Outlook App synchronizes through Microsoft Exchange (Office 365). So you must have
a subscription to this service. The sync is relatively slow, taking as long as 15 minutes
to update information to your PC. Data is stored in Microsoft Servers, and is subject to their
privacy terms, which allows them to provide "enhanced features" based on your data.
DejaOffice supports secure USB, Wi-Fi and DejaCloud Sync. DejaCloud will synchronize
all your changes in seconds.
