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...
- I 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.

Super UserThe way I see it, it was just a misunderstanding between what Dropbox team sees and us users sees. I see where you are coming from.
Frankly, there are other 3rd party apps that can sync contacts and some are able to link to their Dropbox account. That is because developers of these apps use the Dropbox API to make it available for one to access their Dropbox folders.
I use iPhone now but when I had Android, there were many that does this beautifully and I was able to sync backups to my DB Folder. There is probably an app for iPhone too, but I haven't bothered to look
I believe the Dropbox team just wanted to leave this task to other developers
