Share Contacts in Office 365 Groups
I'm not seeing an option to share Contacts Lists in Office 365 Groups. Are there any plans to add this? Thanks...
Gotcha. Well the good news is that SharePoint team sites now integrate with and sit on top of Office 365 Groups. The feature is currently being rolled out globally.
So if browsing to your Group you should see a "Home" button which would then take you to the SharePoint site. If it's not there - it will be over the next month or so.
Once that is there you can set up your contact list.

I have to chime in here a second time as I went back on this thread and read through it again. Has anyone here ever set up a contact list in SharePoint? OMG that is the UGLIEST thing I have seen in a long time. It looks like it was made in an HTML 101 class. I mean great that it's SharePoint and all that but most users get a blank stare when you say SharePoint. The contacts folder in Outlook they understand and that is what they want to use. When I created Public folders they looked the same as their contacts folder and that depreciated technology.
Don't get me wrong. I love SharePoint and I try to push clients towards it every day but this is an uphill battle. Groups are the logical place to have a list of contacts that are specific to that group. Please for the love of little green apples make this simple. Elegant is not always the right solution. People are used to using Outlook. Don't make them go somewhere else just to see a contact and get the email address or phone number to go back to Outlook again to send that email. Design the product the way people WANT to use it and not as you think they should use it.
