Address Book in EPIM and Google Contacts
I have the updated version of EPIM Pro in both Windows and Android.
I want to manage a single address book synchronized in Google Contacts in 2-Way.
However, in EPIM the contacts are either in the "Local Contacts" or in the address book synchronized with the Google account.
I don't think there is a way for a contact to be present in both the local address book and the Google address book.
I understand that this is a problem because EPIM Pro Android synchronizes with EPIM Pro Windows only the local contacts.
In this way I do not have the Google contacts on the smartphone unless I also manage the Google account on the smartphone, but for various reasons I do not want to do this.
How can I solve the problem?

Re: Address Book in EPIM and Google Contacts
Please create a new synchronization for Google Contacts in WinEPIM and on the final setup step enable it to sync with the local account instead of a separate one. This should resolve the problem. Thanks!

Re: Address Book in EPIM and Google Contacts
Thanks for the reply. There was obviously a misunderstanding on my part because I thought that "local account" referred to the address book on PC / Smartphone.admin wrote: Sun Jun 22, 2025 12:40 pm Please create a new synchronization for Google Contacts in WinEPIM and on the final setup step enable it to sync with the local account instead of a separate one.

When the contacts in Local on EPIM Win will be synchronized with the address book in EPIM Android, then to call these contacts on the smartphone how will I have to do? Do I see them in the standard Android address book or do I have to open EPIM Android first?

Re: Address Book in EPIM and Google Contacts
whitetiger, either way is fine. Just note that to see the contacts in your standard Android address book, you need to enable the "Use EPIM system account" option in AEPIM contact settings.
