hi I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. whenever I tap on the CSV file it gives me an error that the file is unsupported or corrupt. I have saved the file on my Gdrive

Anyone who has a Google account that has synced their contacts with Google but can't....DO THIS:

Get on a PC and go to your Gmail and click on contacts.

Click on MORE.

Click on EXPORT.

Keep Google CSV format checked.

Click EXPORT.

This will download your contacts into a CSV file. It will either be in your default downloads folder if using chrome or your designated folder using explorer. Get this file to your phone. There are many ways.....Google drive or Dropbox is the easiest. Put the CSV file in your Gdrive. Open Gdrive with phone, tap the CSV file, follow prompts, and now your contacts will be on your phone.

Usually a delete of your Google account off your phone and then re-signing in fixes the sync problem but you might have to remove account, reboot, then re-sign in to get it to work.

I tried the above but when after saving the file on my Gdrive and retrieving from my phone I get an error that the file is corrupt or unsupported. But when downloading the file I am able to read it. I do not get any prompt to follow. Samsung Galaxy Note 4

The deleting and re-signing worked.... Thank you

You should provide more details on this. Do you mean you store the contacts in excel?
