Share GMail contacts between different accounts

Are you looking for the best way to share contacts with your colleagues and friends? Or do you want to simply share contact between two accounts that you own ? Or you want to build a Global Contacts List ?

Unfortunately there is no feature that is built into Gmail that allows you to do this. One straightforward way of course is to Export your Contacts as .csv file from one account  & import  them into another account. You can find detailed instructions here:

1. Export Contacts from Gmail

2. Import Contacts into Gmail
