Syncing Google Apps with MS Outlook 2013 "Click to Run" (AKA Microsoft Office 365 online) - Workaround
Are you using Microsoft Office 365 2013 viz their monthly subscription? If you are a fan of of Google Apps and Google Apps Sync as well, you have likely figured out it is not supported with Microsoft's Subscription model: MS Outlook 2013 365 (click to run).It make's sense that you might. If you're a fan of Outlook, but see the writing on the wall in all things Google, their wacky little feuds (e.g. Apps Sync runs fine on all other versions of office), in my opinion have been "bad for business"... small business that is, who enjoy the reduced pricing and added benefit of easy deployment in order to use the popular, business standard (for now) Microsoft Office products (Outlook in particular) viz a low monthly subscription for "Desktop" use, who are also intrigued in the cloud based Google Apps and it's many attractive qualities: easy of use, user familiarity, scope of applications and the ability to work on nearly every device out there.
For those folks who just don't want to give up Outlook, I have included a link to a "workaround" that will enable you to do sync Outlook with Google Apps Sync.
Like any workaround while not "officially supported" it is is reliable, and from everything I've seen, seems to be the only free option available.

This author does however, attest to the fact that it worked for him without issue for several months, and would not post it otherwise. I monitored this group as they worked through it, and I'm happy someone posted and saved me the steps. I am doing it again currently, after a fresh install
Enjoy!
