Can I share my “Other contacts” folder from Google using Shared Contacts Dashboard?
“Other Contacts” are people you’ve interacted with in Google products. They are not saved as regular contacts and will not appear in the search results when you use the Contacts search bar. Because “Other Contacts” is an internal Google service, they cannot be shared directly. However, you can add these contacts to a label and share the label with others. Once added, they become part of your regular contacts, making them easier to find, manage, and share.
-
In Google Contacts, click “Other Contacts.”
-
Select the contacts you want to share:
-
For a single contact, hover over their name and click the checkbox.
-
For multiple contacts, keep clicking the checkboxes next to each name.
-
To select all, click the drop-down arrow at the top and select All.

-
-
Click the label icon at the top, then add the contacts to a new or existing label.
-
Click Save. You can now share this label with others.
For detailed instructions on sharing a label, follow these steps.
