Move contacts to Exchange ActiveSync Account

[kyleresq]

I started working for a new company that uses Exchange ActiveSync. I have an Android Samsung 10+ phone using Android 9.

When I get business cards from marketing contacts, I add them to my phone via an “adobe scan” program that takes photos of cards and populates the fields, adding them to my address book. I am then trying to copy the contacts (which by default are saved to my device) to my Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account so I can email them for marketing purposes. However, on my phone, the only options to move them to are my personal gmail or a secondary gmail that I use. Even though under “accounts” “Exchange Activesync” is set to sync, it is not an option to transfer these work contacts.

Open to ideas. Our IT department doesn't have an answer.

Export the contacts from Google Contacts - left column, bottom. You have the choice of Google CSV, Ourlook CSV and vCard.. Either Google CSV or Outlook CSV will probably work, (The techs in the IT department should be familiar enough with .csv files that they can tell at a glance, once you create the files.)

Continuously linking them, so every contact you add gets saved to Exchange? Probably not. Microsoft would have to write a Contacts app to enable that. Google never had an EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) link for contacts, and it ended all EAS support in 2013. (Microsoft keeps making things better, but doesn't provide many details - and I guess Google got tired of trying to reverse engineer Windows to figure out how to link to it. That's a lot of work by very well-paid people, so it cost them a fortune.)

Even Microsoft's Exchange app doesn't link to EAS contacts.
