So you have just installed Outlook and Google app sync (and of course eFiler), and are ready to get to work but you restart Outlook and are greeted with –

Cannot open your default email folders, gsync.dll

The solution is to add the Google App Sync directory to the PATH under the system variables as follows –

1. Right-click “My Computer” and choose properties
2. Click the “Advanced” tab
3. Click “Environment Variables”
4. In the lower box, double-click “Path”
5. For the variable value, leave what’s there, but at the end of the line add the following (the semi-colon at the beginning is supposed to be there):

;C:Program FilesGoogleGoogle Apps Sync (default for 32 bit Operating systems)
OR
;C:Program Files (x86)GoogleGoogle Apps Sync (Liklely if you are using a 64 bit OS)

6. Click “OK” until all of the dialogs are closed

7. Open Outlook
