Android Contacts Sync
I have Dropbox up & running on 2 Android phones. I have ticked the box in Dropbox Settings to Sync Contacts on both phones. What am I supposed to do next? I can find no sign of any "contacts" on Drop...
- 8 years agoI know this is an old(er) post, but I wanted to do this today and found this page. After a little playing around, there is a very simple way to do this.
Firstly, The 'Sync Contacts' option label in the Dropbox settings is misleading, it is there to share Dropbox content with your contacts.
You can however very easily add your contacts to Dropbox:
1) Go into your contacts app
2) Select all your contacts
3) Select the share button
4) Select 'Add to Dropbox'
It will upload a file called 'Contacts.vcf' to your Dropbox, and will be visible in your files. Just make a folder for it and you're good to go.
Hopefully this helps someone looking into this same issue.

Hello Ian
Chris's first point was spot on. You won't see any change on usage upon syncing your contacts, but rather have the ability to easily find them when trying to share a folder or a file.
The 'sync' you are looking for (camera, etc) has no relation to "contacts" (people) sync. You can read more about contacts sync here: https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/1979
