| Aug 9, 2014 at 17:47 | comment | added | Řídící | @PaulGilfedder When you said 'dragged it to google', this was not on an iPad/iPhone, or was it? If so, how did you do that? | |

| Aug 9, 2014 at 17:13 | comment | added | Paul Gilfedder | I think the answer was all your own work. I just asked if eth contacts app could boss the other systems around. :) | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 17:09 | comment | added | Řídící | @PaulGilfedder I think I figured it out. In Contacts you can edit a contact and link it to other contacts. They then become one. I'll have a look if it will sync all ways. Thanks for putting me on this track. (Did you?) ... OK, it still doesn't really sync. :( But at least they are together now. | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 17:05 | comment | added | Paul Gilfedder | The closest fix I could do is drag a contact from one address book to another. I created one in the local contacts and dragged it to google and it updated. Its a single create and then a drag not perfect but at the moment its as close as I can get | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 16:52 | comment | added | Řídící | @PaulGilfedder I did and added your brother. He immediately popped up in Google and not on O365. Well, that is certainly good to know and helpful. Thanks. But now suppose I want your brother also in O365? Do I really have to maintain duplicates? | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 16:48 | comment | added | Paul Gilfedder | Next step I suppose is set Google as the default account and see what happens. Seeing as you want Google to be your master contacts list | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 16:47 | comment | added | Řídící | @PaulGilfedder There is a setting for the Contacts default account. It was pointing to O365. "New contacts created outside of a specific account will be added to this account." | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 16:43 | comment | added | Řídící | @PaulGilfedder That's interesting. I just added you in the Contacts app. You then showed up in O365, but not (yet?) on Google. (More problems!) | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 16:33 | comment | added | Paul Gilfedder | I just have a question: If you create a contact in the Contacts app rather than in google or O365 do both Google and O365 see it? | |
