It depends on what you mean by “syncing” and what you mean by google and microsoft’s “free space”.
If “free space” means full hosting, Google and Microsoft both <https://cloud.google.com/free> offer <https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/free/> some free services. These can be used <https://www.mylifeorganized.net/downloads/files/MyLifeOrganized%20User%27s%20Guide.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A903%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C57%2C663%2C0%5D> to host a FTP server, which allows (for the most part) full syncing . Having said that, the Sync service is a much better way to accomplish this use case. If “free space” means webmail, gmail and hotmail/outlook can both serve as a basis for partial syncing. MLO can <https://www.mylifeorganized.net/downloads/files/MyLifeOrganized%20User%27s%20Guide.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A910%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C57%2C615%2C0%5D> add/view tasks to/from a google calendar, but not it’s tasks list. MLO can <https://www.mylifeorganized.net/downloads/files/MyLifeOrganized%20User%27s%20Guide.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A910%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C57%2C615%2C0%5D> add/view tasks to/from outlook’s tasks list, but only if you have microsoft’s desktop client <https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/outlook-for-windows/9NRX63209R7B>. On a more personal note: With respect to the syncing webmail task lists, I do think this has quite a bit of potential, even though hierarchy is supported by neither google’s calendar nor outlook’s tasks, and even though MLO’s present implementation is limited. It would probably be a good way to interact with tasks on the go, while still planning and interacting with tasks at a more granular level on a desktop/phone (probably w/ sync). *I’m a longtime user, and I’m writing this as my first forum post mainly because this topic piqued a longstanding wish of mine. As a thunderbird user with outlook accounts, I am sadly unable to experience any of the existing (gmail or outlook) integrations. I wish that CalDAV <http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc4791.html#rfc.section.B> was a supported synchronisation option; it would allow MLO tasks to be sent to / drawn from the tasks lists and calendars of most major webmail services and mail clients.* *This <https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/GHjo85v-R5U/m/vIxJKAYsAAAJ> has <https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/7PNjt2c31rk/m/0LSSyXLuAwAJ> been <https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/B-7uZqxrjfU/m/utU-GlkUBgAJ> suggested <https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/S60Gss199fM/m/kL3CzTKINXEJ> for <https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/KlFXcesG8j8/m/rznWbSizG4IJ> a <https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/NIpI_2A0kis/m/iDc8MFlOCQAJ> while <https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/Hq6ADZdVBwc/m/lOR3iI9lAQAJ>, but I think this might be worth considering again with the recent revival of thunderbird and the increasing reemergence of non-gmail/outlook email solutions.* On Tuesday, 7 November 2023 at 11:27:30 UTC-5 Nick Clark wrote: > I thing that cloud sync is a database and server to allow the different > platforms to sync, so you'd have to get your cloud provider to install the > server and supporting systems.
