====== Sync Zimbra Shared Contacts to Android ======

:!: This is using **[[internet:mail:zimbra:zimbra_zextras|Zextras]]** for Zimbra **mobile device support**.

:!: Shared Contacts folder(s) must be visible in the Zimbra Web Client.

<note tip>Synchronizing your **default Contacts** folder is easy and does **not** require this app to be installed.</note>

<note warning>Beware you do not cause your Zimbra account to be **locked out** by trying the wrong credentials too many times in a short period!  If you get locked out, you can wait an hour or contact your Zimbra admin.</note>

===== CardDAV-Sync App =====

If you need to synchronize a **shared contacts folder**, you can use the **CardDAV-Sync** Android app.  The free version seems to work well on a Samsung S20 phone.

===== Get the CardDAV URL =====

In the Zimbra Web Client:

**ZWC -> Contacts (tab) -> <your shared contacts folder> (drop list) -> Share Contacts Folder**

**Right-Click the URL -> Copy Link Location**

{{:quick_guide:zimbra_share_contacts.png?direct&525 |Share Contacts Folder}} {{ :quick_guide:zimbra_shared_contacts_url.png?direct&325|Copy CardDAV URL}}


===== Add Account in CardDAV-Sync =====

**Add Account -> CardDAV -> Enter Zimbra URL and Credentials **

:!: Leave ''Use SSL'' selected.

You can also edit Settings (gear icon) for options like:

  * Sync Interval
  * One-Way Sync
