Syncing Outlook Data With LG G5
When it comes to syncing the LG G5 with Outlook Calendar, the problem is you are using two types of programs from two different manufacturers. Because LG G5 runs Google’s Android OS, it can sync with Google Calendar and Contacts. For many, however, this is not an acceptable option because Google saves your private information in the cloud.
If you’re looking for an easy, private way to get your Outlook data on your new LG G5, without Google or the cloud, this article will guide you through moving your Outlook Contacts to Android.
AkrutoSync provides wireless, two-way transfer between LG G5 and Outlook. You can sync over the Internet or Wi-Fi; the Internet uses the phone’s data plan whereas Wi-Fi does not. However, both options for syncing LG G5 to Outlook keep your private data out of the cloud and do not require cables.
