Syncing contacts between device and Google (or some other service)
Hi there, I'm wondering if there's a way to sync contacts on my device with a service such as Google, so I can access and manage contacts from any device I have associated with the same account.
I'm using 9Folders to sync with my work's Exchange server which is where I have my contacts at the moment. 9 is great because it saves the contacts to the device so I can take advantage of things like Google Now and native reminders. I realised recently that Google Maps doesn't work properly because my contacts aren't in my Gmail account.
I know I can export the contacts on my phone and import them into Gmail Contacts, however, that's a one-off task and any changes I make to my contacts aren't going to be synced. Also, importing into Gmail is pretty dodgy, I've done it before and I get a lot of junk imported that doesn't even make sense.
It's a simple thing I'm trying to do, just can't seem to figure it out. Hoping someone has some good advice please.
Cheers,
Pete
