Shared Contact Application for Gmail to Sync Contacts in Outlook

Usually, the users who want to sync their contacts in Outlook, use either “G suite sync for Microsoft outlook” tool which syncs the contacts directly from Gmail My Contacts, else they export the contacts from Gmail in a CSV file and upload the CSV into outlook.
