etc.) in which you can complete the following steps.


Sign in to Google, then scroll down and click Allow to give Outlook access to your account:


Remember to use your work email and password when connecting Outlook. Since you're using Google, you won't have any additional passwords to remember.


Click Create profile without ticking any boxes:



Click Start Microsoft Outlook®:


This will close the Set Up wizard and open Outlook's Choose Profile window.


In the newly opened window, click OK:




Upon launching, Outlook will begin syncing your Google Contacts, Calendar and Mail.


Depending on the volume of data that requires syncing, this could take some time. Feel free to close this window, as it will continue syncing in the background.

You may like to uncheck Open this window when Microsoft Outlook® starts, as this sync will occur every time Outlook is launched, but is unnecessary to be notified of this each time.


The final step in this process is to increase the amount of storage Outlook is allowed to use. To do this, click Show hidden items > Right click Google Workspace > Set mailbox size limit...



In the newly opened window, click Unlimited (slowest) > OK.
