How do you import multiple VCF or CSV Files to Google Contacts

Question

I was trying to find a way to import multiple VCF/CSV contacts to Google Contacts in one shot, instead of adding one by one.

Combining Multiple .VCF or .CSV Files for Importing

Unfortunately, there isn’t any batch import for vcf and csv contacts in Gmail. A workaround for this is to take all your vCard or exported contact files and combine them into a single file and then upload that one master file.

Steps for Windows

Step 1: Launch a command prompt by Clicking the Start button and typing Cmd and pressing Enter.

Step 2: Go to the directory where your exported contacts are located.

Step 3: Type:

COPY *.csv combinedfile.csv

and Press Enter. Or, if you’re combining .vcf files, type

COPY *.vcf combinedfile.vcf

and Press Enter.

Step 4: Next steps are pretty straightforward, go to contacts, click on More -> Import, and select the appropriate option. Upload the file and you are done!

Combining Exported Contacts in OS X

To perform this same task in OS X, launch Terminal, go to the directory that has your exported contacts and type:

fmt -sp *.vcf > combinedfile.vcf

…or

fmt -sp *.csv > combinedfile.csv

Answer 2

Open powershell and type cat *.vcf > .\merge\merge.vcf
