I am not aware of any standard way of doing this (there are programs that do multi-contact export in *.vcf), nor do I know whether this would be a topic for DAVdroid or ICSdroid.

Do you know of any way, to share multiple contacts via a (password-protected) URL, that can be synced to android contacts (obviuosly read-only)?

Application could be: export of centrally managed customer contact info’s, export of corporate mail directory, …

Thanks for the response, @devvv4ever ! You raise some good points about duplicate contacts and merging algorithms, and I agree that such ideas are well beyond the scope of DAVx5. However, I have yet to find a FOSS (or even just freely-available) app that does a good job of simply copying contacts between accounts. Samsung may have one, but I don’t have a Samsung phone.

My plan for merging the CopyContacts app I linked into DAVx5 was to create a new DAVx5 contact store for any existing contact store the user wants DAVx5 to manage. Basically, like you, I also wanted to avoid the issue of contact merging. Sure, this would create a lot of extra accounts/contact stores, but it would at least allow existing contacts to be merged (and synced) by DAVx5.

Thoughts?

I have exactly the same problem. There are apps which are able do handle multiple adressbooks.
would be great if also davdroid could handle this.

Hello!

Requested feature could make possible serverless decentralized peer-to-peer syncronization using external tool like Syncthing, BTSync, etc.
