Guest luketoms Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Hello everyone, Does anyone know how I can sync my Outlook contacts (that are synced to the Streak from my PC) to my Google account?? I know Google contacts can be synced to the Streak but I can't work out how to do it in reverse. Thanks, Luke

Thanks, Luke the sync should be two way, go into settings and force a sync then check your contacts on the gmail web page, I am not sure if all versions of outpuke will sync contacts with gmail I don't run Micro$haft os's
Guest luketoms Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I have tried a few times in the past and it doesn't seem to be two directional. Any other ideas??

Guest Wee Thomas Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 As you know, when you add contacts manually to your phone, it asks you which account you want to associate it with. That's how it syncs back from the phone to google. Similarly, the contacts from google or exchange are associated with that account. It would be very bad policy for google to copy contacts from one account to another w/o your express permission. And I'm sure privacy arrangements keep them from enabling that feature on a phone. Say your un pin or code protected phone gets stolen. Someone could add their google account, then copy all your contacts in one fell swoop. So, copying contacts across accounts is something that is accomplished through some other means. You need to find a third party app that allows your to migrate your contacts from outside google to google or manually do it yourself.
