3. Need to add this folder to the crm , meaning all the records in this folder will be same as in crm.

    Hello EmployeeOcta,

    The automatic contact synchronization only works in one direction, to outlook from CRM and that is if you have server-side synchronization turned on.

    To get contacts from outlook to 365 there are a couple of methods:

    1. You can use the "Import Contacts" option in "File" -> "CRM" -> "Import Contacts" of your outlook client. This creates a data import record that takes an xml, csv, txt, xlsx, or zip file and you can map the info from there.

    2. You can create a data import from inside Dynamics CRM which takes the same file types as option 1.

    Let us know and verify if this helps.

    Best of luck,

    Ryan
