Feature request: Google Contact Sync

m0nkey_ · 29 Aug 2017, 09:44 AM

Been a customer of FastMail for a couple of years now. There is one thing I would like to see is Google Contacts synchronization. My only gripe I have with FM is that I have to maintain two contact lists. Having sync with Google contacts would be awesome!

Before you say it, yes I'm aware of CardDav, but in my experience it doesn't work very well on Android devices and I when I make changes I have to remember to sync my contacts manually. Changes to my Google contacts are synced instantly.

API link: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/

If FM can make this happen, you'll make me a very happy customer

yeah maybe.. but I have a Galaxy S7 so I keep it synced to Google..
and I keep a different set of contacts on FM . with comse contacts being on both list... but then again I guess I wouldn't mine syncing them...
but they would have to have support for the same contact fields...
