Turning off the Power Save feature fixed this problem on my Galaxy s7 phone.
I only have 1 Google account, and yes, it is listed under the email address I have attached to that account. When I go to Settings>Accounts>Google, this is what I see:
my email address
Sign-in & security
Personal info & privacy
Account preferences
When I click on my email address, this is what I see:
Sync App Data
Sync Calendar
Sync Chrome
Sync Google Fit data
Sync People details (this is not Contacts - already verified this through a search I did since I wasn't sure if it had just been renamed)
Sync Picasa Web albums
There is no option for Sync Contacts, yet everything I've read says there should be. And at one point, I'm pretty sure it was there. However, I wasn't using Google Contacts at the time, so if/when it went away, I didn't notice it. Now that I'd like to start using my Google Contacts and Google Calendar, I don't see an option to Sync Contacts.

My phone does not have Google Contact Sync and have same problem. So I obtain the apk and use the version suitable for my phone. Here is the link Google Contacts Sync 4.0.4-488656 APK Download by Google Inc. - APKMirror
Then after install, voila my google contact appear now and I can sync properly.
Hi Ben,
After I tap show system process, I don't still see "Google Contacts Sync", I can see only below 4 starting with Google, not sure why?
- Google Account Manager
- Google Cast
- Google Play services
- Google Play Store
- Google Services Framework
I am really appreciated your assistance.

I was having the same issues. Not sure if your solution worked or if it was the fact that I freed up some of my space and updated my apps. Either way, now I can see all my contacts and all my accounts are synced up to date. I followed your solution and free space/updated apps and now it is working. Thank you.Got the fix. The reason was that the Google Contacts Sync was disabled somehow.
Fix-
go to the settings>apps .
In the options , select to show system apps.
Then check for 'Google Contacts Sync', and enable it.
After doing this, go to settings>accounts and uncheck and check the 'auto-sync data' option.
This will bring back the contacts sync option for the Google account.
Thanks,
Ben
