Today, we’ve got a piece of big news for all the Outlook.com users and it will definitely serve them well. So, the thing is ‘Microsoft is going to integrate Gmail, Google Drive, and Calendar into Outlook.com webmail client and the integration has quietly been tested with some accounts.

Microsoft and Google are two big names today and both have been competitors for years. However, before a few days, Microsoft Outlook.com webmail service seems to be warming up to some widely used Google services including Gmail, G Drive, and Calendar.

On Wednesday a Twitter user tweeted a screenshot to show a new feature in Outlook.com to integrate Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar with Outlook.com account. This feature is slowly rolling out for some Outlook.com users and Microsoft does not disclose anything about this yet. Soon Outlook.com users will be able to simply link their Google account to Outlook.com account just after doing a quick setup. This amazing feature will allow users to interact and share content between Outlook.com and Google account from the same panel.

A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the services integration test and stated. “We always work for new ideas for delivering the best email experience to our clients. Now we’re testing service integration with a few Outlook.com user accounts and gathering their feedback.

Outlook.com account integration with Google Drive will support all types of files and documents as well. This will make easier for users to attach Google Drive files to both Outlook and Gmail emails. At this moment, you cannot add more than one Gmail account and if you’ll switch accounts, it will update the whole page. All the users who have subscribed to Microsoft Office service and using Outlook.com can add other services email accounts to manage emails from one place.

It is not cleared why Microsoft and Google services are integrating into Outlook.com. But, it might be a move to combine business and personal emails. Till now Office 365 business users were able to integrate Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar in their desktop Outlook app and now Outlook.com users can do this also.
