How to View Your Google Contacts on Google Drive

Time needed: 1 minute

When you are about to share a document or a folder in Google Drive (or when you look with whom a document is shared), you may not know exactly the names, positions, phone of the people you intend to collaborate with in that document or folder.

To integrate your Google contacts with your Google Drive, just follow these simple steps: You will then be able to see the contacts, and even update them and share them directly from the Drive interface!

1. Make sure you have Shared Contacts Addon for Drive™ installed

   If not, get it from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

2. Click on the “Shared Contacts” icon on the vertical bar on the right

   The right-side pane opens on Shared Contacts for Drive™
   
   

3. On the Dropdown menu, click on “Contact Lists”

   All your Google contact labels will appear on the right of your Google Drive.
   
   

4. Navigate through the contact lists and click on the contacts to see the details

   A popup allowing you to see, edit, comment or share the contact will open.
