2 Simple Steps to Transfer Google Contacts

For some reasons you may own more than one Gmail accounts. One for personal use, one for work. This is not illegal. Google allows its users to create more than one Gmail accounts.

Once you created a Gmail account and send an email to someone, you can save her/his email address to your Google Contacts. Google Contacts it self is a built-in feature of Gmail. Since maintaining many Gmail accounts sometimes can be confusing, you may start thinking of gathering all your Google Contacts to a single account. Unfortunately, Google offers no way to automatically sync contacts between two different Google accounts. So, you have to do it manually.

Don’t worry, it’s completely easy. Follow these steps to do.

1. Export

  • Login to your Gmail account that you want to transfer its contact and head to Contact menu on the top-left corner.
