I have a Google Apps (free) account. I wish to add email and other contact information to the (shared) directory.

  1. How do I do this one at a time? Right now the directory just has the users' emails.
  2. Is there a way to import vCards or other format for the directory? I see how to add them to the address book, but not the directory.

I don't have an existing Exchange or other setup to pull them from.

Update Dec 12 '11: Yes, under Settings>Contacts>Contact Sharing it is set for Enable contact sharing and Show all email addresses.

    I do not understand when you say you want to add emails but not users. Are you saying you want to add emails to the shared contact list? Commented Dec 11, 2011 at 10:29
  • Yes, emails of outside people to the shared contact list. Commented Dec 13, 2011 at 22:24

Okay. Assuming that you want to add contacts (not users), follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have the Contacts service added to the domain. (https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/==yourdomain==/SelectServices)
  2. Goto Contacts service settings and Enable contact sharing.
  3. Now, goto: http://www.google.com/contacts/a/==yourdomain==
  4. You can import contacts based on CSV or even vCard.

Hope this helps.

  • For step 1, I don't see that choice. I saw that on another screen, however. But this seems to add them to my contacts only, not to all users. Is there a step after this for sharing it to others? Commented Dec 12, 2011 at 2:06
  • When you have enabled contact sharing, everyone in your userbase must be able view these contacts. Commented Dec 12, 2011 at 4:52
  • I have added them as Shared Contacts using SherpaTools. But they aren't visible to the users. Or they and I don't know where to look. Commented Dec 12, 2011 at 23:21
