  • Advice

    • Uploading a CSV file to the Google Contacts site will sync your contacts with all devices that use the same Google Account, including Android devices. You won’t need to import contacts directly from the file into Android unless you want to store the contacts on the phone itself.

    Warning

    • Android cannot recognize CSV files, so when you download a CSV file from Google Drive, the CSV format will be converted to PDF.
