What happens to Google contacts in the People app in Windows 8
- by Klas Mellbourn
In the People tile in Windows 8, you can connect to your different accounts, e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook, Google contacts.
I have a lot of contact information in Google Contacts that I have carefully curated. I also have Facebook and LinkedIn contacts.
I have already connected Facebook and LinkedIn contacts to the People app, and it seems to work ok.
If I connect my Google Contacts to the People app too, what exactly will happen to the Google contacts?
Will my Google contacts be modified in any way by the People app? Merged? Synced?
(I understand that they will look merged in the People app, but I am wondering what will happen to the actual Google contacts, which I often use outside the People app)
For instance:
If a contact is in Facebook but is missing from Google Contacts, will it be created in Google contacts?
If there is a picture for a person in both Facebook and Google Contacts, will the Google Contacts picture be overwritten?
If I add a field, such as "Comments" to a contact in the People app, will that comment be written to the comment field for that contact in Google Contacts?
