With the “Google Contacts” online service, the search engine giant has, for many years, been offering a free address book. On the one hand, it is available as a web application via contacts.google.com,and on the other, it is integrated as a standalone function in Google services, such as the email client Gmail or Google Workspace office products. If you have an active Google account, you can make use of the practical web service for storing contacts at any time. As long as you are logged in and have opened Google Contacts, you can add new contacts in just a few clicks, group them, view, change, or delete existing entries.
Another extremely useful feature is the option to export entries created in Google Contacts. In this way, you can (as in Gmail and Google Workspace) access the entire address book without web applications – regardless of which device you’re using. Furthermore, the exported contact data can then be integrated into diverse Gmail alternatives such as Outlook or Thunderbird. In the following paragraphs, we’ll show you how you can export your Google or Gmail contacts.
