why is my outlook calendar not syncing with my s4

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. Unfortunately, it was fraught with problems.

AkrutoSync Samsung Smart Switch’s primary job is to help people move data from their old phone to their new Samsung phone. 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. You have a two options to sync your Galaxy S7 to Outlook: Samsung Smart Switch. 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. When I add an event in my Personal calendar on Outlook desktop, the event shows up correctly, but does not sync out to Google. 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. Similar to the original question, I'm using Outlook desktop with Office365 for work. Into this question, hoping you have an idea.
