Backup Android Phone Contacts To Pc

To keep your contacts backed up and synced to all your devices, you can automatically save device contacts as Google contacts. Google contacts are available across Google services and can be managed on any signed-in device. If the original device is lost or damaged, the contacts can automatically sync to a new device when you sign in.
When you sign out of a phone or tablet, all your Google contacts will be removed from that device to prevent other people who use that device from accessing them. Your Google contacts will remain in your Google Account and sync to a new device when you sign in.
Tip: To use device contacts across Google services without saving them as Google contacts, turn on Save contact info from your devices. That setting includes SIM contacts and contacts syncing with other cloud services, but you can only manage them on the original device. To back up device contacts without saving them as Google contacts, learn how to back up data on your Android device.
To sync/copy your contacts to the My Cloud would require the use of a third party app that has the capability to sync or copy the contacts to an NAS device (either locally or remotely). Check the Android/Google store for such an app if it exists. Or log into the Gmail account and export the contact list and save it to your My Cloud.
As previously indicated one can backup their Contacts which their Android device syncs to their Google Gmail account by logging into their Gmail account, then select Contacts > More > Export then follow the on screen directions. Once the file is exported one can copy the exported file to their My Cloud or any other location for backup.

Google will constantly sync your contacts. This includes all current contacts, as well as ones you add or delete at any point. Whether your phone suddenly gets destroyed, stops working, or you need to switch devices, those who back up Android contacts to their Google account will always have their numbers in the cloud and ready for download. You need to set it up once, and let it handle all the work.
I have an android tablet and so I do not need to back up phone stuff but I use an app called FolderSync Pro. Very robust. It allows folder level backups to cloud accounts or in my case, my NAS. Sync to your device, sync to backup target, or even sync contents to create a mirrored folder. I really like it.
If you are using Office365 you should be backing up Office365 not the end points. Use a tool like Veeam for Office365 to backup all your data in Office365 and that will include all email on the phones as well as any contacts created within the confines of the email account.
While storing Android backup data on Google sites is not a bad idea, it may leave your files at risk if someone steals or otherwise takes possession of your phone. With your phone in hand, someone could compromise or delete valuable backup data from your Google accounts without your knowledge. Therefore, even if you feel your backup data is secure with Google, you should still store another copy in a secure environment for additional redundancy and peace of mind.
As mentioned, there are many backup apps for your Android phone or tablet. But no other backup app for Android provides the same accuracy, reliability, ease-of-use, and security as the Acronis Mobile Backup App.\n
Out of all the data that you keep on your Android phone, your contact list or phonebook is perhaps the most important.

With Acronis Mobile, you can back up contacts from an Android phone to a PC or the cloud in minutes.
Most modern Android phones and tablets include cameras that allow you to snap high-quality photos. And even though you might not be a professional photographer, the pictures you take with your Android are still important to you.\n\nGoogle does provide some free storage for your Android photos online. However, it may not be sufficient if you take a lot of pictures. Hence, when you need to save your photos for posterity or archival purposes, Acronis Mobile enables you to back up pictures from Android and store them either on your PC or securely in the Acronis Cloud. Even if you take only a few photos, storing them separate from your Google account adds another layer of protection.

If you are wondering about how to back up an iPhone, no need to worry. With Acronis True Image, backing up or restoring iPhone data is just as easy as it is with Android.
The only problem is that neither OS offers a proprietary method of connecting to each other, so users can quickly find themselves frustrated when trying to swap files and contacts between the two. The good news is that there are some great solutions available to help you easily connect an Android phone to Mac in a simple and stress-free fashion.
With MacDroid, you can easily pull contacts from Android devices, edit Android files on Mac, and more. Two modes help you tailor the service to your needs: single-operation for quick connections, or multi-operation for more powerful file transfers. MacDroid offers compatibility with macOS 10.15, as well as support for MTP and ADB connections.
With MacDroid, you can seamlessly transfer files (e.g., photos, music, videos, contacts, etc.) between your Mac and Android device. The app works seamlessly with all Android phones, including top brands:
If you can save your backups as physical files (i.e. .json, .jex, .pdf, .xml, .opml, .vcf, .vxp, etc.), perhaps DroidFS would make for a decent solution. You can create encrypted volumes using your native directory or create a hidden volume within the app itself (if you go this route, I believe creating encrypted backups of your hidden volumes is also possible).
Loosing this old S7 would be a disruption. The main use case for this device is using Google Play / Pay to pay for MySudo and using MySudo. The next reason is using Gmail for password resets as I change accounts to non gmail logins.
Taking the time to back up as well gives me a moment to audit anything that I should not have on that device. I should be able to purchase any cheap prepaid phone, restore Google Back Up and install MySudo. Done.
I do complex backups by having a sencond phone of the same model (but it can be some used and very cheap one) and simply reinstall it with transferring all the data from my main phone several times a year. As these are older Pixels it works great.
I have Dropbox up & running on 2 Android phones. I have ticked the box in Dropbox Settings to Sync Contacts on both phones. What am I supposed to do next? I can find no sign of any "contacts" on Dropbox and no syncing process happening. I can find no guidance anywhere in help or on a Google search. They all seem to say it happens automatically after ticking the right box.
I believe that option is just to authorize the app to sync contacts already on that particular phone. It needs that permission to access it. Dropbox doesn't sync that contact list anywhere. Although on Android, on settings, one can sync Google to all devices, thus its can sync then but not thru Dropbox
Pardon me, I am sorry if I am misunderstanding you. But when you type an name in a field, it should automatically try to fill it with possible contacts. This info has to come from somewhere. I don't find any settings in Dropbox app to this, however on web interface at you can remove all imported contacts. Screenshot this is what I was referring to. If I am way off base, sorry.
My understanding of 'Sync' is that there should be an identical copy (synchronised) of my mobile phone contacts on Dropbox so that I can access or copy (synchronise) the contacts with another mobile phone.
At the moment, I have ticked all the boxes to make this happen via 2 mobile phone Dropbox apps. One mobile phone has a full contacts list, one is empty and there is no sign of any contacts data in my Dropbox space. What am I missing?
I understand what you are trying to accomplish but within Dropbox app on phone, I find it not going to happen because on phone app is different than a Desktop app (Client). On Mobile app, it list all the files but the files are NOT Downloaded to your phone. This is because it does not want to consume all your data and space on cell. ex: I have about 78 GB of stuff, there is no way that stuff will be able to get on phone. However, one can 'favorite' the file and put it on HD of cell. But then again, it downloads to a specific place and how are you going to get it to Dropbox. Do you have an app that does that?
