| Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | DaveDiLorenzo | 5/29/09 9:17 AM | Is there any way to share contacts/groups between two gmail accounts without exporting/importing to/from .csv, so that contacts could remain in sync and groups would be maintained? From what I've read here it seems the answer is no. If that's true, |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | kuzmicheff | 6/26/09 5:32 AM | I manage a small team of web developers collaborating remotely from different countries.

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | RosellenK | 10/7/09 7:45 AM | If there ever is a way to do it, I would really appreciate it. I use the contact groups to create nifty email distribution lists for multiple organizations (PTSA, Scouts, Church, etc). When my term of office is up I would love to "share" the list wi |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 10/7/09 12:55 PM | @ RosellenK - in your case I think that's fairly easy to achieve.All you need to do (at the appropriate time) is to 'Export' your Contacts details: it'll come out in a .csv file format which you can then edit in Excel. This will enable you to remove |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | dflorey | 10/10/09 4:17 AM | Hi, you can use our shared contacts app to share your contacts. Works with Premier and Standard edition + regular GMail accounts. Here is a screencast how to install the free trial for your Google Apps domain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgiJuxe4 |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 10/10/09 6:12 AM | .... but please be aware that this (Non-Google) Shared Contacts service costs $50/yr for small business - up to $200/yr for large business!! |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | keith.duff | 12/19/09 5:34 AM | I would like to see a shared contact option set up just like shared calendars - where I can invite others to share a contact list (or group, I suppose) and give rights to just read or read/write. I would use this in two ways: 1) I have a pers |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | mihir.meghani | 1/16/10 2:06 PM | I echo comments by others that a shared address book that could be shared with other Gmail users or Google Apps users would be extremely helpful. Alternative, if one address books could automatically sync with another address book, that would be help |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 1/17/10 4:12 AM | I'd suggest you look at Soocial for your sync-ing.Although Google Apps have many really useful features for sharing data, it hasn't got to Address books yet! |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | TattieAmy | 1/23/10 8:42 AM | It's easy to sync GoogleContacts with a Blackberry - just install the Google Sync App on your Blackberry. This will also Sync you Blackberry Calander with Google Calander if you like. |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | fllocim | 2/8/10 4:43 AM | is it the chat group who invites you or it is you who invites them |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 2/8/10 5:12 AM | You invite the other individual parties" to join you in a chat, and they can equally invite you. |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | somebodyelse04 | 3/2/10 7:35 PM | Google Synce just started to support two way sync for the Blackberry Enterprise server. Before it was only one way. |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | somebodyelse04 | 3/2/10 7:54 PM | I will try to be very specific about the need for Contact sync between different Google Account holders:1.

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | lucy.magill | 3/25/10 9:10 AM | I'm fairly new to gmail and am wondering if there has been any progress regarding sharing address books among other people in my organization.

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | LarryInMazatlan | 5/6/10 12:32 PM | I also wish Gmail would have the option of a sharable address book, but... Right now the option i've found that does work to synchronize contacts across various gmail accounts is the Zindus addon for Thunderbird. All it requires is the gmail address |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | LarryInMazatlan | 5/6/10 12:36 PM | Whoops, i forgot to mention, I haven't tested it yet, but the Zimbra desktop email client also promises to synchronize contacts across multiple gmail and yahoo accounts - and not just contacts, but also calendars, tasks, etc. Right now i just neede |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | Marrz | 12/7/10 7:21 PM | I'd like to echo the need to share contacts.

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | Bfullerine | 12/27/10 3:39 PM | I would like to see what the status is on this one?

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 1/7/11 11:52 AM | @wyt168 - Status - no change (and somewhat unlikely to be).1) No, only Google staff can create 'stickies' at the top of the forum pages2) No, there's no way of sorting the postings either. |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | AdamHasaVoice | 2/3/11 10:22 AM | This seems like a great feature if your whole family is on Gmail, and a nice opportunity for Google to market Gmail to new users "Get your wife off Yahoo Mail, and you can share contacts with her!" |

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | DaveBoston | 2/14/11 12:14 PM | Google??? |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 2/14/11 1:07 PM | Google provided a way to achieve it right from the very start.You Export the Contacts data from one account (as a CSV file) and then Import it into any others. (Granted it's not terribly user-friendly, but it works!). |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | wreckcreations | 2/22/11 7:41 AM | John W2 - i think that this is not what everyone, including myself is asking for - we are asking for an automatic sync between contacts, so that you do not have to export and then import every time you add a contact to one account that everyone has. |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 2/22/11 8:09 AM | @wreckcreations - Gmail is a service for personal e-mail usage, and as such it perhaps sees no reason to devote effort into doing something that "normal users" would rarely need! However, Business users (who, incidentally are obliged to be using Go |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | OperaMasterRace | 3/22/11 6:28 PM | This is a joke that Google apps dosnt have the option for a global set of contacts to sync up between users. |
| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | Marrz | 4/8/11 11:07 AM | @ John W2. This is a feature that "normal users" need, and would really use.

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 4/9/11 4:18 AM | @Marrz - I have no doubt that it would be really useful to people like yourself!

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | aprylmcdowell1 | 5/4/11 7:28 AM | @JohnW2 This service of sharing contacts is probably wanted by most individuals that are sharing their calendar.

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | JohnW2 | 5/4/11 4:43 PM | @aprylmcdowell1 - sharing Calendars and sharing Contacts are not really the same thing.

| Re: Sharing contacts/groups between two gmail accounts | winefarmer | 5/9/11 9:51 AM | The simple answer is that there is a buck to be made on sharing contacts. That is why they force you to join Google apps even if you are an individual that wants to use these services. My wife and I share a calander and would love to be able to share |
