There are plenty of good reasons for wanting to import contacts into Gmail instead of manually adding them. For one, an import offers the simple possibility of integrating existing CSV lists of contact data – for example, from a client database – into Google’s mail client. For another, the function is popular when an address book from another email program needs to be transferred into Gmail. Thanks to the import function, you won’t have to manually enter and resave every single contact one-by-one.
Finally, you can also use the function if you want to import a backup of your Google contacts. Whatever your reasons for wanting to import data into your Google contacts, it doesn’t change the individual steps in the process. Here’s what you need to do:
First, sign in to the Google account that contains the address book you wish to add new entries to. To do so, launch your Google account sign-in page and sign in with your personal account information.
