Gmail contacts list location
The Gmail contacts list is stored in a file called "contacts.vcf" in your Google Account's data directory. The exact location of this file varies depending on the operating system and device you're using. Here are some common locations where you might find the contacts.vcf file:
Desktop/Laptop:
- Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Google Sync\contacts.vcf
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Google Sync/contacts.vcf
Mobile Devices:
- Android:
/data/data/com.google.android.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
(Note: This is a database file, not a vcf file. You can use a file manager app to export the contacts as a vcf file.) - iOS:
~/Library/Contacts/Contacts.db
(Note: This is a database file, not a vcf file. You can use a file manager app to export the contacts as a vcf file.)
Online:
- You can also access your Gmail contacts online by signing in to your Google Account and going to the Contacts page. From there, you can export your contacts as a vcf file.
Keep in mind that the contacts.vcf file is a binary file, so you won't be able to open it with a text editor. If you want to view or edit the contacts, you'll need to use a contact management app or a spreadsheet program like Google Sheets.
Also, note that the contacts.vcf file is specific to your Google Account, so if you have multiple accounts, you'll need to find the contacts.vcf file for each account separately.
