EXCHANGE PUBLIC FOLDER SYNC

Sync between Exchange Public Folders and Mobiles

Microsoft Exchange doesn’t natively sync items from Exchange public folders to mobile devices with Exchange ActiveSync. Our software is the third party app you need to automatically synchronize your Exchange public folders to your Outlook personal folders where it needs to be for viewing on mobile devices — iPhones, Androids, iPads, Blackberry etc. You can also sync new items made on your mobiles back to your Exchange folders easily. Use Add2Exchange to solve this need, whether your company deploys one brand or a mix of devices from different manufacturers. You can set up a one way sync, two way sync, or what we refer to as a full mesh sync.

CALENDAR SYNC

Sync Calendars

Synchronize appointments made in your public folder Calendar to each users’ personal Calendar automatically so users can view scheduled appointments and share calendars. For example, you have a dedicated individual in the office responsible for scheduling all appointments in your Company Calendar and you want your users to be able to view these appointments on their mobile devices when they’re away from the office. You may also want your mobile users to be able to create new appointments on their mobile devices and have a copy of these appointments sync to the public, and to each of the other users on the team to facilitate and streamline scheduling.

Centralized Team Calendars for Managers and Appointment Setters

Synchronize your users’ Calendar personal folders to a public folder and vice versa. Create a group calendar folder by synchronizing new appointments made in each of the users’ personal calendar folder to an Exchange public folder calendar so managers and appointment setters at the office can view everyone’s appointments in one consolidated view. For anyone who creates non-business related appointments in the personal folder, you can enable the Do Not Copy Private feature to keep calendar items marked as ‘private’ by the user from synchronizing. Use the Advanced Calendar Confidentiality feature to sync the appointment to block out the time for scheduling purposes, but hide the details of the appointment using a special character in the subject line.

Sync Multiple Calendars to your Executives, Managers, or Team Leader Folders

So you want to get a better handle of where your team or business associates are to better facilitate and coordinate team meetings when you’re away from the office. Whether you use multiple public folder calendars for each department or project, or would like a copy of your team’s personal calendars available for viewing on your mobile, you can set up a public to private or private to private sync.

Get a Handle on Meetings and Special Events

Why rely on meeting requests ‘Invite Attendees’ that can be missed or overlooked in someone’s inbox? Schedule your meetings with confidence. Post a meeting, holiday party or team building event on the corporate calendar and have it automatically appear on your users’ personal calendars.

Sync H/R Related Events to your Staff

CONTACT SYNC

Sync Contacts

So you keep all of your company contacts in a single Exchange public folder or in multiple public folders and you want each of your users to have any new or updated company contacts available on their mobile devices. You may have a ‘gatekeeper’ in the office responsible for adding and maintaining the company contacts and you just want to set up a one way sync to push these contacts to your users for viewing only. Or you may want to have a copy of the contacts your users create on their mobiles to personal folders to also sync back to the main contact folder, and / or to the other users’ on the team. It’s up to you!

Share and Protect Valuable Company Contacts

Synchronize your users’ Contacts created in their own Outlook personal folders or mobiles to an Exchange public folder. For those users who also add personal, non-business related contacts (family, friends, doctors) in the folder, simply enable the Do Not Copy Private feature for the user to mark the contact as private.

Sync Contacts from Multiple Exchange Folders to Users’ Personal Folders

If you have your company contacts in multiple contact public folders – separated by territory, region, industry or contact type (vendors, clients etc), you can synchronize multiple public folders of Contacts to each of your users’ Outlook personal folders. NOTE: For viewing on mobile devices, make sure the mobile devices you use support multiple folders.

Emergency Contact Lists

Sync your important vendor contact lists (telecom, utilities, insurance, legal, etc) to your designated team leaders for easy access in an emergency event or natural disaster.
