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...
I think this is really good idea. It would be extremely helpful to have shared contacts under Office 365 groups like Shared Mailbox.
Agreed - having group Contacts along with Inbox and Calendar would be super useful, along with the ability to sync / edit those group contacts on a mobile device.
A basic use case I had recently was a law firm using a group for each case they were handling - each case has a number of contacts (counsel, court clerk, complainant, opposing counsel, etc. They wanted to be able to access those contacts from Outlook on PC & Mac, as well as via iPhone.
Using SharePoint contact list, you cannot sync to Outlook for Mac, and there is limited native sync functionality for mobile devices - e.g. the contacts would not show up in the addressbook on a phone, so callerID doesn't work, etc.

I couldn't agree more - This is the exact sort of functionality our company is needing right now. Most of our company is non-technical and it needs to be as simple as possible.
