Open kaffeeringe opened 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I learned in #389 that Nextcloud isn't able to import that standard vcards that Outlook exports.

Describe the solution you'd like

Nextcloud should be able to import contacts from Outlook. Their .vcf-files but also their csv lists.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried to just change the version number in the text file. That didn't work. I tried to find a converter. That seems to be complicated.

Additional context

How are people supposed to switch from Outlook to Nextcloud?

Best option: Import from csv. Outlook offers csv-export...

Is there any work on this topic? It would be very helpfull for a current project of me to import contacts out of an excel list, because the updates will be provided by this list.

Hi Everyone,

I will consult with the team and see if we can dedicate some time to this feature.

Unfortunately, csv files might seem pretty easy but the processes to import them is not due to the fact that there is no standardized csv contact format, and field matching can be very complex
