Terrapin6908 Jumping into this question, hoping you have an idea.  Similar to the original question, I'm using Outlook desktop with Office365 for work.  To separate my personal and work calendars, I created a calendar on the Google/Gmail site and followed the steps to link the Gmail/Google calendar as an "Other Calendar" in Outlook desktop (shows as "Personal"), but it only syncs in one direction, from Google to Outlook desktop, not vice versa.  When I add an event in my Personal calendar on Outlook desktop, the event shows up correctly, but does not sync out to Google. 

 

This is only a problem on Outlook desktop; Outlook Web syncs properly -- an event created in the Personal calendar correctly shows up on both GMail/Google calendar and Outlook desktop. 

 

iPhone calendar also works correctly - an event created on the Personal calendar shows up correctly in GMail/Google and Outlook calendars both online and on Outlook desktop.

 

It's somewhat of a drag to remember to have to keep Gmail open in a browser (or Outlook Web) just to properly schedule a personal event.

 

Any thoughts?
